I am really disappointed in some of you guys

[Jane Burgess]

I have to get this get this off my chest. I just looked at the OCSM contest and the most active ladies on here have the least amount of votes. I find that very upsetting. So many of you complain that a majority of the OCSM's on here only come around for contests or to spam their sites. Well you have a core group of ladies who don't do that but they don't get the support they need in the contests on this site. I talked to a couple of the ladies and they find it hurtful. You all need to think about is who you want to represent this site as OCSM's of the month. I also didn't post this to upset any of the new OCSM's, I heart you all. I just think it is so sad that the most active OCSM's on here usually get thrown under the bus.

You make a good point but most of the members here especially the ones with a few posts just vote based of the sample photo that gets put up. I think the regular members do vote fairly.

I believe this is true Jane. The Miss FreeOnes contest is a perfect example - regular OCSM's don't get the votes for much the same reason. Regular posters tend to support the OCSM's that frequent the board.

I don't routinely participate in member contest threads, this is just my :2 cents:.

That's why I think no one should be able to vote on here unless you are a member for at least 6 months. That way they get a chance to see who is really active. Voting for anyone based on pictures is plain stupid.

I agree and would vote on a 6 month limitation to prevent new OCSMs from just getting a bunch of new members to sign up for them.

I like this idea. Can you imagine how it would impact Miss FreeOnes results?

 

[Jane Burgess]

I like it too. I think it would make the Miss Freeones contest better. OCSM's are supposed to represent the whole site and the forum is a huge part of this website.

Exactly. I am going to suggest this to Petra and Roald.

Agreed - and you'll notice that most regular members feel this way and they voice their opinions each year when the voting starts and the board is flooded with ladies who are sorry they haven't been around as often as they apparently wanted to be.

Good idea Rocker. :thumbsup:

Your voices have been heard and taken under consideration for Miss FreeOnes.
As stated by Petra in the nomination thread for Nov OCSM:

For the 2012 Miss FreeOnes contest both time spent on the board (as in how long you've been a member) AND your post count will have effect on how much vote weight you'll have for the contest!

So Shifty will have a lot more voting power than randomdude4564 that joined 3 weeks before the contest started.

@Jane: you're totally right about your complaint, and if there is more on your chest you have to get off, I'm your man. No, seriously, I support you. I gave my vote to a regular, someone who comes around very often, and I would never give it to someone who's not on the board now and then to chat or make fun with their fans.

I have nothing against randomdude4564 though, as he's always been very nice to me.

That's because you don't understand his jokes. He's actually making fun of you.

 

[BCT]

Since I have been here I have only voted 3 times and I always voted for the most active OCSM's, I know most of the regulars here have voted for you,Miss Hybrid, and Brianna Lee the majority of the time and all 3 of you have been very active. Just letting you know that I as well as others have done our part at least from what ive seen

I Promise, it wasn't me.

 

[STDiva]

This is old news. Didn't we all complain about this since the first Miss FreeOnes contest?? I coulda swore we did.

Popularity > Contribution.

Jane, I'm sorry but it's somehow embarrassing vote for only one woman.

There are too many beautiful women.

Jane,

I am in complete agreement with you. I think it is abysmal that the regularly contributing OCSMs are not absolutely running away with such contests. Several times I have thought about starting a thread just like this one, but I 1. don't have OCSM under my name, and 2. have boobies. Plus no one listens to a damned thing I say. I think it was good that you started this thread. I hope a lot of people read it and take it to heart.

I also think that a 6 month membership before voting in such threads is more than reasonable. Here is why (please feel free to use any of this when you talk to Petra/Roald, or ignore me entirely):
1. How the hell can you know which OCSM has made a serious contribution over the last month if you're a brand new member with 5 posts? Yes, I know people lurk (wOOt) before they join, and they MAY have seen who is active and who isn't, but the vast majority of new members don't have a clue about the rhythm of the board. Be a 6 month, regularly posting member (maybe 100 post minimum?). Then you get to vote on who is the best OCSM on the board.
2. This limitation would seriously limit the number of accounts started just for the purposes of voting.
3. The regulars on the board genuinely dislike it when the 5 post, noob members are deciding contests of this sort. It motivates us to ignore the contests.
4. Because Jane Burgess said so.

And I could swore I just posted a reply on it...

Strange... must have been drunk again.

And yes, we are aware of this.

And I´ll poke Petra about this if she hasnt already seen it.

You have boobs?
