Very Very nice picture Niko!

Thanks man :)

It was a lucky shot I guess, my camera pretty much sucks.


Congratulations Cotterik for winning last weeks competition

Rik, care to explain why you have 2 votes from members with no posts at all? One of which registered the exact day that the poll was closing??

You won only by 1 vote, so I guess that you will understand me questioning the whole thing.

On the other comps you have a bunch of votes by guys with 0 posts too, they all registered the SAME day.

Ownage. Check the IP's.

[6'bore]

You guys sure know how to take a good photo!!! :D

[Niko_Fx]

Ownage. Check the IP's.

Unfortunately I can't check IP's of people who have never posted (Maybe Wouter as an Admin can)... That's why I once long ago said that votes from people with 0 posts do NOT count as members could be cheating...

It's pretty obvious what's going on, but I'll let Rik explain.

[Matra et Alpine]

So is someone going to come up with a rule that bans car-related images from THIS comp :angry:

[Niko_Fx]

I have to check all the voting threads, but as far as I can see Cotterik has won about only 1-2 of them fairly (Not 4 of them)

It's not really fair to those who participate.

Rules are pretty clear:

As stated, you can try to explain those accounts... Waiting for your reply.

[my porsche]

what did he do thats now tfari? i havent been following it

[Matra et Alpine]

Ownage. Check the IP's.
Checked. Thre is overlap :( Got some explaining ????

[Speedracer38]

owned....all the winnings he got from these ppl with 0 posts should go to the person that came in 2nd place.

[Cotterik]

woa woa are u sure they match my IP? I dont see how thats possible. Wait there a minute.

[Cotterik]

ok this is kinda embarrasing. I can confirm "BikerBoy" and "GT4 Crazy" are family members :( I told my dad and my sister i was entering a photo competition on this website with photos i took when we were on holiday. I had no idea that they had voted for me. I dont know who the other guy is. Sorry about that guys, by all means delete their votes and obviously hand over winnings to whoever deserves it. I'll make sure this doesnt happen again.

You all know how I love photography and love to share talent with other photographers in the community. I would'nt cheat to win over the other lads around here thats just not me. Man this is embarrasing.

[Spastik_Roach]

I believe him. Just take away the wins from him and give them to the deserving people.

[Niko_Fx]

Comp 2 - Did win Cotterik
Comp 3 - Titanboy 24
Comp 4 - 1 vote from unknown member, Cotterik still wins though.
Comp 6 - Tie: SPH Ferrari and CheeseTacular, someone do a run-off thread.

[Cotterik]

ok now thats sorted out. Get those photos in before wednesday everyone. I'll make a run-off thread now.

[whiteballz]

i stand by rik.
