Voting for Signature contest is really bad. You can see that everyone look just on the first page, maybe on the second one too (there are lots of reputation points) and when they find that there are 22 sites, they go away. So players at last sites have just really small chance to win.

Unfair contest ! :Smile_amazed:

I think we need to get more positive votes just for that contest. I found like 20 signatures I liked, but can't vote them all. Well, at least I went from last page to first..

Since people are 2 lazy, only the first and last 2 pages will get checked, while the rest of us in the mid will get nothing (not that mine is awesome, but there are plenty of good ones in that area).

Oh well...

So to vote one need to browse 22 pages in one thread and add a +1 to the author of the signature ??

This "voting"-system is crap metal. Why not starting a poll with all instances of signature-posts. One for img-only and one for animated, like it's on american server.

WG, do I even deserve an answer?

I put some time in making this signature and now I don't even know why it wasn't accepted for voting. Very disappointed.

Just check the amount of negative votes for the first post. Imagine the situation where that guy reaches most positive votes but lost because all those positive votes were smashed by the amount of negative votes given. Feels like unfair-luck-thread post positioning based vote system ;)

i thought we had to create our own pictures but all i see are lots of people pasting a couple of images together than getting their friends to vote for them, really dissapointing..

The dev team should vote not users...It's pointless because of devoting possibility.  And hey there will be always many who don't care rules...
There are a few 5min-work banners which are in the top by voting points. So you can have trashy banner but many mates who just will vote for you, and you will be the best. Cool formula :)

Well I don't have to bother about negative reputation, because nobody will see my banner :ph34r:

I sent a PM to Overlord once, 2 PMs to Supercharge and had 0 replies... everything is nice and dandy when WG needs some "sheep" to vote for some "prestigious" award.

But when those "sheep" ask some random questions after the votes have been nicely gathered - they don't even deserve an answer.
