    I think people clearly have minds of their own, if they didnt then how would they choose whether or not to spend 20 seconds of their time voting on the linked site? I understand your point but from what ive noticed lurking round this site is that if a member requests a helping hand at anything then most people are happy to oblige. The way i look at it is this, if you dont want to help out, dont. Its your time, your bandwidth,your precious mouse clicks and you have every right to choose what you want to do.

    Plus it makes us feel all warm and squishy inside when we help out :P
    I understand your point too, but what makes this person deserve any more of a chance than anybody else in that competition, fair enough make the competition known, but at least let people make their own minds up
    :T Hail Kipper, and hail fluffynit for their endless hard work on the competitions board!:T

    Competitive edge ;) No one deserves our votes more than another but at the end of the day if people want to help a friend of a friend then they will!

    voted, but the prize only seems to some t shirts and insurance?

    When i voted last night Neil Penny was 3rd so I am pretty confident that the other photo owners at the top of the chart have got friends work mates etc etc voting for them just because they know them or someone knows them - i see this as the same thing only OP very enterprising:D

    As for your previous post - ok perhaps this could be in another thread however very few people have complained and it hasn't been moved - so i think its just a nice thing to do for someone - they obviously want to win and whats the harm??

    I voted as OP seemed nice and wanted to help and picture had a nice backdrop(might have left it if picture was total rubbish)...we all have free will so no one has to vote if they dont want to. Just move on to another post.
    I also feel that this whole site has a feeling of strong community sometimes so often want to help others .
