@macky

Welcome mate ?

It is over. 

First off, let me say thank you again to everyone who took the time to carve a pumpkin and enter the competition. We appreciate it very much, there were some great entries. 

We have of course have to thank The Vault, for this awesome package! They have been very generous to give us the things they have, and to send prizes our way so we can run comps like this. Thanks very much George! 

Unfortunately, after some discussion with the admin team, we have decided to call the competition off, and all entries are void. It pains us to have to do this. We run these competitions, for fun, nobody gets paid here, we do this because we love to serve our community. But sometimes, members of the community may not uphold the same principles as others. 

After noticing a strange pattern of members signing up, and an unusually high number of votes on this particular poll, we decided to investigate further. 

It didn't take us long to realise, TwoGram, and Max, had been making fake accounts, specifically to vote for themselves in the competition. 

We have monitored the situation closely and over the last 2 days especially, there has been blatant disregard for the rules, and the code of honour amongst the community. This will not be tolerated. 

Integrity is an important feature we look for in our members, especially with the type of hobby we have. No matter what the circumstances are, signing up fake accounts, to give yourself an unfair advantage over other entrants is not fair play, and it shows a lack of integrity. We trust out members to play fair, and this trust has been abused.

There will be changes to the rules when it comes to polls. Any new members will: 

A: Not be able to vote in a poll that was created before they signed up to the forum

B: Not be able to vote in a poll, until they are a verified members over a certain amount of posts and activity on the site. 

These decisions have been made by the admin team, and have been not made on a whim, we have been in discussion over the right plan of action for a situation like this, and we find that we have no other choice but to ban Twogram, and Max, from the forum. 

Sorry to lose members, but we hold a higher standard here for people in the community. These competitions are always run fairly, so everyone knows there is no foul play. An example needs to be made to show that this sort of behaviour will not be tolerated at Percy's Grow Room. 

Our deepest apologies go to the other members who have had to watch this go on. Do know that it will not happen again, and more restrictions will be put in place to make sure cheaters can not prosper. 

The prizes will be used in more competitions coming soon, and all of the fake accounts that max and 2 gram have created will be deleted.
