Default Everyone inside... About March TOTM.....

First off, let me start out by apologizing for last months contest. There was some controversy concerning two of the members in the contest. There was some arguing, there were flared tempers, insults........ I'm sure you've all seen it, and if you haven't, you probably heard about it.


Here's the deal. I lost my cool when I shouldn't have. It was wrong of me to do so. I made some snap decisions that shouldn't have been made concerning the contest.

There were also some things going on that we're going to fix, as of TODAY.

Please take a moment to read the Gudlines and Rules for TOTM. You can find them Here


The main thing we changed up is there is now a post/time requirement to be able to vote in the TOTM poll. Now some of you might be wondering why we would do such a thing. The thing is, we want this contest to be as fair as possible for everyone involved. Not everyone is on multiple forums. So when someone posts a "Vote for me!" thread somewhere else, that upsets the balance. Not everyone is going to have that opportunity.

So basically, we're trying to level the field a little bit. You can freely post the fact that you're in the contest where ever you wish from now on. Just understand that unless those guys are active members over here, it probably ain't gonna do a lot of good, lol.

That should cover that aspect.


As for the two guys that I booted....

I have spoken to both of them. I have apologized to both of them. I will say it again, publicly, that I am sorry for booting you two out before having all the details on hand.

So what the rest of you guys need to know is that both Cuerva and bluecajun5.3 have been offered another chance at the TOTM contest. Both of them have accepted. Look forward to seeing both trucks in June's contest. Hopefully we won't have to deal with things getting out of hand again.

Regards

Cree

well said, maybe since this is recent, you should put them in seperate months so it wont lead to what has happened before...

June's TOTM will be a no holds barred battle between the 2 March TOTM contestants who were removed from that contest.
So what the rest of you guys need to know is that both Cuerva and bluecajun5.3 have been offered another chance at the TOTM contest. Both of them have accepted. Look forward to seeing both trucks in June's contest.
TOTM for June is otherwise closed. Get ready to rumble!
