Swat Team Leader
People also vote down on people's Avis just so they can win in the arenas. For example one guy might ask all of his friends to vote him 5/5 (and he would probably use his mule accounts to vote him up) and he and all of his friends might go vote everyone down just so they won't win. It happened to me once. I had a decent avi and people voted down. So people on the Internet is pretty dumb to do such a thing. No need to ask your friends to vote you up. Just let people's opinions do the voting.
I strongly agree with this. Winning the avatar contest has become some sort of obsession... The same has happened to me too. I also have a decent avi, and still it gets down-voted. At least people should be honest when they do that!
scream For example: "Cool avi i give you 5".. and later you notice that your avi's rating has dropped considerably.. It doesn't matter if they give me 1 or 2 stars, I respect their opinions, but at least they should be honest if they feel compelled to tell what he/she gave me.
BUT, I'm not generalizing things here. Of course there are some wise people, who want to participate in the arena with pure honor and healthy sense of competition
