Is this cheating?

Theres a contest going on here for some headphones right? Well would it be cheating for someone to post on a highly popular forum and ask the members to go "here" and "vote a 5 for me?"

I don't believe the contest is determined by ratings, but instead by the iPodlounge staff. The contest rules are around here somewhere.Lone at 2007-11-15 13:48:49 >

But he didn't ask to vote for it based on how they thought of it, he asked to just vote a 5 on it :o
I didn't enter the contest myself, but I just think that its unfair for everyone else who did enter.

lol tell him that.If they don't go by votes and he still needs to cheat for his votes, then he obviously doesn't deserve to win for bad sportsmanship.

Are you this person or is it someone else? You make it out as if its you, which is why people are trying to get you banned.Mina.

There's really no point. Let them vote as much as they wish. The only people that determine the winner are the co-owners of the site: Dennis and Jeremy... Those votes can be found anywhere in the library, they have no effect on the outcome..-Dan

-Dan Exactly.
I'm the one accused of "cheating." The members voting know that it's not determining the outcome but this kid making the accusations keeps saying that it's going to sway the decision, yadda yadda. The members don't understand why he's trying to create a fuss over here, but hey, people are going to do what they are going to do, right? All in all, a lot of the members really liked my entry and they put their vote on mine if they liked it. Of course, they used their own judgement as we always do and there were a fair number of the other board's members that were voting for all the other micro entries instead. Heck, my top vote (5 stars) went for the screenless one with only buttons. I think it's the most realistic design there. It's an open vote website, so I don't see any problems advertising iPod Lounge's contest. It's a fun idea.
This kid isn't too well liked on our site over there and he's just trying to stir up trouble over here now. There's a big enough debate brewing at the other site about this kid trying to stir things up, so this is all I'm going to bring up over here. He's a big enough of a mess over there, that the last thing we need to do is drag you guys in with it.
Thanks guys!
