First, Eric will be posting the latest ROTM thread soon
.
The ROTM is a competition, however, the staff here still expects people to compete with some integrity. We firmly believe that the 6GA ROTM should be chosen by the 6GA community, and not by friends from other websites or people you know from school or anywhere else.
Because of this, we do review votes when it seems as though one of the candidates may be trying to swing things in his/her direction by "outsourcing" votes from other communities.
If we determine, after looking at who's voted, that the winning candidate most likely had people register on the site just to vote for him, he will be stripped of the ROTM title.
The most recent ROTM was a close vote. And there were concerns about whether or not Wen aka "lwlba" may have been receiving votes from people who normally don't come to this website.
Wen did not cheat or outsource votes. Wen only received 1 vote from a recently registered member, and the staff believes that the member could easily have been a long-time lurker. Every other vote Wen received were from established 6GA members, and had he won he would have completely deserved it.
There were more suspicious votes from recently-registered members for other candidates however. We won't say who these votes were for or who the members are because it would only cause drama and it doesn't affect the ROTM winner.
From now on though, people need to realize that the ROTM WILL BE a fair competition among the 6GA community ONLY. In the future, I will continue to review the votes, and anyone that is found to be having people sign up just to vote from them will be expelled from the ROTM, barred from being nominated again, and banned from the site for at least 3 days. There are a lot of great people on here with cool cars, and everyone is going to play by the same rules.
