"On the other hand, if people are voting out of some sort of spite or to get back at Renderosity for past differences then you should be able to see how posting messages in the forums and rallying everyone to vote for this reason is unfair to the other artists in the running and why they'd want to put a stop to it." I haven't seen any indication that this was happening. Certainly, everyone has the same opportunity to canvass for votes, and people's reasons for voting the way they do are their own business. I think the great unfairness has been perpetrated on the members; once again the PTB have decided that the customers are dangerous half-wits, loose cannons that can't be trusted with the most rivial decisions. And their response thus far has been insulting and disingenuous.
