I never mention the monthly contest, nor the luxurious Chat Room, nor the FE groupies.
From time to time, however, I truncate one of my reviews of a particular fanedit and post it across various forums.
Spread the love, share the word.
Does it lure traffic? I dunno.
Better would be a photo of a sexbomb celebrity wearing a tight t-shirt reading -

Another reminder to people to not vote for their own edits, as it just happened again. Thanks. Vote removed.

To that point (and some of the others raised in this thread), we changed the contest from "Fan Edit of the Month" to "Favorite Edit of the Month" to make it more clear that this is not about what is the best edit, but rather what the community enjoyed the most.
"Fan Edit of the Month" does not necessarily mean the best IMO, and a FAN is someone who's in favor of somebody/thing anyway. So, I don't understand why renaming the "award" is needed all of a sudden. Maybe it should be called "Most Fans in the Month"

This isn't all of a sudden, we did it a while ago after years of the site and contests evolving.

I'm sorry, but I can't help the feeling that this only happened because of the dissatisfaction by the vote recruitment of certain nominees during this poll. This for me is all of a sudden.  IMHO the renaming results in a degradation of the re-(a)ward.

I'm sorry you have feels, but like I said we did this a long time ago. Nobody is renaming the results for this award - It has been Favorite Edit of the Month for years now. This may seem all of a sudden to you because this is the first time we've had such a noticeable (potential) issue with it in quite some time.

PM the editor. You should also read the rules.
