ChessPrat, you voted for your own entry.
That's despicable. How could anyone vote for their own entry? What kind of competition is this?

Surely not! I'm only voting because I'm not participating, and I didn't vote (for myself or anyone else) last month when I did enter...
0 points for you! đŸ˜”

Seriously, explain it slowly to Gatecrasher and maybe he'll understand.

Trouble is voting patterns indicate no writers vote and you're left holding a damp squid.

I couldn't care less about who wins or whether the voting is decided by three or four posters. What I don't like is insinuations that I'm a cheat and I didn't vote to not give points to others.

Cheating by not voting is a new one to me.

'RHP General Forum Sandbox Mentality Redux' answers all of the understandably irrate member/poster questions.

For me too.

But apparently not voting is grounds for exclusion in Gatecrasher's mind. Can you take a guess as to why he thinks it's grounds for exclusion?

I can. You can't vote for yourself, and did not want to give 3 others votes against your contribution?

Is that it? What do I win?

I don't see where GC called it cheating... did I miss a post? I wouldn't call it cheating, but would say you should have voted. He's welcome to his opinion about you not voting, that's all it is... an opinion.

My guess... community event spirit and full participation.

You didn't miss a post, but you missed giving it a bit more thought.

Why does he call for the exclusion of non-voters?

It's just his opinion... 3 other sentences would each have one more vote than they got. I don't know if it affects anything, but that's his view.

When I join these competitions, I try my best to vote for what I feel is the best. I don't really agree with GC, but he's welcome to say what he said. If it were said about me, I'd not give a damn.

Question: Why are you so bothered, and why did you take the leap to "Cheating"?

I don't take any leap. He posted that non-voters should be excluded. On what grounds do you think he means if not cheating?
