    Asking/paying for votes in anything = perm ban from it

    Meh, its not so much the fact that "its just a competition", its more the principle of the thing. Obviously the one that sparked the inspiration for my suggestion was over a mini rank, however I don't give a fuck; I wasn't even in said competition.

    I'm 99% sure this is against the rules already.

    Not that I care, if they want to spend money on a minirank that's their choice.

    I believe a ban should be warranted but only a temporary ban a perm does sound a bit harsh.

    Buying votes is against the rules. You are currently allowed to ask for votes which is what is being discussed.

    This. Please. PLEASE. Not only is it bothersome, but it turns every voting competition into a popularity contest.

    Not that it'd do anything, really... even without people asking for votes, people would tend to vote for their friends. I'd like something official, though... so that if they ask the wrong person... =].

    I'd be in full support of people asking for votes leading to a DQ from the competition. Maybe a first time thing results in just a DQ from the competition. The second one results in a 3 month temp ban from any competitions. Third one is a perm ban from competitions only able to be removed via pardon.

    Asking/paying for votes in anything = perm ban from it

    I agree with asking for votes is pretty much like rigging a competition.

    Also i see alot of people saying about this minirank incident saying ''its only a mini rank'' im not sure what minirank it was etc, but arent miniranks tradable making them valuable in $? if so then this is clearly wrong and action should be taken.

    Asking/paying for votes in anything = perm ban from it

    As it stands, this type of behavior already constitutes an automatic disqualification from the said competition.

    I'd personally like to see the person publicly called out (as we've done before) with a usertitle along the lines of COMPETITION CHEATER or something along those lines, and any/all votes cast towards this persons entries for future polls deeply analyzed for signs of cheating.

    A perm ban is FAR too extreme for these circumstances, but a temp may be suitable.

    Asking/paying for votes in anything = perm ban from it

    So basically I'm going to propose this as a new rule, let me know what you guys think. It's going to be discussed in the SL but I'd really love community input on how the offenses are handled. It would be outlined as follows -

    Each offense occurs when someone asks for votes in a competition. Whether that be asking normally or offering to pay/give something in advance. Asking for votes would be wrong.

    1st Offense - DQ/removal from the competition.
    2nd Offense - 3 Month temp ban from all competitions forum-wide.
    3rd Offense - Perm Ban from competitions (pardonable)

    Nate, sorry to barge in on your idea and I'd love to have some input from yourself as well.

    Anyone who agrees or disagrees please let me know. Also, if you think the punishments are too harsh, let me know of any possible alternatives and they will be brought up in the SL

    I'm fine with this. I don't think anyone would do it more than once.

    Add in a 2 week temp ban to the 3rd offence's punishment and incorporate n4n0's usertitle idea, and it's perfect.

    Asking/paying for votes in anything = perm ban from it

    My whole problem is the draw a better pirate. Both those entries sucked ass but had 35+ votes. Because they asked friends to vote for them. Well smurfs wasn't bad he took time and drew it. What's the point of entering a comp when a shitty paint drawing that takes 2 seconds wins against detailed sketches. Why would anyone enter any comp knowing the vote whore is going to win

    This, but I don't think it should be pardonable, if you've tried to cheat three times in competitions, you're more than likely going to come back and do it again.

    If this is the case a ban seems way over the top. An infraction maybe...

    Asking/paying for votes in anything = perm ban from it

    Alright so here's a better/revised version with some if your guys' input

    1st Offense - One month competition ban
    2nd Offense - Two month competition ban
    3rd Offense - Perm Ban from competitions

    All of these will include an automatic disqualification from the competition in which the rule was broken and the user will be given the "BANNED FROM COMPETITIONS" usertitle.

    Cool?

    Not sure about the user title part, that wouldn't be fair to $100+ donors.
    Personally I think there should only be one warning and after a perm competition ban the ability to dispute the competition ban.

    I like the rules Dave they are definitely good to start with and if some revision needs to happen later it can.

    How would the competition bans be enforced? I'd assume there would be a sticky of people whom are banned from competitions?
