Topic: [OFFICIAL POLL] QRK LOGO COMPETITION - page 22. (Read 34187 times)

FlipPro,
What do you think of my voting idea (like 3 posts above this one)?  Everyone writes-in, and you can't vote for yourself unless you make it to one of the final voting rounds...we need multiple voting rounds...Just a framework - it can be modified of course.

damn and i thought me getting three  votes was pretty good

I see the voting is being gamed as expected.

How does the community advise we proceed forward with the "votes"?

Do we pay to play (QRK necessary for vote to be counted) ?

I'm out of ideas. 

FlipPro,
You were on the Right track 100% - the voting needs to be revised.

I will bet you 10,000 quark that the "AshMasser" account is just a sock-puppet of one of the cheaters on this forum.

I would bet my life that "AshMasser" is simply a fake account - it's sort of convenient the account was just created a few hours ago...hmmm???

The real account names match-up with the designer names from our google doc...I'm sanders.334 on here and sanders334 on the google doc.

for example:
Google Doc             bitcointalk.org
Leigrec                        Leigrec
martijnp                      martijnp
barrysoetoro                barrysoetoro
smaragda                    smaragda
altcoincryptographer    altcoincryptographer

FlipPro - it's your money; you deserve a fair contest, and this thread is RAMPANT with cheating, including the sock-puppet named "AshMasser" that just chewed you out for trying to bring some order to this mess.  Do you really think AshMasser was looking out for the "50 designers"!?...lol  no way...that sock-puppet belongs to someone who feels they can't compete under Fair and Decent Rules.

Trust me, FlipPro, someone is trying to play you for a fool, which is EXTREMELY LOW considering it's the equivalent of conning you out of $12,000!!!

I admitted, yes I'd like to win. But it doesn't *only* benefit me when I campaign. Sure, most will just vote and that will be the end of it. But as I said, I've gotten a few people here and there curious about Quark because they have never heard of it before. Some had never even heard of Bitcoin before.

I'm not doing this for altruistic purposes. You are correct. But again, I honestly did think it would help the community in some small way, as well as helping me to get votes.

It probably won't help a whole lot...

The only reason others aren't being singled out is because they weren't "outed" the way I was. And I certainly am not going to be outing anyone since it already happened to me. But if you think others aren't out there campaigning for votes in this contest, you're kidding yourself. Google is your friend.

Anyway, peace to you and to all. I'm tired of having to defend myself. I am not dastardly and evil. I am not perfect either, but I'm a mostly decent person.

xenithrising...dude, I agree with you 100% - this contest is completely out of control...I was simply being sarcastic.

He has already said the contest will continue.

Besides, didn't you give me absolute *hell* over on quarktalk, because I was complaining about people with dozens and dozens of entries? Remember that? Remember how you scolded me *and others as well* about changing the rules mid-stream, etc?

Or have you forgotten all that, even though it was only a month ago?

Hypocrisy much?

FlipPro,
Firstly, thank you for bringing some order to this nightmare...

Here's my proposal.  We have 45 designers, and let's say we each get 1 vote.  The problem is we all have an urge to vote for ourselves, which would result in 1 vote for each person.  We need to have several rounds of voting, and no one can vote for themselves until the last round (or last two rounds, for example).

For example:

45 designers total:

1st round:  each designer vote for 5 other designers (can't vote for yourself)
then select the top 10 designers with most votes

2nd round:  each designer (all 45) vote for 3 of the remaining 10 designers.
select the top 5 designers with most votes

3rd round:  each designer (all 45) vote for 2 of the remaining 5.
select top 2 designers.

Final Round:  each designer (all 45) vote for 1 of the remain 2 logos.

I feel it's safest we all just write the names in, so we know there is no cheating.  For example:
round 1...I vote for:
1.  Freddy
2.  Tammy
3.  Sally
4.  Jimmy
5.  Frank

Also, I doubt all 45 designers will vote, so make sure people aren't cheating by creating an account and masquerading as one of the absent designers.  I've noticed a few people on this forum are very talented at creating sock puppets - it's pathetic, really.

Also, no more petitioning, "vote for me".  Each person, look at the google doc and select 5 names, then 3 names, etc.  

This is my general concept, feel free to modify the number of rounds or the number of votes, etc. if you please.

Again, FlipPro, thank you for stepping-in...I was really starting to lose hope in homo-sapiens in general.

Why are people's opinions "irrelevant" simply because they happen to be new to the community?

There IS a good side effect to my campaigning... and it doesn't just benefit ME... It opens up the world of Quark to a whole new audience who may or may not have been exposed to it otherwise. I have posted to several forums of which I am a member, and not exclusively in "crypto currency" forums, either, because some of the forums don't even HAVE such a forum.

For the most part, my efforts have been met with people willing to vote, and many others who have curiosity... lots of people asking "What is Quark? I've only heard of BitCoin before this..." etc... Is that really all that bad? Whether I win or lose, people have heard about Quark who might not have otherwise.

By saying that these new faces are irrelevant, aren't you sort of saying that the Quark community is pretty much fully established and NOT open to welcoming new members? That's what bothers me the most, I think.

People aren't irrelevant simply because they aren't a member of someone's exclusive little club, yet. I thought part of the idea was to bring in fresh new faces, spread the word, get Quark *noticed* as much as possible.

I really felt I could benefit Quark (and yes, myself) by campaigning. I'm not going to lie... *of course* I want to win. But I honestly did see this side benefit of introducing Quark to a new field of potential adopters.

Edit: The funny thing is, no one would have known about my campaigning if it weren't for that person who "outed" me for doing it on a forum they were already a member of. Had I been asked, I may have indeed admitted to campaigning elsewhere.  But others have campaigned here and elsewhere as well, so if they can do it why can't I?

Anyway, despite what people have insinuated about me here and there... I *do* care about the Quark community. Sure I'd like to win the contest, but it isn't *just* about that, for me. Believe it or not, I actually want Quark to succeed because I think it is a few breeds above most other crypto-currencies.

Thanks for your colorful opinion.

Consensus is all I seek.

The contest has turned into a slime fest, and is the opposite of what I wanted for quark.

Anyways the contest shall continue on, lets see if it picks up some media attention .

This contest CAN be redone, it's not that big of a deal. OP, can you make the poll only available to people who have 50+ posts? This would stop the troll accounts and the fake voting/whoring accounts etc. (Yes, I am aware that I have less than 50 posts but I want whats best for quark as I am heavily invested and a strong believer.

Man, shut the fuck up with your pseudo-intellectual bullshit. You're trying too hard.


This contest is absolutely ridiculous. The voting is rigged and the designs are shit (aside from 2 or 3 which aren't in the top 3 anyway). The prize money is RIDICULOUS and the design that wins won't even end up being the official design as other people have previously stated.

Ultimist's design looks like it should be the logo of a 1970's nuclear research facility. Whoever made this poll should have made another option titled "Keep the old logo?".

I'll do whatever the community wants to do.

If this vote is truly unfair please come up with a fairer way for this to take place.

Thanks.

All this  vote rigging would make Osama bin Obama Proud!

What a fucking sham

I think a good rule would be least amount of votes wins.

me want quark charm!
such cute charm. very wow stupid
I lol'd at that one....

Really? I wasn't aware that FlipPro isn't "officially" associated with Quark. So the winner's logo won't be the new official logo of Quark? That's disappointing...

Don't worry, the logo contest was started by a Quark fan before Quark was worth much. I believe the dev team has stated they have no intention of changing the logo despite the contest. The person who started the contest is still planning to honor the prize offer

Well thanks Ultimist. Apology accepted. Now if we (everyone) can just get along maybe we could turn this circlejerk of a thread into something positive for Quark in the long run.

I didn't criticize you, I merely pointed out your hypocrisy. I congratulated Boxxl a couple of pages back and I would have gladly congratulated you had it not been for your uncalled for comments over at HackForums when you called me a cheater for having 22 votes. Give me a break and stop the nonsense.
