I am only doing this to get it off of my chest!!!!! I really needed help with a contest and only two fellow sweepers even sent me a comment. I thought I had found a cool place to hang out while sweeping but I guess I was wrong. GRipe GRipe GRipe VEnt VEnt VEnt....I feel better but I think I am finished with the fo :scratch:rums. good luck to you all. :scratch: :scratch:
 
Usually, when one votes for one member, they vote for them all. It's time-consuming, and many don't have the time for it.

Also, not everyone will leave a comment saying that they voted.

I have long since stopped asking for votes. Anywhere you go, it becomes a popularity contest; and, many times, the best entry doesn't stand a chance of winning.

One thing you will find no matter what site you use, there are members who will have their own personal reasons for not voting for someone--not familiar with them, don't like them, etc.

Plus, not many members frequent the referral thread.
 
When I vote I rarely post that I have. We do have a group of people who are very diligent about voting for others. We may not have the numbers that some other forums have but our members do the best they can and really try to help others out.

ETA~ Since a lot of members never make into the vote section maybe you should put a link to your entry in your siggy. That way when you post people who never go into that section will see it and maybe take the time to vote for you.
 
I'm sorry...I did not mean for it to sound ugly. I just got my felings hurt. I did not mean to oenter a voting contest, really. I did not know that if we were chosen as finalists...it would mean asking people to vote. I did get a lot of help from gorgor...whoever that is. I did not know how to post a link and my fellow sweeper did it for me. So...I do want to post a big thank you to that person and to all of you that try to help. I just ended up here because I was frustrated.....sometimes letting off some steam helps!!!! We, like most everyone these days really need that trip! :sunny: :sunny: :sunny: :sunny:
 
Its ok :love: You didnt sound ugly, just frustrated. voting contest will do that do you. :laughing: letting off steam is what the gripe forum is for.
 
Yep, voting contests are the worst . I'd rather have a bone marrow biopsy than enter one. Some folks are very sucessful with them, however.
 
I'm all for them doing away with them and just have the sponsor judge and choose the entry.

You can't compete with those who can rally up 100's of votes each day, especially when they get a banner on the homepage of website rallying their members together to vote. Most of these entries compared to others don't deserve the prize.

It's sad to see those more deserving lose out time and time again just because they don't know or have enough people to votes for them.

Sugarloot doesn't even follow their own rules of choosing from the top entries. They just keep giving the prize to the one in first place.
 
:sunny: I am happy to answer any questions from members, but when they have already received a correct answer/reply I just move on.
As busy as things have been around here, I figure it's more important to get the vote in than to comment on it.

I agree and that's why I don't vote.
 
I vote allot for people and try to vote for them all and did vote for you also, but I never ever post anymore when I vote ,because for awhile when I was posting I was getting so many people asking me to vote, no time for entering sweeps, so maybe you got allot more help then you know. but you really don't sound ugly. I hate voting contest because always end up feelings hurt, so don't go there. anyway be glad to help with questions or anything i can, but fair warning i not good at techy stuff at all, hang in there and you will find you have allot of friends, just don't know them all yet. :wave:
 
I do vote a lot for people still but don't post a lot mainly because of time and the mod duties also.Plus that makes my sweeping time cut also and when there are many people in the same contest there are some that get mad because they don't see a post on there thread. And believe me I see threads :laughing: .
 
Again....sorry about the gripe fest!!!! I will try to stay away from voting contests in the future. I really do understand about voting and posting and time. Honestly, I vote for people here and don't always post comments either. I guess I just got a little crazy!?!?!? Thanks for the help and the virtual shoulders!!!!!! Happy Sweeping!!! :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:
 
It took me awhile to find your thread - I'm voting - I like these kinds - I don't have to sign up for an account/try to decipher one of those alpha - numerical codes!!! :crazytongue:

Hello everyone! I really need your help! My husband and I were chosen as finalists in a local Valentine's Day story contest. There are 8 finalists and the winner wins a trip to Florida!!!! The winners are chosen by voting. I am terrible at this computer thing...so I still have not figured out how to add a link to the site. I have to work this afternoon, but I will try to figure that out when I get back home. For now.....The wesite is WBIR.com. The contest link is on the right side of the page. Just click on it and the finalists come up. WE are Number 4...two flowers. (The Dyers). It is very easy to vote...you don't have to register or anything. Thank you so much for your help. You guys are the best! Oh...I don't know if this is a one time vote or a daily but I will let you know when I find out! :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

Seriously...Red is being serious here. In fact, she's probably had a bone marrow biopsy at some point in her life. :laughing:
