I feel like just shutting down the battle. The accusations and disgruntled \*\*\* -wipes are just rolling in. Check the post if you dont believe me. I may ban Rajvashi…straight to perm ban no temp.

I actually think it’s a good idea to dump the battle… or atleast contact gizmodo and make him withdraw the prize, I’m positive all the f\*ckers will dissapear then 🙂
think about how ugly this battle will be further along :-/
I just don’t think it’s worth it…

it also came to my attention that it is rumored that some have signed up 2x in hopes they can get 2 entries. K could you check the IP’s on the entrants? Or can mods do that too?
Eilsoe
I agree that the prize should be removed.

I replied and hopefully that may settle things down for a bit. Abandoning the contest now is like giving in to those who want to see this contest fail in the first place. Let’s fight it through - we can handle a few flies such as raj who feel that this forum owes him more than what he has earned…or not earned 🙂
EDIT: DDD - I think you can search for IP addresses of the suspected individuals through your Admin CP.

This is exactly why I decided not to participate. Though I really want that MP3 player, I don’t feel like dealing with everyone for a contest i’m most likely going to lose anyway 😛
People get way too competitive over such trivial things. It’s kind of sad. This contest should be fun!
