The heck it does!!!Trolling for votes is a fact here that has countless members on rosity fed up and many refuse to even participate in the contests because they get ripped off.So what's trolling?Trolling is when people IM or meet people in chat and specifically ask people to go in and vote for their image.In some cases,the absolute worst images win and even many contest sponsors are sickened by the results...some even try to bypass the community vote altogether for this reason. I myself have been approached by people I don't even know who send me the links to their images and ask me to vote for them just because they found my name on a comment and had no concern that I would turn the IM over to rosity admin...because rosity admin won't do anything about it.This is a "HUGE" problem and everyone says there's no need to approach rosity admin about it because their complaints already fell on deaf ears. The only way a community vote even has a chance to succeed is if you require voters to vote rank at least ten images...if one person approaches them to go vote-they then have nine more they have to rank.Even if their friend reaches two dozen people to vote for them,it only takes a few that don't to turn the odds against them if they don't vote for the trollers image at all. Sorry I seem so angry,but a friend reminded me of the Halloween contest on here and I made the mistake of trying to tell her to rest assured I wouldn't vote for her just because she asked...she never intended me too-but,I've had a few people who thought I had voted for them just because I knew them and am now on the defensive as real friends get angry if they think you assume they were trolling. But the rosity community vote is a farce...I think many people here would agree!!!!
