Thanks to the person who pointed out several of these posts today to me.

There is a reason we do not say which member belongs to which photo. It's to give everybody's picture the chance to get a vote based on the picture, not who took it. (Also helps keep folks from campaigning for votes). Now while some of you are not saying "my photo is number 107" by giving clues you are actually telling us what picture is yours. Please stop.
Members could PM one another, or even send each other e-mail messages so as to inform one another of the number of their photo. How could you tell if this were the case?

We can't. However we do what we can to make things even and fair. The only option to keep members from never cheating would be to not have the contest at all.

I've copy/pasted this sentence from the contest thread:

Voting will be from 10/15/15 until midnight Pacific time 10/22/15. (One week)

That means voting will be cut off at midnight tomorrow night Pacific time. I'm on Pacific time, and right now it is 6:43p

So tomorrow Thursday is the last full day of voting. So nerve wracking, lol.

I keep reloading because I want to see if my little guy's picture will get a month this year.
