They had severe problems with corrupting influences, mainly from the smaller/amateur wam producers who starting to corrupt the voting process by offering all kinds of incentives to "buy votes"....i.e. vote for me and I will post a free photoset etc.....plus the ip controls were very weak and only blocked people from voting more than once in the same day, so the voting process was about as accurate as an the recent elections in IRAN....ha ha.....cos basically many producers were engaging in vote-buying ploys to get people to vote for them and everybody was voting as many times as they do in a Mexican election...ha ha

The end result was that the smaller amateur sites on UMD forum were getting the most votes cos they were the ones prostituting themselves the most and giving away free stuff to buy votes, while many of the bigger producers like myself and Leon refused to particpate in these awards and so we asked for our websites to be taken out of the running...cos the whole thing was corrupt.

There is no way to get an accurate vote within our small world of wet and messy fans....not without corrupting influences such as trying to offer free stuff to get attention....coming into play...such as offering people free clips or photosets in order to win favor with voters etc.

Frankly....I would give more credibility to "Youtube view counts" than I would to votes coming from the wet and messy fans from the Wetlook and UMD forums.....cos we know that 90% of the view counts on Youtube come from the mainstream world and those people have no biases or preferences and they just view media in an impartial way for it's entertainment value only. So a fairer way to calculate who are the most popular wet or messy entertainers....is for producers to create a sample or trailer of their work, and post it to youtube.....and just let everybody (mainstream people too) view their clip...and let the most entertaining videos "go viral" and see who gets the most views, and so you take the number of views that your video gets on youtube, and divide that number by the number of days it has been online, and that gives you an average "views per day" number....and then somebody can create a blog site that shows a chart of the most popular wet or messy videos posted to youtube etc...ranking the videos in order of "views per day" average count etc,

That way.....you will get many wet and messy producers trying to make very interesting clips for you all to see on Youtube....and you avoid most of the corrupting influences and vote buying scandals that we had in the past.....cos most of the views will come from the mainstream world, and those people do not care about our own internal world....they just like to watch videos that are well made and are entertaining.

Personally, what I would be interested in supporting.....would be a competition called   "The Wetlook Parody Awards".....where everybody is invited to shoot their own wetlook parody of any famous movie or tv scene or music video they want to re-create (i.e. the Madonna - Cherish video would be a good example.....or a parody of the Joan and Linda pond fight from Dynasty would be great too)....and then post it to youtube and we will make it a free clip on thewambank too.....and then prizes are awarded for who's videos gets the most views on Youtube + theWambank  in a 3 month period etc. I would be interested in sponsoring some of the cash prizes for a competition like that.
