See, it wont work with my memory alone, I messed up the sizes. So my apologies to Loki, the winning pic does meet the sizes as stated in the rules, I previously stated his was not according to rules, this is not true. My bad. I may need to check mine, am not sure what the size exactly is but not sure if I can be bothered as this whole socalled contest has left a bad taste in my mouth. Caity if the photo is the same size as on FB it was not the size but date taken that decided the exclusion. The FB photo is 344x500 Really..I never read it as such, that the actual photo had to be shot in a specific timeframe. LOL. I read it as : take a pic (as in..take it from a folder or make it..!!). Hahahahah! Oh my...and: oh well. I still do not know if that is the reason btw...it is still only guessing and I find it tiresome. Agreed Caity... it would be so easy for them to send at the very least a reason to you and Bella why your photos were removed. But I still want my kudo credit..lol

Happy Thanksgiving Melita<333

thanks! Seems like these are the seminal rules: How to Enter:Between the hours of 12:00 p.m. Pacific on October 15, 2012 and 11:59 p.m. Pacific, October 31, 2012 take a picture that fits the contest theme. Upload your image in jpeg or png format to the contest. Images must be free of text and logo, and no larger than 500x500 pixels in size Images should be unaltered by any external photo editing tool except for sizing the image. Caity has said her photo was larger and I believe Bella took her photo before the contest started.. still they should have been told before voting started so that our kudos were not disallowed. I want my kudo credit

Every time while I have it ticked, my while my avatar or any other object is facing position where sun actually is, everything seems to be burned out with too high contrast. It's just abnormal and I really dislike what it looks like. I'm posting screenshot so everybody can see what I'm talking about. Once I'm facing other direction, everything seems normal. I'm running Ati HD7750 with catalsy 12.11 beta drivers. Downgrading drivers didn't change anything at all for me. Any ideas how to solve it? I will be really thankful and appreciate any ideas to try out! eek... Ultra setting on graphics too? Any chance your environmental editor is not default setting? I leave off atmospheric shaders and only use a medium setting and my photos look something like this.....

Linden Lab wrote: Hello all, Just a note that potential winning entries are reviewed and winners are determined based on adherence to the guidelines and rules of the contest. Thank you! Will you please re-post the rules or leave them there for the entire contest beginning through end? I know that most of the shots are NOT 512x512 and Caity one resident = one account and no mention of IP addresses or alts. My hubby, my sis and I all post from the same house but we are not alts of each other and we all have valid email addresses that are unique. Perhaps the rules should be the same for each contest and posted on the wiki with only the names and dates changed. We run a monthly Mer Photo contest with prize money the same as this and our rules are always the same. I invite any and all to join our contest that is judged by a panel of judges who are involved in the Mer community, fashion community and LEA. Oh and ours is not a voting contest nor does anyone have to pay to join. Nothing "fishy" about it except the models;-)

My assumption was that the top contenders were removed for accusations of alt voting, how they could prove that I have no idea. A little speculative thinking, is there no way to track alts via IP?. I am aware of the old "red zone" fiasco and a guy I know claims to have a way to track alts that has nothing to do with a viewer. Surely the forums could track alts with just a little effort? Also the prize money, while a lot inworld, is hardly spectacular in RL terms, I spend more a week on my hair. If people are indeed 'cheating' to win with things like proxy servers then those people are quite pathetic, but I hope not. (both my entry and the vote it got are still there) ETA BTW lovely picture CiaoBella Leia36 wrote: Charolotte Caxton wrote: I don't think the contests are based on quality, but rather on popularity.

It had to be something else that was indeed in the rules.. whatever they were. Could the rules please stay posted, is that too much trouble or does someone need Lithium Training? Seriously this is not about money this is about accountability.

I will certainly not be entering any more of these since there appears to be a lot of strange stuff happening. We would like some transparency please.

LovelY!!

Before too long creators will be making full mesh avatars with big boobies and skins to apply .. matching color prims to standard avatar skins is always tough.. since the introduction of petite avatars I imagine the other various avatar types will be soon to follow;-)

So I am asking you to reveal that you are using an ALT in order to receive my tips. NOT asking you to reveal personal info about your life. Personal info has nothing to do with it. Making an ALT giving it a RL and a fake photo and making it your partner and begging me to tip "her" is not acceptable to me. That is terrible you got burned that way. No I definately feel that ALTS can serve a purpose in SL and no one has a right to your personal info in SL. EVER. And to out someone or destroy a business or do hurtful things to others is definately NOT acceptable to me." ok, well I guess you've changed your mind during the course of the thread then, because in the beginning you said you were sitting on someone's Real Life info. The fact that you even went after that, in the first place, is questionable. Ultimately, I did not get burned, learned a valuable lesson. There is a paranoid person lurking around each corner, revved up and ready to make some false claims. Yes, I have evolved and that is the power of a good give and take discussion. Also having the chance to clarify just what the issue is in the first place. That is a product of restating and re evaluating. I did not have to go after the info It was obtained over knowing the person for several years with RL contact,. becoming disillusioned with what I saw as his shady business practices and then discovering that he is still at it, scamming others. I do see in the original post that my rhetorical question about posting in YOUR profile was not clear. I never intended to post his personal info in MY profile and this is really more info than I ever intended to give out at all. But it is only offered as a hope for change as far as ALTS, real money, and shady business practices go. Bolded is mine. This appears to be the heart of the matter. This one person has caused you pain ... I personally can't paint all the alts in sl with the same brush. You need to come to terms with this person and then you will be able to move on. Good luck :matte-motes-grin:

Alazarin Mondrian wrote: Having and using alts is not against the TOS. If that were the case I would not even be able to reply to this thread. The first misconception is that people who use alts are underhand, deceptive, evil, cheaters or whatever. The fact is that you will have people who have such negative traits and will resort to them whether or not they have multiple accounts. Multiple accounts can, and are, used for a wide range of perfectly valid reasons. One person's "Onoz U haz t3h eb1l alt of dewm" is another person's alternate account to possibly try out role play in a different themed environment, or a funds-holding account, part of an artistic project or an avatar that is used for content creation or whatever. The fact that people tend to presume the worst is more an indication of how they would use alternate accounts rather than how alternate accounts are actually used by the majority of alternate account holders. I'm an entertainer / performer live musician in SL and I use alts as part of my performance act. I have had to deal with people demanding that I only perform with my main account as well as people demanding that I only peform with a mini-me realo human avatar and countless other pissant whiny drama whores with their idiotic demands. Guess what? I told them all to take a hike. I don't need their business. I have my own venue where I put on live music performances 3 times a week every week. Something I've done for years and will continue to do for years to come until Second Life closes shop. Everyone's welcome but anyone who takes exception to my live act earns themselves an instant ban, eject & teleport home. I don't even waste my time attempting to discuss their imaginary grievances with them. Life's too short to waste on things like that. This!!
