SMT is taking a new approach! Starting from this WWIB, we're asking you to vote on who you think wore it better!

Please vote for your favorite outfits from this month's WWIB. Voting will close on August 24th at 11:59pm CEST, so don't miss out!

Make sure to write your name in the survey below and vote for 15 outfits that you think should win

You can't vote for yourself or friend vote. You will be disqualified if it's noticed

How will you judge if people are voting for their friend or simply for the look they like the most..?

Especially this round, when only two people will not win. The way you word it, that will probably be a lot of disqualified votes

Of course, it's hard to see if they're voting for their friends or if they're just voting for their favorite outfits, but we've taken measures where we've made it so that no outsider can see the outfits, which means we're reducing the risk of someone being able to make friend votes.
Then if we notice that something is not right or similar, we have to try to solve it as a team.

are you *required* to vote for 15? because there is bound to be at least one friend in the mix and if you aren't allowed to vote for them then it's possible you can't vote at all. or is there something i'm misunderstanding lmao

i do also find it a bit unfair for the 2 people who don't win but that's just my opinion

By friend votes, we mean if someone writes to you "can you vote for me or similar" or if you know that this outfit belongs to my friend ..., then I will vote for it.Yes, you have to vote for 15 pieces.

Yes, it can probably be unfair to them and that is unfortunately sad.

We would have to do 2 different surveys just in case and what do you think about voting for the male? Should you just vote for your favorite or what do you think?

Sorry, I just need this spelled out to make sure I'm understanding it right ^^'

So "no friend votes" doesn't mean that I can't vote for someone's outfit just because they're on my friend list, right?
It only applies to sharing the survey to someone outside of the community asking for votes, or like,,, asking for vote swaps via DMs (etc) here?

It just kinda feels like it's such a gray area how it's going to be determined who votes for an outfit because they genuinely like it and the person just happens to be their friend, versus someone who votes for the outfit because it's their friend--

For example, if we say that Person A is in the contest and Person B is friends with Person A, but does not know what outfit Person A has made, then Person B gets to vote for Person A, but if Person A has written to Person B " can you please vote for me and it's this outfit" or that Person B sees that Person A is wearing that outfit, then Person B must not vote for Person A because then the person will be disqualified if we notice it.
At the same time, Person A is not allowed to write openly in the forum, for example, "could you please vote for me and it's this outfit and link to this link", because then Person A will also be disqualified.
I hope you understand what I mean and that it's clearer.

Okay. What is your idea of how we should do it when we want to include you in voting, but avoid voting for yourself and friend votes?
