I would totally agree with that notion, but I've had bad experiences with lazy contest owners before, lol. I entered a sorry note to a contest owner cause they didn't leave a name to contact and they entered it in the actual contest! I was so mad, and mortified because of the letter context...but anyways. I do averaged rating if I suspect cheating. I let people vote for their dolls, then when the contest ends I add my rating then divide by two. That way my fair rating out rules most cheater's ratings. That and it also discourages cheaters to try the contest or to make themselves win.
