Low ratings on contests

[Miranda_]

I personally think that all the sections, like contests and Friends, need to be scrapped and redone. It should be up to the contest owner who wins, not random people, anyway; just like the Handdrawn Contest on forums. The problem is that a lot of the people who abuse the system ARE premi; they are also the ones who make a lot of the dirty dolls and use them in chat; standards can't use their own dolls in chat, so it's pretty obvious it's premis breaking rules. I'm still standing by my "all or nothing" idea; either take votes away from everyone, if people can't play nicely, or let everyone vote.

i make my own dolls..... i knew a few of my friends who are not like that we're all not like that. people over the age 13 seem to do that alot... not all of them... one of my friends are 13.. ahh confusing! The owner should decide who to pick to win. It's not fair if people vote for themself... it's the same thing in the fashion shows. People don't follow the rules-- end up winning becuse of there "FABULOUS" doll. I hate it when people make a like twin theme, then people put like just 1 doll!! There should be like moderators in and contests and avatar chat and stuff too! jessica needs help.

If it's ever made to be just the contest owner is allowed to vote, they'll need to make is so that the owner can type the rating. Cause clicking 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 just won't cut it...but like 1-5 with two digit decimals would work.

I don't really think voting is necessary,i think the contest owner should just pick who they think should win.For example,just because an effortless doll got a 4.5 and a gorgeous doll with a lot of effort got a 3 shouldn't affect which dolls win,the contest owner should just choose,which some of them do but with others it is a bit unfair.

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.

There's flaws with every idea; however, this one seems to be the best. There's a time limit on each contest, after all, and one would hope that a contest owner would care about who won their contest... maybe that's asking too much? O.o
