Swaying of contests/votes threads.

There is getting to be a ton of "Sway this Contest please ++K!!" threads and it's starting to get on my nerves. I searched around but there is a cult for it that has literally no members even though it was started a year ago. I just think it might be a good Idea to keep these threads in a cult like this so if you truly want to help others, you can, but if you don't, you don't have the clutter. On the plus side you don't have to have someone bump their thread cause it isn't on the first page due to the fact it won't be as fast paced as NSG.

Opinions?

Here is a link to the cult started by *Azz*

I agree that contest sways are really annoying. The worst part is you never know who won or if they really did win something. That is the problem in online contests, they are never fucking real!

Wondering the same thing, I've seen a few other members with it. Anyway I joined the cult maybe get a sticky for this in site discussion or have a mod sticky it on NSG so more people see and join.

my opinion is that everyone who is a valid member of NS gets to have a vote swayed once.

MAYYYYBEEEE twice-- but it better be good.

I've been waiting seven years to use mine and have yet to do so. I saw this contest last year on Crate & Barrel where couples were competing to win the most votes to get a shopping spree toward their registry.  I thought that I might use my one chance on this coming up here since I'm getting married. I also saw another one where I could have had my condo remodel voted on to win a shopping spree for furniture-- I passed on this too. When I do finally post, I hope people vote.

So hopefully people will not take advantage of NS to the point that people stop voting all together. I really want to use my chance someday. I hope other people view it like this as well, like they get one sway vote card and must choose to use it wisely.

just ignore them if they get to you, or take two seconds to help out the person if you're feeling nice!
