I agree, granted my posts aren't as good as most, but I worked hard on them. I'm so disappointed. I had heard people complaining about the "Circle" of friends voting, and silly me, I thought it was just for the Top 20. Now I see that it includes any arena that uses votes. How nieve I was to believe that when huge prizes were at stake, people would vote on merit, and not on friendships. I don't have any advice on how to resolve the problem. Hopefully there is a solution. Otherwise alot of talented artists who should be rewarded will stop posting, and the cliques will once again win.
