In my opinion, daily 10's are fair, because if you really like someones entry, you should be able to show your support. It would be nice however, to make it so that if you are in a contest, you can't vote on other entries from that contest. That would prevent a lot of downvoting, and more "true" winners would come through, instead of just the people that voted everyone else down to get to the top.

i already wrote in to the sugarloot people thingy, but i think its so retarted, the acting girls started getting daily tens before the contest started, so with that they where saying they are going to give "WhoEver" a ten...even if they completely fail at acting skills...thats whats happening a lot now and it gives me no hope of ever winning a contest unless i fall into this trap of 10 for 10 people...not gonna happen!

To Kelli chyeaa: It sucks, but just like in life, winning is all about who you know. Or in this case how many people you know that are willing to give you daily 10's! When I won the Evanescence contest, I literally put everything else in my life aside to spend almost all day every day getting votes. To get things in life (jobs, acting careers, etc.) you have to convince people to like you... not very many people just get lucky. Some do, but most have to work for it. So on Sugarloot, just like in life, you have to work for what you want, and do what it takes to get to the top!

I think that daily 10's are really unfair, because you might suck at acting/photography/being funny/whatever the contest calls for. It's crazy how long some people's lists are! Even just the "hey, I'll give you a 10 if you give me one" things, even if they are just for a day, are bad because someone undeserving but popular will get a lot of votes!
However, I think it would be hard to monitor who is trading daily 10s. It's impossible for the sugarloot staff to monitor every message, and even if they did people would post screennames and plan it through that or something like that.
I've entered two contests here and one of them I didn't campaign for and the other I did. Now, it's not like its the same entry or contest so I can't compare them, but my score in the one I campaigned for was SOOO much higher than the other.
Also, I'm currently campaigning for my two best friends Acting Skills entries asking for 10s and saying they will return it and so will I. I guess it's like "if you can't beat them, join them" and I've joined them so that when I enter contests I stand a chance. I know I'll never be the person with 1000 votes a day, but being in the top 30 is better than the bottom 30.

Yes, I was one of the girls who wrote in to staff members. I think daily 10s are acceptable, but there have to be limits. I say no more than 25 people on a list- one, more than that can get chaotic, & two, you can't say how good a person's entry is for that. Its stupid when SugarLoot announces an acting contest, & the "famous" girls on this site start going around, asking for tens. Uhm, hello, those girls who you said you'd do dailies with could be the worst actors out there [no offense]. Do you want someone who is horrible & should never have been on the first page of the leaderboard to win, or do you want someone who worked very hard & dedicated a couple days to this entry??
I put my entry up, asked if I could get people to vote for me. Once they started suggesting dailies, I told them they may not be daily, considering I can't vote every single day, but I'd try my best.
My point? Check out someone's entry BEFORE you agree to doing dailies with them. Even then, actually look over the entry- is it really worth a 10?? If so, sure, do dailies. If not, give them an 8 or 9, & tell them honestly what you thought. 'Kay?

I think daily tens are fine- if the person truly deserves it, that is. Trading tens though? Not so much. It's kind of obvious that the people that trade tens are more popular on this website and therefore are high in the numbers on the leaderboards. I don't think that's fair- I believe that everyone should just vote honestly, even if it's, like, a three or something.

I do sometimes trade daily's,but i would much rather have every contest set up the way the clique ccontest was.I think it would be more fair if the staff of sugarloot(ur awesome)looked at the entries of each contest and pick their favorites.Sure it's a lo of work,but it is worth it and it prevents someone from winning just because they bribed people cause that is basically what dailies are at times!

heartbreaker i totally agree that you should NOT be able to vote for people in the same contest! but then again there may be a lot less voters if most people enter that contest. I guess there are always going to be downvoters and its unfair..people need to get a life..but you can't control it :(

Honestly, I don't trust anything that goes on here. Trading tens doesn't matter because as the contest comes to a close, anyone with enough computer skills will change the outcome of the winner in the final hours. No one does anything to stop this either. It's happened to many people I know, and it's why I won't waste my time here.

I think with dailys the best talent/picture doesn't always win. It becomes more of a popularity contest and stage for drama. At the same time, it's nice to have support from other people. Maybe just a few could allow daily tens, but I think it'd be more convenient if there wasn't any at all. That would help with "downvoting" too, & keep everything fair.

well dailies are very helpful! but you should never make a pact with someone to vote a ten on their entry before you see it! b/c what if you don't like it!? you might not want to vote a ten after you see their entry. anyway you should always vote what you think a person deserves and never any different. don't downvote! its very mean! and you should vote a ten if the person does not deserve it! its unfair. THE END xoxo, Katie

i'm not going to write something long, because i don't have time. i'll do that later. i think that daily tens are fine. if you want to show that you support someone, then there is nothing wrong with that. i think that there is NOTHING wrong with being able to vote for people in your own contest. do you really think that 14 year old girls want to ask 50 year olds to vote for them? no. we want support from our friends, the people that we know will vote for us, even though we are in the same contest. also, there really isn't anything wrong with daily tens. each person gets one vote per entry per day. if they want to give you a one, that sucks. if they want to give you a ten, then that's great. it doesn't matter what you might deserve, if someone wants to vote you a ten, and agrees to do that, then there should not be a problem, because it is the way they choose to use their one vote

Daily 10's are not fair. I think there should be judges to choose contest winners Not other 'looters. Right now, the only talent you need on sugarloot is the power to beg people for 10's. You don't need a good smile, acting talent, or anything. As long as you have friends and you spend your entire life on sugarloot, you'll win. I stopped entering contests because I have a life and I'm not about to spend every waking moment begging for 10's or getting mixed up in the drama of " you're a liar! you didn't vote 4 me!"

yea, with the acting contest, all the girls, okay Most, are pretty horrible actors, to be blunt. Yet, they made pacts before the contest started & out of popularity got dozens of "followers". all the good actresses are at the bottom of the leader board. unfair? completely. there HAS to be limits.

Thanks for your feedback so far, guys. I've ready everyone and think you all made valid points. I totally appreciate you coming here to express your opinions. Thanks!

yea, the whole re-entering 72 times is just absolutely ridiculous.

I currently have an article on my profile in regards to 10 for 10. Well, it's a bit more but I believe it's worth reading. Please read it and rate it. And in case you are wondering, I am up for trading 10s. Truthfully it's the only way you are going to have a chance to win.

just because you campaign like crazy doesn't mean you have any talent or your picture is any good.

The reason I did "daily tens" was how that is how you win on here, and thats how it ended up for me. Think about it though, if there was only one vote per IP, then you wouldn't really have to worry about downvoters to start with because they couldn't continuously keep downvoting. There's not that much wrong with daily tens, but I think if you placed a limit then all the problems people complain about could be solved. I just think itd be fairer to change it.

I do daily tens but I would definitely not do them if it were not for the fact that most everyone does it. No matter how amazing your entry is, you're not going to win unless you have daily support & popularity. I'm not trying to sound like a hypocrite because I do wish that these contests were not like that, but they are. If the best entry of the bunch won atleast every once in a while, I would not be upset about losing.

I think that for some contests, like hottest girl, 10s should be allowed. For others though, like Best Photo or Best Acting Skills, they should not be. But again, there is no way to moderate it.

I have a blog about daily tens. In full honesty, I think they are unfair. And the people defending them on this board are probably just doing it because it is how they are doing so well. Daily 10s are awful. It's like, whoever has the longest list of daily 10s is going to win, no matter what the quality of the entry is! And many people on the leaderboards, I hate to say it, don't deserve their spots as much as other people. But because those people don't go around begging for Daily 10s -- they won't get as many votes as the others. Daily 10s are unfair and insincere! People agree to daily 10s without even seeing or even knowing in some cases what the entry is going to be. For the acting contest, many girls had their Daily 10 Lists all set up and ready to go... before it even started. That's not fair! They didn't even know if that person was going to be good! Daily 10s are an unfair and cheating way to get to the top. They should be banned or at least limited.

i think daily 10's are stupid. i think its pathetic that girls have a list of like 100 people giving them 10s everyday. you can win without begging for votes. Because a lot of people who come out on top totally suck. but since theyre doing a bunch of daily 10s they end up on top. i think its a very unfair way to win. and stop complaining that youve been downvoted. maybe your entry is no good. dont cry because people arent giving you 10s. because most of you dont deserve it, but your winning anyways. I think people should give 10s because they like your entry, not because your promising a 10 for them everyday. But we all know its never going to change.

I don't agree with the whole daily tens sometimes because someof the people who win do not deserve to win what so ever! but like the clique that was very fair and the people who won that totally deserved it deff!:) So to be honest Nugz, and Sugarloot staff I think you guys should Consider the idea to select winners for the cliqe who deserve it then people like the daily Tennrs or whateverthe GRP of old people are called but yah.:)

and I agree with Casey about how that ashlie girl said about the whole actress sucky problem um hllol LOL vee was on the first page like in third place and is and awesome actress!

*not everyone is a horrible actress, but a lot of the girls have no talent that really stands out. I take an advanced acting class.

My real point is that because daily tens create such a huge popularity contest, the real talent that may deserve to win doesnt necessarily win.

The system of voting makes no sense. The ability to down vote opens up the gates for people to deliberately sabatoge whoever they want. You should only allow people to vote FOR it, or do NOTHING. That way, you can just tally whoever got the MOST votes. Obviously no one's mature enough to vote for the BEST photo.

I think that daily tens should'nt be allowed because if someone had an emergency and had to go somewhere or whatevz, the person could not get daily tens. Also, not all of us can be on Sugarloot everyday giving out daily tens and its not fair having to capaing for tens all the time. One more thing, its also not fair because the people that actually DESERVE to win don't win because people are downvoting them and giving tens to others. The bottom line in my opinion is that daily tens should not be allowed!!!

Pat 2 of my above message... this site doesn't have an accurate system of voting. The winners are just going to be the people who have nothing better to do than sit at the computer all day and down vote their competitors whether they deserve it or not. Either it should be limited ie you can only vote on any photo ONCE, or the 1-10 scale should be taken away. All or nothing voting.

agreeed with amy all the way the system is so flawed, its just another popularity contest to get more votes.

ok, whether you vote down or just get the same people to vote 10's over and over for the same picture because you have an alliance still means they're BS votes. If someone wants to vote for my pic cause it's WORTH a ten, that makes me happy. If this site is actually a photo competition, they should change the voting. If it's really a social experiment to see how childish and two-faced people can be if prizes are at stake, then they're doing a great job. All I'm saying is that I'm sure there are deserving winners and not so deserving winners... I've looked at some of the previous winners. That doesn't change the fact the voting system is just stupid.

it's not fair. you have to have no life and come on here all the time to win. it's impossible for people w/ school, work, anything involving a life. the real talent that SHOULD win, doesn't. and that defeats the whole purpose.

WTH IS A DOWNVOTE ANYWAYS??!! i just signed up here hopin to win a little something, but i noticed it's hopeless to win unless you have a gazillion friends who worship you. in that case, i don't think i'm going to be signing on here anymore.

I see a lot of people doing this and i dont like it because then the votes don't really represent the truth--and winners could just be people with a really bad photo who do this a lot. I don't give them a ten. Nobody should. STOP 10-4-10!!

hey i just joined and im lookin for some cool new friends, hopin to win some contests and actually get to know some people! so hey please add me im really nice and id love to add you TYHANX!!!!! Riss

I think daily 10s are fine. The downvoters are what drives everyone nuts. I think that those who are in the same contest SHOULDN'T be aloud to vote for others in the contests. Some are honest and votes 10s for those in the same contest and others will lie and vote 1s or just keep voting 1s.
