I actually agree with this. I think most of the voting done is based on favorites and popularity, not so much the girls' efforts. There could be a girl who does a ton of work, puts in tons of time, effort, and money, and hardly gets recognized for it. Meanwhile, there are girls who get recognized simply for being popular. It's like high school all over again.
Harley it's one of the reasons I started this thing about 4 years ago. I noticed alot of the OCSMs would pop on for Miss FreeOnes just to win the money and then be absent for the rest of the year. I was the guy who was a reaction to the contest. I sent emails to Petra suggesting a Best OCSM category get set up so the board people here would actually vote someone who actually participates. Myself along with others championed the cause and it became a reality. I feel like the contest is sort of moot now that the category is in place. However, there is still some slight injustice being carried out as well as people like seeing the stats, so I've kept it going with no incentive.
