09.09.08 | Idol Voting Tips and Warning About Cheating

Posted in Scholarship Contests by Kristin Ferguson

As the votes start streaming in for the 2008 Scholarship Idol I wanted to give some encouragement to all entrants and lay the smack down on cheaters, not that there are any but there always seems to be soembody who tries to trick the system and yes we’ve pulled scholarships from winners a a couple of time already for cheating.

For Finalists

If you are a finalist and need votes you can impact this. Only members can vote but your friends should all be members anyway so get them to join and vote for you! They might win a scholarship of their own as well.

Also don’t get down if you aren’t doing so well in the voting yet, there’s plenty of time and things can change overnight.

About Cheating

Remember each vote must be entered by a valid ScholarshipPoints member. We will verify each entry to make sure the name, email and school matches our databse records for members. If there is a question we may contact the voting member to verify. If it becomes apparent that there is some tom foolery, shady business or other shennagians with a video entry votes we reserve the right to toss that entry out of the competition!

You’ve worked hard to get this far and you’re all smart kids, just don;t try to oursmart Point Guard and Professor or Professor will be on you like a spider monkey.

    Adrian no problem, that's exactly what we want people to do. What we don't want people to do is vote a hundred times with made up email addresses or any other variation of ballot stuffing.

    Professor Plastic may be small but he delivers one heck of a shin kick if he finds a cheater!

    So everyone who made top ten will get a Video camera? i saw in the official rules that we need to verify to you of our top ten to recieve the video camera. If you win the $1000 do you still get the camera?

    I really am getting alot of people to register, and im sure this contest is becoming more and more successful for bringing in new members !!

    We originally stated the runners-up would get the cameras. We'll see about what the winner gets besides the $1,000 Scholarship.

    There are other opportunities. The people who do a great job recruiting may also have a special opportunity to do more with us to help grow the site in return for some nice things. Keep up the hard work. It is appreciated.

    Man, it's so hard to convince people though to join, PG. I don't know what else to do. :/

    But I wish Adrian the best of luck.

    It looks like you got this in the bag, kid.
