[...]Just wondering if this message of yours, before the official voting ends, is a (not so) subtle suggestion to change the votes?
Given the slim chances of randomness, I will exclude votes from those who look like copy/paste.
Even if one of them edits their post, the history will remain in the archive, so these votes will still be excluded.
another idea could be, for next year, to motivate the choice in some way
so as to write a little sentence that cannot be the same for everyone, in this way I think it is possible to discourage copy-pasting
in short we have the opportunity to put in place some solutions to contain the problem, in my opinion
Let’s discuss all those ideas after the closing of the contest, babo.
Rules for this editions were clear.
There is space for improvements? Sure, as in every aspect of life, but I think for respect of everyone, contestants, organiser and sponsors of this competition included, it is better to discuss change of rules after winners are announced!
Just my two cents.
