Inviting your friends to vote for you, bribing random members with reputation points and/or cheating otherwise with the vB Poll System will result in disqualification, black listing from future contests, deduction of reputation points and, in severe cases, an infraction.

This includes, but is not limited to, sending PMs out to various users, getting other people to send those PMs, advertising this contest on other sites with the intention to gain more votes (whether it is explicitly stated or not), and so on. If you are suspected of cheating, the staff will notify you and interrogate you (if necessary) over PMs.​

I voted for Ganondorf, it was the one that stood out most to me and looked awesome :)
Ampharos_222's and shiiK's were great too!

Voted for Ampharos_222. Great work man ^_^
I love it how the scorpion looks like it should be a transformer. xD
 
Ganondorf - I really like it, looks really awesome. Could use some TC, and those blue lines could be more detailed.
sPy - Damn, that scares me! Nice job, but doesn't look golem-ish to me.
waveseeker - Umm...it's a robot, and it needs more shading.
Blood Raven - Looks wonderful! But I think it could have used a splash of colour and it's kinda bright.
M0rbid - I love the rider, he's really detailed, but the lava horse turns me off.
Ampharos 222 - God, I don't think I have any complaints!
shiik - The detail on the skin is absolutely amazing!!! However, when wrapped on the model, it kinda looks like a grey bull who doesn't shower often.

I will vote for Ampharos 222, though I also loved Ganondorf's and shiik's.

Thats kindof lame kanodoom.

You are rating the skin, not the person.

No offense to anyone, but i think things like voting on the person and not the production happens alot in these contests. ):

i think he's mistaken that this is a modeling competition. you know newbies these days.
 
If that's the case, then your comment is pretty much useless, and even as I type I realise this comment is useless too thereby you initiated 2 useless comments.
what kind of comment is... useful... after all?
i just stated my opinion about the contest output, whether you want to hear it or not

or maybe we got 3 useless posts now

The opinion that no entry is worth voting for is as useful as the opinion that one entry is worth voting for. Thank you, HC, for the contribution. To me, that means I need to try harder.
 
Forgive me, I mistook my words. Purposeless is what I meant. You're posting an opinion, which has no purpose. Other people post because they have a legit purpose; telling who they voted for and why. Yours is telling you're not voting. See the difference?

@shiik: Are you saying that a post saying: 'You're skin needs more highlights and shading, especially around the jaw', is as useful as 'I won't give you critique because I don't like it'? Both of them can make you try harder.

Anyways, feel free to post whatever whenever you like, and ignore me.

Pyramidhe@d is very male. Yes, it's sad he didn't attach the .blp.

His opinion has a purpose. He's doing the exact same as everybody else with their "legit" purpose. his telling us he voted for nobody, because none was worth his vote, while another may vote for Ampharos because he thought his entry was worth his vote. Simple.

As for your examples:
For the purpose of making me try harder, the latter reply is more effective. For the purpose of helping me try harder, the former is more effective.
