Voting
- politicians have a big problem getting any of us to vote once every
4-5 years, whilst here, we have everyone wanting to vote numerous
times, and some more than others! These awards are all about bigging up
and rewarding the best and most popular people within our South West
scene, however, some people in the past have tried to influence the
result... So, for the sake of everyone, please only vote once. Multiple
votes from the same person are pretty easy to spot and they won't be
counted. Simple. We want these awards to be a true reflection of the
scene, so if your out to cheat and fix the awards, we don't want you
involved in any way. And if we spot anyone doing it, we won't hesitate
to name and shame them across the whole scene... Campaigning and
encouraging people to vote for you is fine, we've enough made a voting
kit for you this time, but massive spamming across the internet and
placing false votes using random names isn't cool in any way, so
please, save your efforts on that one and just go and encourage your
friends, family, associates and anyone who knows you to vote for you
instead. Simple. Sorry to go on about it, but we feel it's important to
highlight this.
