Please vote! - About the Poll - Voting issues

Journal Entry: Tue May 17, 2011, 4:25 AM
For those who are new on the group or for who's feeling a little confuse about the voting process, please read the following explanation:






I know how frustrating can be when we enter a contest and we know we have no chance to win because of the voting. For a contest we can choose some ways for people to vote. The best way (and for me the fairest) is when only the participants can vote - all people who have participated have to vote, not for themselves, and no one outside the contest can vote...

Now, you see, this isn't a contest - this is a way to get exposure. If this was a contest I could never put to vote photography, traditional art and digital art together.

The main word in this group is EXPOSE, all means are good to show your art - you have to see these polls as a way to show your work - this is a mean and the true objective isn't to win a sub but to get your work recognized. Winning the sub is like a present, is what someone will get after this exposure game.

I know that who is better known among the deviants will be favoured but I can't really do nothing about it.
In this case, people who ask for votes are bringing people to see all the members' works. In the end, this is what I intend.

So you may ask your watchers to vote, you may write news articles, you may ask for support by all means, even to other groups...

Yes, dear members, please play along.
I know you may feel uncomfortable, but this is just a game. All opinions are welcome and you have a blog at your disposal here. Those who don't have a sub can use this blog for your benefit. I hope you can understand my idea. In my point of view, I can see you all as winners and my main objective is to promote you and expose your art. All the help is welcome. If you feel I'm doing wrong, please say so and help me doing this right.

Thank you so much for your attention :hug:

Another thing: I really appreciate the efforts of some members to expose the group. Please take a look to the list "Will you feature us?" [link] and read some journals - and maybe you'll be motivated to do the same. It doesn't hurt, it's easy and you'll feel very happy, you'll see :)

It's a great idea, and different. And it's your group and you should do as you wish. You have been very honest with what you want and I don't think anyone should complain :tighthug:
