User blog:JK55556/Fandom Customers Tournament 2018

Hi everyone!

As you may remember, last year, the Fandom Customers Tournament 2017 was hosted on the Flipline Studios Wiki. 32 customers from Flipline Fandom, Flipline Fan Customers Wiki, and Papa Louie Fanon Wiki were chosen to participate.

But, as the tournament went on, problems arose. Spamming of the polls occured. The number of votes dramatically increased in just a few minutes. LuisAngel01 and I suspected that someone was creating multiple accounts to vote in the polls. We were right. Bdj610 then contacted FANDOM, hoping to solve this issue. Kirkburn, a member of FANDOM staff said this:

Unfortunately, it looks like they've used a bunch of different IPs and email addresses, which makes them a bit harder to track.

Since it would be almost impossible to eliminate this problem, the tournament was shut down on the Flipline Studios Wiki. It was then relocated to Flipline Fandom, where the tournament finished. Some spamming still occured, but the user (not naming who) was blocked for the remaining duration of the tournament.

This year, Flipline Fan Customers Wiki is hosting the Fandom Customers Tournament 2018. There will be 64 customers from the three wikis instead of just 32. 22 from Flipline Fan Customers Wiki, 21 from Flipline Fandom , and 21 from Papa Louie Fanon Wiki. (recently merged with Flipline Fanfiction). The tournament will start on April 30 and end on '''August 14. '''The customers participating have been chosen by the members of the three wikis.

On April 30, I will write another blog here about the tournament starting. We ask that no "funny business" happens during the tournament. We want this to be fair and fun for everyone! From April 30 - August 14, all of you are allowed to vote on Flipline Fan Customers Wiki in the Fandom Customers Tournament 2018.
