Sounds rigged to me. Just look at best rebuildable.
I own each of the top 3. And in my opinion the voters got it right and in the correct order. I loved the Drop dead. It was perfect for me. Then wotofo said. “That’s not a vape
This is a vape.” And despite the bias I had against wotofo, I recognized the smile it brought to my face.
Lol. You must have never used the profile
Not rigged just b.s in a way but money speaks louder.
Rigged? I’ve been doing this since 2011, and there’s nothing rigged about it. Everyone knows this, smartone.
I have screenshots of you admitting to manipulation, are you sure you wanna play this?
Your comment is funny. What are you talking about? The only person I said was “allowing” users to manipulate the polls and not discourage them from doing so was Vic. I cannot remove Vic from the polls since he himself did do this. My complaint about was was that he wasn’t doing anything to ‘discourage’ the users from doing it. Do not come on my website and try to threaten me with nonsense. If I want to shut you up, I simply won’t approve your comments and blacklist your IP from the site. I don’t have time for your childishness today buddy.
Blake , if that was the case that “People” weren’t allowed in the “Best Of” category , why was Zophie Vapes never removed from the list and yes I’ve checked on multiple occasions at the time when you removed Vic and others ? ? ?
Maybe because that person didn’t have enough votes to make a difference?
How can we manipulate the polls genuinely interested.
By voting multiple times, as you’ve admitted to doing already in a comment you’ve made that I have yet to approve. One vote per IP/household. The polls do not naturally ‘allow’ you to vote more than once. Vic hasn’t been punished on the polls at all for anything. In fact, he remains on the polls. The reason why ‘people’ and Vic were removed from the Best of 2018 category specifically because that specific poll wasn’t intended for ‘people’. It isn’t just him, no one ‘person’ will win the Best of 2018.
Thanks for all your hard work and dedication Blake.
Happy Holidays
Thank you for participating.
Is there any way to consolidate items? Squid Industries and the misspelled “Squid Industry” are the same company. votes may get split between the two
Yep, I consolidate entries each year. Just takes me a bit to calm through everything.
great!
Think you need to check your shit ie ‘ronnie cash child porn’ is not acceptable!!!!!!!!!!
No need, you did it for me. Thanks for the heads up.
Im finding it hard to believe the results. I mean how do u win a best blog if u dont have one
Had an issue with the salt nic catagory. I put in a named vote for Bee Salty and when I submitted my answers it counted my vote for Get Salty.
I will take care of it. Thank you for participating in this year’s Best of 2018.
How does the jenna get 2nd place in best rebuildable of 2018 when it hasn’t even been released… give me a break. How can you possibly take this seriously?
Really wish people would do this to heart. Because it helps customers in the long run. Just saying
Thanks Blake, much appreciated. Love what you’ve done. Merry And Happy New year to you!
In the “rebuildable” section, how is the Rebirth listed under more than one name. It’s listed under Rebirth and Hellvape Rebirth. If you add the votes up the Rebirth should be higher up on the list.
I go in and consolidate the votes. I do this periodically. If I edited the polls every time there was a mistake, I’d be here 24/7.
You might want to check the “Best of 2018” top category, the votes for Vaping With Vic are split between Vaping With Vic and Vape With Vic.
Hi,
You are unable to vote with Facebook/ Twitter etc as it errors?
I have noticed. You can type in an email and are still able to vote. It doesn’t require that you login via social account.
Vaping with Vic doesn’t even have a blog or forum but cronies from his facebook group have voted him into the top 5.
Main site and blog is http://www.vapingwithvic.co.uk which also has a PHPBB forum.
Yet you aren’t discouraging followers from manipulating the polls. You have members posting that they are voting multiple times and you’re completely fine with it. That is something that isn’t tolerated.
Yeah, I’ve spotted a few (and it’s literally a few) in the group who said they voted multiple times. I have posted the link in multiple social media places, its the Christmas holidays and I can’t keep an eye on all of the social media feeds. To say I am “completely fine” with poll manipulation suggests that I am organising the manipulation?
Not at all suggesting that you’re organizing anything, but to know it’s going on and not try to discourage it is a problem. I’ll release a post today to give better insight.
Thanks for the time and effort you have put into this Blake.
How often does it update I voted as have all my employees for the profile as best Rda’s and it doesn’t show my vote ? Texas native !!!! Congratulations #Mrjustright !!!!!!
Hello Blake. I noticed the Rebirth rda has 3 spots in Rebuildables
Updating the polls tonight.
All categories are personally subjective, but I would have to say that this is mostly a popularity vote when some “You Tubers” and I won’t mention names, are campaigning for votes via email.
i just recently found Hit that juice, Boston Cream and it changed my life. Lol. That stuff is amazing i wish I would have found it sooner.
thanks for giving me a chance to vote, im a nobody in the vape community but do appreciate the chance to get my opinion out.
Poor form removing vaping
with vic
Where did Vaping with Vic go?
how come you removed all the vaping with vic votes I and many of my friends voted only once Vic as best you tube reviewer only to have our votes ignored if you knew people had voted more than once just remove the duplicate votes
Vaping with Vic is currently at the #1 spot for Best YouTube Channel.
Well you certainly know how to undermine your own credibility by selectively removing nominees from individual categories.
The only entries that have been removed are ones that do not fit into specific categories. Credibility remains. I’m sorry that you do not like that your favorite reviewer was removed from the mod category, etc. That isn’t how this poll works, buddy.
Best of 2018 doesn’t exclude anything in the description. You’ve thrown out youtubers but kept vendors. Doesn’t make sense. Vendors have their own categories too.
It’s the same way every year.
Thank you for allowing the consumers & community a place to say what they feel is the best of 2018 I hope everybody vote pure honest !!!!! Mad love from Joel !!
Why vaping with vic not on best of anymore?
He is.
He is back I see , but where did ALL the votes go that he had before ?
What are you going on about? Vic was never removed from the two categories he’s winning in. Just stop.
Wish you could take vic out of all categories he is a bully to other reviewers hates it when someone else does well chucks all his toys out the pram.it wont be long before he chucks tvp in the gutter for his own gain cant wait for that one
Well, I only voted for Vaping with Vic one time. I didn’t do the poll more than once. I don’t see how someone could anyway, because none of the login social media links work; the only login to vote that works is the email one.
I only saw one person say they done the poll twice, because I’m in that group on Facebook.
Maybe if you just had the Facebook login active and working, there wouldn’t be any doubts.
I mean, did you scour every person’s social account that got a vote, to check if any of their members done the poll more than once, or did you just look at Vic’s? How do you know others didn’t do the poll twice, but just not say they did or posted somewhere else.
Imagine if all the social media logins actually worked… How would you know peeps didn’t do the poll from different accounts.
(I’m on my phone, so I don’t know if the social media logins work on a computer.)
How can you say the poll is valid if the voting system can be manipulated. That just makes all the results invalid.
Look, I don’t know what you’re going on about with mentioning Vic. He hasn’t be punished on the polls… in fact, he’s winning in two categories. When I shared with Vic that he wasn’t ‘discouraging’ his followers from voting multiple times, it’s because one of his followers emailed me with proof that people in his group were bragging about it and nothing was being said to discourage it.
There is no real way to stop someone from voting more than once, but I implement things to discourage it, such as tracking IP’s and blocking them from voting more than once. Even with the social logins working, it will still not completely stop someone from voting more than once. The social logins are simply there to allow people to quickly be able to vote, instead of typing in their email. This year, there is something wrong with the social logins, and the reasons why I have not had my developer fix it, is because it isn’t a problem. If someone wants to vote, simply type in an email and vote. You’re going on and on about the social logins, yet they do not even matter. As long as we’re ‘online’ there will never be a voting system that is 100% proof. However, I expect those who participate to earn votes to at least discourage others from attempting to vote multiple times, or as I call it, manipulating the polls.
Will you be doing any more Best of’s in the future?
Yes, for 2020.
