However I'm sure the mods have their reasons to ban them- I just wish they'd clarify. | ||

Am I alone on this? +1 but TL mods DO have valid reasons, sadly it seems that decision won't change for the time being (if ever, barring the exceptions of course). | ||

At least in this way we have TL getting something from it, rather than random idiots making vote threads for whatever they want. | ||

Put up some pictures/videos of her with some description of what she's done in the past, what she aspires to accomplish and what exactly it is that you see in her that makes her great. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. In that sense, pictures in the OP will give her a face and give people a sense of what they're voting for. Even though I've never been to Oregon, there's nothing wrong with supporting someone who I think is a genuinely nice person. However, all I know about her is the short paragraph in the OP and the 20sec video. In terms of the actual vote, I'd like to have voted out of "genuine support for Miss Oregon," rather than "showing that TL has influence on the internet." Even though the online component is pretty much a popularity contest it can be unfair to others that don't post on large closely knit community like TL. But if Miss Oregon receives adequate spotlight and TL actually think she's cool, I think all the votes can be justified. Of course, a pic with a TL message would be icing on the cake. | ||

then you bribe us with swimsuit pics you want us to rob a contest from someone who's probably more deserving and sacrificed a lot more than miss oregon this is truly despicable, in the future I would suggest using different language then basically telling us but if that's too much and you just wanna click click and be done with it, go here: http://www.greentwithtamara.com/vote/ and vote for OREGON! and you just like the fact that Team Liquid can pwn any online voting system ever made...also read on. This girl is special guys... with the opportunities that crown would give her, she would make such a difference in so many lives. While most of the other contestants were spending their last few days getting manicures and finalizing their wardrobe, CC Barber was in Kenya with World Hope, giving medical care to infants and families in poverty You are right, no one else would make any difference. It's not like Miss Kentucky had to overcome her parents being murdered, or miss Virginia growing up homeless and in poverty, or Miss Peurto Rico spending 4 years in 3rd world countries making a real difference. I hope you sleep well at night. | ||

There may be the argument that to win these things is impossible without cheating, because everyone else is cheating, but this still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. | ||
