later that night he was apologizing about the 4chan thing... I don't know what to think.
Thank god that shirt didn't win, I would never wear that ._.
i think it was winning pretty handedly before it was dqed and the poll was called off.
i'm pretty sure even if nobody had noticed the 4chan thing or the picture stealing thing if that picture won the mods would have shot it down pretty hardcore lol (good riddance imo)

I think banning someone for taking advantage of the voting system is yet another example of a certain mod's abuse of power. It was the mods own fault for creating a system that was open to abuse in the first, and it's extremely hypocritical to ban someone for doing something teamliquid used to do regularly (take advantage of voting systems).

Great investigative work, good sir!

The drama level is low here.

Hahaha, I've always thought that it was a really crappy shirt design

It's in the principle. Sure, TL sways votes for contests and stuff all the time, however this is mostly for something worthwhile (charity, someone who really deserves to win, etc). But this guy flat out did it with malicious intent - "If my shirt won it would make a lot of people mad". He entered the contest just to piss people off/get a laugh.
And besides, would you really want to buy/wear that shirt?

What gives you this impression that we should be impartial and without motive? If someone comes on here and asks to have his girlfriend's model shot bumped up and a competition was set up specifically for that then great. The purposes of those sites and contests are to drive traffic in general. We all go to the site, half the time we sign up for some bullshit and the sponsor goes "oh gee golly look at these numbers!". We had a vote so that you could actually have a legitimate voice rather than 4 staff members going "yeah this is the shirt".
If you think it's an abuse of power to ban someone who plagiarized then i don't really care.
Are you suggesting that because other sites didn't pull their votes when people flooded their site that we shouldn't do the same?

This guy was on vent the other day talking with Kennigit saying he didn't post it, and didn't even know what 4chan was. I thought it was pretty obvious at that point he did it and this makes it even funnier and more proof that he did it cause he said "I honestly drew the shirt real fast and just expected to get like 2nd or 3rd place, I didn't think I would win or anything".
