This competition is terribly flawed. With a quick VPN shuffle I could up upvote any of these to #1. I think anyone who didn’t make the model specifically for this Comp should pull out.

Wow. Did not know about that. That will definitely lead to malicious intents. Maybe a better way to pick a winner is to go by the number of downloads a model has. That may works great as it will be newly uploaded models without preexisting downloads and a more definite way of showing popularity. This upvote voting system is horrible. It can definitley be gamed. Hope someone can bring this to the attention of the contest holder or some 3d hubs admin.

Switching ip, proxy, doesn’t let you vote more. It’s 1 up vote per 3dhubs account. One needs to log into their account to vote. Meaning if someone wanted to do say 20 votes, they would need 20 email addresses and sign up for 20 new 3D hubs accounts. That I’m sure would be noticeable and flagged by the contest holders.

Yeah, it’s disgustingly easy to rig, I could do about 80 entries per hour if I was bothered. I feel like doing it tho just to show 3D hubs why you don’t run a comp on this fashion. I doubt flowalitisk cheated tho, as he said he asked friends to come vote for him, nothing stopping the others doing that also.

personally, I think the first prize should reflect the effort given too. Motorised AT-AT gets my vote.

Of course you can lol.,

Even if you wanted to do it manually. 1. Create email, create hubs account, 2. Change VPN zone.

3. Repeat.
