Linkin Park Competition is not working..

OK guys I hate to rant openly but I'm gonna have to do it. Firstly I'd like thank AnD for setting up a chance for one of our local bands to get a chance of a lifetime. You guys have done great thing to try and get bands like ours out into the public and have great intentions at heart especially with competitions like these that could really benefit artists..However the Linkin Park competition seems to be a bit flawed..There are people blatantly cheating to get extra votes. Plain and simple.The voting system is not representing artistic integrity or the music itself.It's not even a popularity contest right now. From what I can see this competition is about how desperate band members can get to pester their friends and family to sign up and log in to AnD and cast a vote.It isn't representing the bands right now, it isn't representing our music and it isn't representing any kind of artistic integrity whatsoever.I've just caught myself joining in on desperate and clever ways to gain votes and had to stop myself. There is no way that any other band has 300+ votes in such a short amount of time! If 24 herbs only had 45 votes. Impossible.No offense to Ghost soulja but he's got a spotlight position right now blatantly asking the people that are online to vote for him. How is that a fair spotlight?? Do all 20 bands get an equal amount of spotlight time during this competition? if so I can't wait for us to be on the spotlight too!I refuse to gain votes in this system by simply annoying people on Alive Not Dead to vote for us and virtually hounding people that may not vote otherwise..There is no way this is going to be a fair vote because I feel there is simply not enough active freethinking members on Alive not Dead to vote indescriminantly or fairly.I really don't wanna let me or my band mates waste days of our lives spamming people to get into a top five pick that people seem to be cheating to win anyway.Next time Linkin Park come to Macau or Hong Kong I will just try and ask to send a press pack over as this voting system is just going to show the top 5 spammers and duplicate voters... And these top 5 spammers are gonna push out good bands out of the competition not because they are a good band, but simply because they or their crazed fans are simply resorting to duplicating their own votes! If killersoap and 24 herbs don't make the top 5 then it will have probably proven my point.If it was an honest voting system 24 herbs would have possibly the most votes. Because those guys have worked hard with Alive Not Dead and have the best reputation on this website..2nd would be Killersoap or FBI in my eyes as they work so hard, good stage shows and have good songs.Sorry guys but unless there's a miracle. consider Gong Wu out of the competition as by playing fair it means we will definately not be in the top 5..Good luck to the top 5 desperate spammers of this competition. Because if you're not up to the challenge of facing an arena's worth of people and you win because you're duplicating votes.. Well then you've just wasted an opportunity you don't deserve and only got due to cheating.I am happy to sink with the ship named musical and artistic integrity because I wont allow my band to play that kinda game.I truly hope a good band wins the competition as LP deserve the 5 top bands to choose from. Not a group of people duplicating votes.Good luck!
