First off, sorry for the late thread posting. I'm sure many of you that celebrate Christmas were also busy this week, so hopefully you'll understand. Second, Thanks for everyone that voted for my picture. This was the second week in a row that I had the most votes and although it doesn't mean I'm going to be displayed in a gallery, as a hobbyist who only started shooting seriously in Jan of 2012 I appreciate any award, especially from people who enjoy the same or similar equipment as mine. Okay, that was a lengthy intro so let's get this going!

Continuing what AEPA started, let's get going on the eleventh POTW.

Just wondering what is your opinion is on people who create fake accounts and vote for themselves? Would you say they are talentless despicable cretins riddled with insecurity issues? Or would you say they are desperate morons happy to delude themselves in a lie whilst everyone else laughs at their miserable plight? I say cheaters are no better than maggots.

Honestly, I never even thought about that. If someone is willing to go through the trouble of creating fake accounts just to win a contest that is supposed to be purely for fun, then they are missing the point.

I'm not really sure why you asked me this question, but it sure does feel like an indirect accusation.

My sister-in-law's new pup. Lots of PPing, been learning LR. I do love that 18.5/1.8.
 
I have reported this to DpReview and will be keeping a close eye on this and future threads for anything remotely suspicious. If their findings become public I will have no hesitation in expressing this within and outside this thread, much to the cheaters ridicule and humiliation. If you can't take good photo's that's fine, just don't rob people who have made some effort to.
