"Ms. Chailynne, I don't recall anywhere on this forum seeing anyone that runs this place stating or even "hinting" that they dislike any of the artists up for AOY." I guess this knowledge comes from not being new here and "living" through the uproar caused when Legume won AOM to begin with... which promptly made the admin change how canidates for AOM were picked. Meaning the artists no longer got to choose who was nominated, because the admins didn't want someone else like Legume to ever win AOM again. I think it was wrong of them to pull the poll no matter who was winning/losing whatever. It comes from watching the admin change rules in the middle of contests. It comes from other incidents that have happened which I won't mention since someone was already banned for bringing it up. If it was in fact decided a year ago that only admins and mods were going to be voting for AOY, it should have been stated publicly at that time instead of stating it after voting this year went live and then saying it was a mistake. A mistake? Yeah right... Cut them slack, nope, not when they screw up time and time again.
