March 2015 SOTM Vote- Sponsored by Droppin Hz Car Audio - Enter to win a $350 store credit!!!

throw clear at it

Throw a coat of light stain on it. Wood grain with a finish.

You need 750 posts to sell here, you should need 750 posts to vote in SOTM, you should also need 750 posts to enter.

You should also have to follow up with how you used the product and show the product off in a build log.

Thats not hard to do by any means.

Its not fair for new members or inactive members to enter, possibly run off with the prize and never contribute anything.
Its also not fair for those other members that are in the contest that given month that are active here daily, or the sponsors and vendors offering the prize especially!

This is turning out to be the Bill Kessel and Charger thing all over again.

Sadly the last handful of SOTM have had this same exact issue over and over, and these baby steps we take as an attempt to avoid the problem don't seem to help any.

Finally, a strong proposal to address the issue of non-productive member votes.

tone925,

razon35 has sent you a new personal conversation entitled "Razon35 SOTM".

razon35 said:

hey bro I guess theres a rule about needing to have 20 posts on the smd orums or more on here for the vote to count, can you do me a favor and go on some threads and comment at least 20 times so they don't remove your vote? Thanks bro!

How long do I have. I will as soon as I get to a computer . my phone has no reception. Good luck on the build. Hope to hear it

PLEASE DO NOT REPLY DIRECTLY TO THIS EMAIL!

You can reply to this personal conversation by following the link below:

and even after that, just recently it seems like he is telling people to go make 20 posts so their vote counts...

[audiofanaticz]

So apparently Razon35 blocked me on Facebook for posting that above screen shot calling him out about telling his buddies to make 20 posts on the forums to make their vote count.
Just to make sure, I went on my personal page, and yup blocked..
I mean really, are you trying to hide your cheating methods that badly?

IMO he should be DQ'ed and banned from the forums, he was already caught lying several times saying "he didnt tell people to make 20 posts" and one of the times was by Meade himself.

Lying to kick it is a bannable offense if my memory serves correct, its even worse when your lying to win.

[n8ball2013]

I'm on board.

Shame all the real votes will just be wasted!

I just dont get it, we are the only forum/goup doing anything like this, and doing it on a big time level too.

Why must people continue to lie, cheat, and basically steal to win this, especaially after it was canceled for a few months due to the reason.

Even after it returns people cant follow simple rules.

If its needed to have someone check every persons account to see if they have enough posts before declaring the winner, I will do just that.
