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.

You actually spoke well at Sir fillippone, because the rules for this year's Pizza contest were cleared to the understanding of everybody. So disqualifying some users will seems unfair, when it wasn't stated among the rules. Because the truth of the fact is that, the contest has already been organized, the eligible forum users have casted their votes, so what's left is for the winners to be announced. And if their is a need for change of rules, then that one can be discussed against next year's Bitcoin Pizza contest.

That's my sincere opinion

Regarding the disqualifying of user there was also a rule:

The OP has the discretion to ignore any votes (including abusers, recently awakened account votes, and inactive posters ... but not limited to this).]

I trust icopress to take the best decisions. Even if he will allow the pizza-non pizza to be awarded.

Then, we will discuss next year's rules.

If that's what you meant, then it's actually fine. Maybe I misunderstood you, and I trust Icopress to do a great job too on the selection process of the winners, because moreover, he holds the knife to bisect and dissect the final decision on this.

Another hypothesis.. they are paid votes : The message they get in some private messaging looks like: vote for pizzas < #x #y #z #T #NT > to get the reward! So there is copy-pasting Roll Eyes

Judging from a statistical point of view of the total number of active users been said to be over 745,000 (i.e according to bpip.org), then I actually think it will be insane for any participants of this noble Pizza contest to have thought of paying for a vote, when he/she bearly knew the probability of winning in a forum of over 745,000 active users. Hence, I think the only logical reason that might have resulted to the similar voting pattern as claimed above is exactly what Odohu stated above, regarding people voting simply because they saw a certain user they respect on the forum voting too. While secondly, maybe they saw those pizza to be worth voting for and decided to vote to. Which is literally not against the rules of the contest.
