I entered this contest where everyone is voting.  And when my friends help me vote my score up, I get slapped down back to second place by the first place person. cry

I hate to downvote people to pull my score up.  And I would never ask my friends to do that.  How can anyone be so mean?

Has anyone been stepped on lately?

I don't enter vote for me sweeps, but I know what you are talking about - I think that practice is really hateful!!!  nono


I have a friend going through something similar - she held the lead for a long time and suddenly is being out-voted:

Please vote for my quirky cat story - (you can vote 10 x a day) - ends 6/30/08

If you haven't already, {Any SA'er reading this} please please please sign up and give her sweet kitty 10 votes a day & just maybe we can pull her back into the lead!!!  headbang

 laughing Amyshulk, you are such a good friend!  love

Lilygaze - I signed up and voted all 7s for you! Hope it helps!! I know exactly how you feel (Amyshulk is talking about me). It stinks when you put thought and work into an entry, and someone comes along and cheats you out of a win with an entry that is obviously no effort at all.

Contests where people can down vote you are the worst!!

Don't let it get to you though. Those things have a way of coming back on them triplefold. Maybe not now, but eventually. I have been voting for people in the forum for awhile now, and have seen it happen to so many people, so you are in good company.

Stick to your guns, keep your integrity, and don't let the dirty rotten cheaters get to ya!  headbang

I have had it happen more than once that just when I get so discouraged that I start neglecting my sweeps, I win a couple of things in a row!

Try going through the expiring sweeps and entering stuff the day before or the day that it ends. Particularly blog giveaways and review sites. I have had a number of wins doing that. You might be surprised how the scales of fortune tip in your favor.  sunny

Good luck to you!!  cheers

Voting contests often bring out the worst in people.

My concern on this one is that Ceehive is not listed as a current or expired contest in the SA database.  This is a general comment, not a targeted one:  If you find a contest that is not listed on SA, please share it in the Latest sweep forum.  Kinda not cool to canvas for votes when the SA population didn't get a chance to enter.  Thanks.
