hello support team,

could you explain the term "circle voting/commenting" a bit more in detail :roll: ...at the beginning of the month it is common for many traders to visit other trader blogs and whish them good luck for the upcoming contest :) ... is this practice legal according to the rules or does it apply to circle voting/commenting? :?

thanks

fxtobi

By "circle voting" we primarily mean severe cases of "popularity boosting". I.e. when someone creates obviously fake community accounts (often even not subscribed to the trading part of the contest) with the only purpose to increase the popularity of the main account. Clearly, those comments and votes have no relation to the true sense of the trade and are almost always meaningless.

Although this phenomenon scarcely can be liquidated completely (at least, at the present time), we pay particular attention to the severe violation of those rules by top-10 participants.
