Omg... A Definitely manipulation of Results.... This contest seems to be a battle for quantity rather than quality.....If I would be the one to judge this November Result I would remove all these fancy views and would judge based on the quality of article.....Really disappointed on how people could easily manipulate their rankings...... 22,000+ views f*** cheater..
I think dukascopy can rank this participation totally on quality of articles and effort given ( number of articles, uniqueness etc ) for november . Please delete view statistic and popularity. . Banning them might be harmful at the last stage. this will be ok for next month.
I say this because some participant might do it unwillingly and they do not know the rules. Here i see a lot of new participant. if only they drop out even if the article is good then he/she might be disappointed and might not participate later. we need participants for these competition as well. these competition is not becoming popular and if so many disputes continues i guess it will be never be popular.
already participants starting becoming less due to dukascopy decision of prize cut, change of term from participant of ACTIVE PARTICIPANT etc. we do not want any more disputes .
i think dukascopy can reduce the weight of views + popularity = 100 combined = ( 25 % each factor) and dukascopy evaluation 200 . in this way weight of popuraity will be 33 % and quality = 66% . a more quality approach.
