Congratulations to the winners and I hope you all spend it wisely!

  Well if it is cheating to vote for myself and get 1 new sign-up then I'm guilty. I had no idea it would be like this and I feel I acted accordingly. Seeing that I may have had a chance, I only tried to defend my position. I don't have multiple accounts. Excuse me while I go have a good cry. First time I actually believed in myself, and it was a mistake. Oh well, thanks for the fun contest, and congratulations to the winners'. 

They call me cheating and avoid my vote when i create new account from different pc, im a here from a years and call me cheater. Sad.

This is not about voting for yourselves using your only account.
This is about making multiple accounts and then voting in order to win.

And how would you call making 4 more accounts and voting 5 times in total? All your accounts had the same IP address and thats how I managed to track you down. If you dont see whats wrong with this picture then Im afraid I can not help you.

I sent you a PM for a reason, explaining why you have been disqualified, as I didnt want to name and shame you in public and embarrass you. Ironically you did it to yourself by posting.

Wow,cheating...unreal what some ppl won't do to win Thanks zuga for the wise move and congrats to the winners

Congrats to the winners!

Voting for yourself does not constitute cheating nor did i say it was prohibited to do so in my original post explaining the voting.

It's a damn shame there has to be all this bitterness over a fun contest. It's amazing what some people will say and do for MONEY. What amazes me more is when someone clearly does do wrong they will argue til the end of time trying to defend their wrong.

LCB handled the entire situation with class and dignity not to expose the offenders. Even that wasn't respected as a public display had to be made. The voting process will never take place again on contests. Lesson well learned.

It is unfortunate there was cheating.  I liked the voting method for contests.

Congratulations Medtrans, buckeye and s2000chick on your win!  :-bd

I think that punishing all members for the actions of a few is inappropriate.  The cheaters should have and rightfully so,  been disqualified from this contest as well as future contests where we members vote for the winner.  What was the criteria used with LCB employees voting for the winner?  Just curious?

PS: Since we were only given one vote, I voted for myself!

I beg to differ,

other contestants were not punished, as I have used the 3rd party service random draw - random.org ( image attached in my earlier post ). So the rest of contestants had the equal chance to win one of the 3 prizes.

By misusing the voting system the whole poll concept for this contest was put into jeopardy and under suspicion , therefore I did what had to be done.

What bothers me the most is that we tried to give something back to our members and show our appreciation. This was supposed to be fun contest and what we got was whining by some members and voting abuse.

And let me remind you all that we reserve the right to choose the winners the way we fit ( not that member's feedback is not appreciated ).

If some of you think we have been unfair then I suggest you not to participate in the future contests.

And believe me when I say this won't stop us from running more contests but any kind of abuse won't be tolerated.

Zuga, Where I said that punishing all members for the actions of a few is inappropriate, I was talking about lip's comment about never letting members vote for a winner again, lesson learned.  I agree that you did what had to be done.  And thank you for sharing  the system used to select the winner.  I again, agree that it was a fair way to select a winner under those difficult circumstances, but the tone of your post will make me think twice about rendering my opinion again.

"What bothers me the most is that we tried to give something back to our members and show our appreciation. This was supposed to be fun contest and what we got was whining by some members and voting abuse."  :'( 

This says it all... The whining was annoying enough, the cheating was a sorry shock, the way it was solved was fair... they could have just cancelled the whole thing... no winners... and they could have decided it is not worth the hassle to have them at all, but they haven't... rather they have been as fair and even-handed as possible and resolved the issue...

And now they have to defend their actions?? Is gambling not an adult pastime?  Is this forum not an adult site?  Is there anyone here that does not come looking for help, advice, codes for free money to gamble with, etc.?

... if you are an adult please raise your hand!

Right on kattboots. Said to perfection. Instead of a thank you it is nothing but picking apart and attacking the lcb workers. Would not blame lcb if they don't do another contest again. You guys that run lcb are ace in my book. If you dish out an opinion learn to get a dishing right back. To the rest of you all i can say is your ace too.

Actually there was no "tone" in my post, but stating the facts. Were some whining? Yes. Were some abusing the contest? Yes. And actually we have been getting a "tone" from certain members. I call it as I see it.

Don't like what we are doing here then next time choose not to participate, and problem solved. Those who decide to participate will have their chance to win FREE prizes.

The key word here is FREE and some appreciation in return would be nice. We do not have to organize these contests but we choose to show our appreciation this way.

wow..i just dropped by to check on the winners even though I knew it wasn't me..btw..thanks to who voted for me as I think I seen one..I voted for someone else buttt...to cheat has got to be the lowest of the lows.  I'm shocked but not surprised at the lengths some people will go to win.

When we are fortunate enough to have free contests on any forum, we need to cherish the generosity of the great people who offer these prizes. 

Not sure what you are suggesting here by this comment and because of that i won't even dignify it with an answer. As for the rest of the members i'm sure they know the same rules apply.

I have read and reread the 2 posts that I wrote and I guess "I just don't get it!"

What exactly I did/said to deserve the type of posts that I received for my opinion and request for information about how winners were determined.

Yes, I believe that because of a handful of cheaters and whiners, out of over 35,000 members, we members, will not be able to utilize that voting process again, was like we were being punished. I see now, I should have kept that to myself.

And yes, I was just curious to know how the winners were chosen.  I guess that is just none of my business.

Member feedback is appreciated! 
Sorry, Not where I'm standing.
Where do you stand for that?
On eggshells I"m guessing.............

In my last post I said that the tone of your post will make me think twice about rendering my opinion again.
Let me change that now to; it will be a COLD DAY IN HELL when I will give any feedback to LCB employees.

But, let me just say that if you hoping I'm going somewhere, leaving LCB, don;t hold your breath.

Happy Easter to all,

jade
