I do not want to take anything away from any finalist, but is it fair that a person has 60 comments, and had two low 1 ratings because of people who dislike them, and then you have someone who gets three comments and no haters, and may be chosen because their score would be higher.
Randy makes a good point too.
Most contests would do something to make up for the dramatic difference and the hate raters....
For the life of me I couldn't think of a vacation to write about until yesterday when my daughter reminded me of a specific one. Oh well, maybe next time.

As we do for all competitions, Gather applied various screening processes that enabled us to detect voting fraud and other scoring irregularities. We ran these processes periodically throughout the competition and again at the end of the voting period, across all participating entries. The scores that are currently shown on Gather do not reflect the full impact of our fraud control system as we apply specific steps after the close of the
competition.
