Send a PM directly to Marty...he might not catch this post IF there's anything that can be done, I'm sure he'll help you.

That sucks. Votes are final, nothing can be done about it now. I'd have to make a new poll, but that would piss off 180 people so we will leave it the way it is. Fren your vote accounts for 1/2% of all the votes, so it's not too bad.

The person this is for will know who I'm addressing here:

What an unsportsman-like thing to do!
To have votes padded by people who have never been to this site except to vote is uncouth...I'm very disappointed

Your photo should be removed from the contest.

I wondered about that Any chance Marty could handle this situation? Last night there were about 4 consistently in the lead with one way in the lead. Now from behind a different one shoots way into the lead. Hmmm.

Wow, that's pretty lame! I think the picture in question should be DQed. JMO

I'm forced to strip out all of the unregistered guest votes. We had someone lobbying for sympathy votes on another forum to gain an edge. The new count will only reflect votes by signed in members. Apologies to those that lost legitimate guest votes. Big thanks to those who've been tracking the voting.

At this point I would love to see which pictures Marty and his administrators would choose. The objective is to produce the finest product. There should be no other considerations.
I voted for four of the photos I enjoyed most. It doesn't matter which one wins...they're all beautiful. What matters is that the winner is chosen in a fair manner.

We pride ourselves here on being fair and friendly...this act was not either one of those things...It's just sad.

PS - No curses on anyone's house!

I voted for 12, one for each month. I'm glad that the deception was uncovered.

Sad, indeed.

I look forward to this year's calendar - all photographs considered and by majority, the ones selected will prove a beautiful display of those people's hard work and effort, photographic passion and extraordinary love of orchids.

Good luck everyone
