User blog comment:Shadowswimmer77/The Long List for PoTM/@comment-24101790-20150516180747

As some of you have noticed, a user has tried to unfairly petition their story into PotM. Here's our response:

He has been banned for a month.

His story has been deleted.

Frankly at this point, I could give a fart in a windstorm if he returns after his ban runs out after reading this quote in the thread: "Pretty much everything else in that poll is shit." People wonder why PotM has become a joke and popularity contest. I mean seriously, this asshole won and I'm pretty sure he isn't even literate. Jokes aside, this is disappointing.

I never thought I'd have to sit down and say this. Do not try to sock nominate your pasta, do not try to involve outside sources to win regardless of quality. At what point does winning accomplish for you if cheated to get it done? It is pyrrhic. We are not going to tolerate this. We're going to be more vigilant and may have to even enforce stricter rules on PotM as some people feel like it's okay if they try to play dirty.
