This includes the so-called friend votes.
If I (or any staffer) find out that someone is having friends vote for him/her, then we will strike swiftly with no warning.
Please accept that the idea of this is to have the best entry win - not the one with the most friends online.
Friend votes are frowned upon and seriously damage the idea of a free and mature vote - if something's better than yours, then it probably deserve to win.
Right?
