Hello Dear Jovoto, Jess, Jeroen..
i think the comments on the briefing were very detailed showing exactly what is going on, I did contact Jeroen immediatelly when this strange rating behavior started, (personally i start receiving lots of "loved" ideas notifications -I think around 25 or more- while my ranking was droping very fast..!!) Me too i checked some of the "users" -that in my opinion is just a small group if not Only One person:)- I do have all the emails with the loved ideas.. I think you have a more full idea of what is going on but If I can be of any help Please let me know,
BR

is it just me or is there no picture of the comments from the briefing?
I think this is a big shame, moki and some other user where posting users with the bashed ideas link. This is really a shame. i had a good raiting right before Christmas, and now when I'm back only thing i find is myself on many of those Bashed ideas links same for goforit she dropped as-well from a 9+ rating till time-wise a 7...
i know there is plenty of time left but honestly it kills the fun to see your idea getting bashed while you only receive nice comments... there are clearly some things which need to be changed and not only in the future, I'm talking about the sooner the better.
It is always a hard decision for me now these days to join a public contest, when it is a contest where you have to spend lots of time for it. i would not mind if i only have to submit a picture and a tiny text, but in this contest are many ideas with 20+ slides and that's simply not worth the time you spend - if - the votings are "just" being watched after the contest or a little bit while the contest is running.
in my opinion public contest should be like
- you can vote but your vote has to be activated by a contest guide. -
you may now think it is to much work, but i don't think so if you look at the h2o contest there are about 6,000 votes i think a voting check is about 30 seconds which makes a total of 50h now spread that on single days - cant be that much. max 1h a day for only one guide.
i have to admit that i love this contest, but as some other users said already - it is probably not the best idea to join a public contest.

Hey guys,
A lot of users are on global false at the moment. The ranking changed a lot in the last hours because of that. I will go over the list with usernames that were posted, and also start checking those.
Sorry for the rollercoaster ride over xmas!
Happy new year!
Cheers,
jeroen
