This should help to address some of the issues encountered in our first
outing. For instance, in the final verification process we underwent to
ensure the voting results were fair and accurate, it was discovered that
multiple username votes from the same password in close repetitive intervals
(e.g. 1 min.) had been generated to vote for multiple models in the final
round of the competition. These votes have been determined as not legitimate
and removed from the final total. The problem, of course, is that users might
have seen strange things happening with the ranking on the site while we were
doing this verification, assuming that there was cheating going on.
This has been unfair to the participants who have not cheated and the
participants who thought they were a Grand Prize winner. The goal of this
project above all else is to provide a platform for users around the world to
be able to express themselves and their creativity on a regular and ongoing
basis. To cause confusion about the process or a fear that the cheaters are
winning works directly against that goal. As such, we want these issues to be
squashed as badly as you all.

Good to hear an explanation (finally). However, this still doesn’t explain:
- my son’s entry was disqualified even though he didn’t cheat (and he had enough votes to be one of the 8 winners)
- one person could win four times. I know the rules didn’t anticipate something like this to happen, but I think TLG could have addressed this after the fact by e.g. bundling those four and making three other entries winners as well. I still think it’s odd that this could have happened, regardless of how it happened. I hope you can address this issue in more detail here, especially since two of the four entries moved into winning slots on Monday, after the contest was supposed to have ended.
Thanks,
Mark
