Well, from now i think to post only in prize contests, cause comments like this can condition an entry:

I'm here from about a month, suscribed advantage cause i like immediately psc (chopping and people), but things like this makes me loose fun.

I also think that there are problems with voting system, but don't think this is the way to solve them.

All anyone has to do is look at Ksouze , your, and soze 's
vote sections and you condemn yourselves.
I have already talked to you about this.

After claudio winning by cheating yesterday I am done
being nice about it.
The attitude around here is that the person who points out someone else is cheating is the person at fault for not
playing along.
I don't agree with that attitude one little bit.

I always vote for, and trying to use all my votes. for example today i wanted to vote a soze entry bu t i didn't cause you intimidate me to do that.

You have a right to use your votes any way you wish.
there is nothing in the rules against friend voting.
I ...consider it cheating and will say so.
You have nothing to worry about.

i second that, it is cheating. let's damn any person who wins through cheating, especially in prize contests. if we didnt have people like scion to enforce things like this, people could get away with murder.

Scion's a bit nutty, Nifft. Don't worry about him.

Can't let one person get to you.

i already spoke to him about this.
I wanted to leave it at one little coment on his post, hoping to
embarrass him into quitting with this.

He (Claudiokly) has shown before that he is willing to stoop to deception in order to win or gain votes. Shameful. This sort of thing has no place in such an otherwise great and friendly community

.

While I like the idea of pointing out friend voting for everyone to see, I think it's a bit odd to single out this guy.
Yes, maybe he has one or two friends who exchange votes, but nobody gets on Arc and Hellraiser's back for this.
There are people here who engage in this sort of activity on a much greater scale than "nifft". Most of them are old-timers who have many friends on this site.
And watch what happens when someone emerges from the chat room to make an annual submission. All of a sudden, 10 people from the chat room emerge to give their annual vote.


By the way, can someone tell me what specifically cladio is being accused of having done?
The last claudio controversy was, by far, the funniest thing I'd ever witnessed on PSC.

What did I miss?

I must specify that i don't have here vote of my friends, cause i haven't friend of mine here. if you 're talking of friendly vote (i give to you- you give to me) then psc is totally based on this. there are lots of votes casted in this way.

As far as claudio goes... seems like a case of vote whoring to me (I know, I've gotten the PMs). But the thing is, you can only place so much blame on someone who pulls that shit. It's the people who buy into it and give him votes, and tell him he's brilliant for replacing one reptile head with another.

Same thing I did...trying to catch up...
