Re: The People's Choice Awards 2014 Celebration Thread! Congrats, Chris!

Darn... I had to reset some things on my computer because of a glitch and it zeroed out my vote counter on Facebook. I'm sure that my votes are fine, but now I've got incentive to get the numbers built up again.

Is there any accurate way to check what the votes actually are?

I've used few different computers during the voting and it always zeroes the votes, even if you are signed in on facebook. So maybe your resetting did exactly that, facebook doesn't remember your votes, by not remembering your computer? But I'm quite confident the previous ones still count or then everybody are in trouble.

Wait, some people on tumblr are saying FOX is suspending Twitter accounts for those voting for Chris. Is this an over-reaction, conspiracy theory or a legitimate problem? Has anyone more information?

I don't know what is going on.

I hope someone contacts the PCA as this needs to be fixed.

[ColferInspired]

Darren stans are spamming and it is the Chris accounts that are being suspended.  

This isn't right.

[Georgette888]

I think all the trends Chris has had causes Twitter's normal spam monitoring to kick in more. Basically, people get suspended for spamming tags. Especially if you have just numbers in your tweet, I believe. Darren has not trended in the same way so it doesn't ring Twitter's alarm bells in the same way. TBh, it is the PCA's fault for seemingly not making a prior accord with Twitter about use of tags.

But FOX does not run twitter so... Not quite sure how people have come up with that theory. Lol

[Lottie2303]

^ That makes sense and is a proper explanation. I somehow doubt FOX tries to or even can control Twitter in order to get Darren to win. That is even too far-fetched for me. With the current ratings, FOX will be happy about any award handed to Glee.  

There are so many other opportunities to vote. The same used to complain about Twitter could be used to actually vote. Just sayin'....

I might vote 500 more as I have added another 2,000 votes to the ones I already have today.

[Georgette888]

Exactly. I wish everyone would just spend the time voting. *g*

[ColferInspired]

I am done with twitter. Too many hassles.

With Facebook and the mobile app and the site itself it is continuous.

Exactly.

And IF FOX was so invested in Darren and his getting an award: Why didn't they submit him for Emmy consideration (he had to submit himself. lol)? And why didn't he win or even be NOMINATED for the TCA, when FOX seems to actually have some influence on the TCA's outcome?

[ChrisColferFan1]

I am voting mainly for Chris Colfer. I did vote a few votes against Klaine but At least 90% of my votes are going to Chris Colfer.

[Jellyrolls]

Look at this post with proof of Darren's fans cheating:

[Glorfindel]

^And still Chris is getting more votes on twitter from honest voters than Darren gets with the cheating votes included.  

But Darren stans cheating is low, very low.   Every time I try to give that fandom the benefit of the doubt they prove me absolutely right that there are many rotten apples amongst them.  

Does anyone know if posts pointing out the cheating for Darren have appreared and tagged in the Blaine, Klaine and Darren tags? And if honest Darren fans have called them out, or expressed their sorrow/disdain because of the cheating?
Just curious if they all just sit idly by while their fandom is being discredited by the rotten apples, as long as their idol might win an award by cheating.  



I voted 3000 times this weekend. It's not as much as some devoted fans, but all I could manage inbetween work, shopping and family visits.

[Jellyrolls]

When I reblogged it, I put the Darren tag on it for about five minutes (hopefully long enough for some of the fans to see it), but I pulled it off because I wasn't sure if it was my right to put the tag on there (and I didn't feel like taking abuse for it).

I did tag PCA on it, so hopefully some people will see it there.

[glimmerle]

^ Reblogged posts don't show up in the tracked tags, no matter what tags you put on them. Only the original post will show up in the tracked tags and only with its first five tags. People will only find a post you reblogged and tagged with Darren/Blaine/Klaine if they purposefully search your blog for it, but not if they follow the Darren etc. tag in general.

[Glorfindel]

^Tumblr is so confusing sometimes.  

Voting on other sites than twitter seems indeed the safest way.

I wonder if the PCAs would exclude a candidate from the final round, or disqualify them, if they found out that substantial cheating was involved.
Or maybe they'll leave a certain percentage of the votes for a certain candidate out of the end results, to compensate the alleged cheating they couldn't detect?
If so, then this cheating might bite the Blainers in the butt.

[fantastica]

i would hate to see all the hard clicked votes wasted away. better vote in venues other than twitter to be safe.

i have developed intense pain on my right shoulder lately and can't use the right hand to click mouse anymore. i can't vote much as my left hand is so clumsy it feels like a brick and it takes way too long to aim and click. it sucks. well, that means you guys have to work harder.  

[Glorfindel]

In the mean time: keep voting for Chris!!!

[Lottie2303]

In the mean time: keep voting for Chris!!!

I will!

[Lottie2303]

VOTE!!!

[Glorfindel]

I put some of my nieces to voting on their phones as well. I don't think they'd be as fanatic as me (lol, no) but every vote counts, right?  

[Lottie2303]

Haha, I'd like to see the faces of my family if I told them to vote for Chris. They would submit me  

[Jellyrolls]

I wouldn't dare ask my family to vote.  They already don't get why I am involved in the Glee fandom.

[Lottie2303]

I don't get why I am involved in the Glee fandom  

[Jellyrolls]

I think we all wonder that, but ultimately, it boils down to two words: Chris Colfer.

[Glorfindel]

Yes, Chris is our kryptonite.   
And him getting shirtless doesn't help much to quit Glee either.
