FYI to the community:
theryaney has been banned for one week for his actions in this contest. He created an alternate account (TM3YC) to vote for his own edit. This violates the rule against voting for your own edit and the rule against creating alternate accounts for any reason. Furthermore, he lied to staff multiple times regarding his knowledge of the situation.
On the other hand, theryaney has been a good member of the community up until this point. We took this into account when determining his punishment. If he had been a troublemaker previously, he would have been banned much longer.
It is our sincere hope that he will learn from this incident and return to being the helpful and productive member he was previously once the ban is lifted.
