I know how NOT to get votes!!!! Become my friend!!! everyone will point to you and say... "oh... that guy is a friend of the guy who points the flaws of England's Sweetheart... let's not vote for him..."

works for sure...

But if you don't post entries you can be my friend! There will be no harm then...

A quick visit - i am in the mountains far from Vancouver.

Some more ways:

1) Tell people you have slept with their mom - even if you HAVEN'T


2) Squirrels or badgers will ultimately cut down on your chances for votes




3) Touching yourself whilst creating a post will be picked up as a "WEIRD VIBE" on your post and you will get few votes





5) where the hell is #4????

Bye Bye again now - nature calls me.

Yay! I'm the first person to vote for 'i'm uncarring about my votes' (not that i dont like them....i just photomanip stuff here for the fun of testing my skills....nothing to get overly worked up about)

Any way... as far as how to not get votes... here are a few ideas....

1) Submit pictures which are so dark/light that they look like a big black or white square with sime hint that MAYBE something is in there and no amount of photoenhancments will ever show what your picture really was

2) Submit pictures which are 2 color gifs for images with tens of thousands of colors used

3) Submit a picture which has absolutly nothing to do with the contest you are submitting it for

4) Blur the image so badly no one will ever identify what it is

5) If you ever slip up and get a lot of votes, brag and boast about it on every forum you possibly can until your name becomes the running joke of what to call people who brag

6) Don't tell people you dont want votes - they may give you votes just out of spite if they believe you (this has happened once at some lil photoshop group i was once in....talk about the ultimate applied reverse psycology...the bugger actually WON because of it!! o.O)

7) Never sign up for photoshopcontest.com in the first place, if you dont sign up, you cant post, if you cant post you cannot get votes.

Make sure your cutouts are painfully bad quality with at least a 50 px extra around the image (and some places parts of the image cut into where it looks horribly bad)

9) Try and sue every one who votes for you on grounds of 'psychological trauma' due to them violating your desire to not have votes.

10) Make horribly un-pc references in your images for no reason at all (ie: work in hitler as a 'good-guy' even if it has nothing to do with the rest of the image at all)

11) Make a highly unpopular political statment (ie: say the president is horrid/great when the majority of the other people feel the opposite)

12) Use a blue on red color scheme in such a way as to blind everyone who looks at the image.

Hmm that should do it for now... =)

mmm one or two tips



make a job that's so clean everyone thinks you cheated

dont try to make "internet friends" that will vote for you like you're their CHE

dont act as a superstar

post tutorials

have a life

make consistent shadows

act like arcaico, showcase or I (clinging to memories of a community with good posters and fun competition)

realize votes mean nothing and start posting crap for fun

anyhow, some "active" posters are so lame most of the good people are gone now, the debate should be over . it doesn't hurt to have a couple remarks by people like arcaico or me, we suck so bad !


after another 6 months break, I return here and see some unknown monthly leaders , same situation and debate as everytime I returned after a break.Different people who'll realize it's meaningless after they led a month.Total wreckage.It's sad to see things turn into such crap, therefore I'm not in anymore, have fun !

(btw, "serious" kicks your ass big times !!!!" ;)

Don't think I saw it but "putting alot of detail into a pic and then submitting it too small for anyone to see it".

ha, check your banner, dragon!

Word @ Ledirlo

What ledirlo and ScionShade said!

This would just seem petty..... and if that would cause someone to STOP voting..... SCREW EM!!!

I know that me and jefflang007 had a little "spat" a while back, but I still vote for his stuff if I like it......

HEYHEY..... ITS REYREY!!!!!

Later!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well..... they do say, "Badgers, we don't need no stinkin BADGERS!!!!!

agreed 200%

Arcaico, Ledirlo and Scion are evil, wicked internet persons. they should be BANDED ....or something.

do not post your photoshop image.

There are no good posters anymore???

Morbid, that's the best suggestion I've heard yet
