@ChiBitCTy I don't think @sorryfor should be on that list, the pumpkin he submitted for the contest wasn't his it was just some image he downloaded from the internet he didn't carve it himself so I don't think it would be fair for him to be contesting with other users who made theirs themselves.
Looks like he downloaded the first pumpkin image from
herecompare the date while the second has already been reported by @John Abraham
here, my guess is that you missed it.
@OP, candidate can vote ?
I think they should be excluded because not all of them meet the voting requirements, some candidates are still newbies and Jr member and according to the rule only member+ can vote. It'll won't be fair if some candidates able to vote will others are not able to vote.
I don't think you should worry about it. My pumpkin shouldn't be taken as part of a contest, either. Therefore, of course, people are not blind and will make the right choice, especially since, I think, you should not take the contest very seriously, since it was invented for entertainment. But now, seeing the gallery, one can definitely say that very talented people have gathered at our forum.
Thank you, and I'm going to take your advice. You're right this should just be looked at as fun and not taken so seriously and you're also right about all the talented people we have around here!
I will remove sorryfor 's photo as soon as I learn how without messing up the code as I just did a moment ago (and ask no one vote for them), but them being in there isn't going to make a difference. I can't remove them from the poll as it can't be edited, but again, it's not going to make a difference in the end even though as whomever actually did create it did a good job, it's not going to be in the running with so many other more detailed ones that have been created by members here, lets be honest).
Secondly, the rules are the rules and were stated before I even opened this poll up. Unfortunately some wont be able to vote on theirs and others more senior members will. This single vote is not going to make a difference in the end I'm confident of that. Also If I disallow candidates from voting then that means more work for Theymos as well as a published list of who voted for which pumpkin, and I think most of us would prefer this remain anonymous. Next year I'll keep this in mind but I'm not going to change the rules at this point. Again, I'm doing this for fun, everything has been donated, this is free for contestants, and as I said before being my first time, it's not going to be perfect.
