Battle of the Unsigned Bands: HIGH TIMES Online Poll
Thu, Mar 04, 2010 1:45 pm
Help us pick the next Unsigned Band of the Month!
Over the past month, we’ve featured four unsigned bands on HT.com. Only one will make the leap from cyberspace to the pages of HIGH TIMES Magazine – and we need you to choose!
Each vote helps determine what HT.com Unsigned Band of the Week becomes the next HIGH TIMES Magazine Unsigned Band of the Month.
It’s a battle of the unsigned bands, and you’re a judge!
The winner of this poll will be featured in the July 2010 issue of HIGH TIMES.
So, what was your favorite unsigned band from the last month? Take a look at the options and then scroll down to cast your vote.
Which band will be the next HIGH TIMES Unsigned Band of the Month? You tell us.
Voting ends Wednesday, March 10 at 4:20pm EST.

These "polls" are easily manipulated and it has been posted ad nauseum exactly how to do that. All this bullsh$t about it was "dedicated fans" who were putting in votes is hog wash. TDC were re-voting, Mouce was re-voting. These are facts. TDC did win because most of the band was behind a computer voting for themselves from 10:30 EST till they thought they were disqualified and ALL of their votes immediately stopped coming in and resumed immediately after the HT admin stated they were not disqualified.
Obviously TDC and Mouce both wanted their moment in the sun badly and were willing to go to great lengths to do so. But a warning to all other "bands of the week" now that the cat is out of the bag this contest is about who can put votes in the system faster and has nothing to do with the "fans". So don't waste your time campaigning for real votes just get the software listed below and vote your asses off. Last one to get carpel tunnel wins. Or maybe I'll have some of my buddies pick a band and vote for them a couple thousand times for kicks. Sucks for the other three but blame high times for making NO effort to run a clean contest.

Mar 10 2010, 8:50 pm
it doesn't matter if your machine is cookied or not, the voting site is using remote services to count anyway and it does filter it by IP address, even if you hit the webservice directly with the correct params, it doesn't count!
before you start posting ways to counter-act a system, make sure you know how the system works. the cookie in which Dan speaks of is only used to decipher whether or not the FLASH ITSELF THINKS you've voted, even tho the vote form may come up again does NOT mean it actually recounted your vote. its just another way to make it harder to vote, but it doesn't ACTUALLY cast the vote
now its time to go back to my bowl :-)

get the "flash cookie cleaner" from cnet.com, install it, press "delete cookies", restart you browser, vote, press "delete cookies", restart browser, vote, repeat.
go to the "comment" link at the bottom of the voting widget and it will take you to a page where you can see how many votes have been cast. go there watch the tally increase with your multiple votes. So "sore loosers unite" (obviously one of TDC) don't get so excited about your "win" yet. Us "losers" are gonna make sure HT doesn't turn a blind eye to your tactics.
I'm not saying ya'll don't deserve any shine in the mag and I don't doubt ya'll are a great band BUT don't parade around like you were able to win this "poll" based on your fan base or people's love of your music.

Mar 10 2010, 4:28 pm
Here's the recipe for all those who think this poll is fair. get the "flash cookie cleaner" from cnet. press "delete cookies", restart you browser, vote, press "delete cookies", restart browser, vote, repeat. That's what Divine Crime was doing from day one. Just look at the data. If HT can get the voting data from vizu I challenge you to look at DC's voting pattern this afternoon.
Obviously this polling system is super insecure and it seems unfair to Amber Ladd and the Birds who didn't stand a chance simply because they weren't savvy enough to know how to cheat. HT, you have know this polling sytem was insecure from last months poll and did nothing to address the situation.

CHEATING IS NOT ABOUT THE MUSIC, THATS EGO.
AMBER IS A HIGHLY TALENTED, INSPIRED, BEAUTIFUL DEEP WRITER/MUSICIAN AND SHE DESERVES THIS!!! IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO SEE WHAT THE END RESULTS WOULD HAVE BEEN IF THIS ASSANINE ATTEMPT AT CHEATING HADN'T HAPPENED! BUT NOW WE'LL NEVER KNOW, AND UNFORTUNATELY...THE 2 CHEATING GROUPS/ARTIST(S) NOT ONLY HAVE A CHEATING, SLIMY LABEL ATTACHED TO THEM...THEY'LL NEVER TRULY KNOW IF THEY COULD HAVE MADE THE CUT!!
Amber, you go girl!! You deserve this, and I'm so proud of you! You're one of the REALEST artists I have ever had the pleasure of knowing in my life!!
xoxoxxo MUCH love from Jaimee-Lea up here in Oshawa,ON CANADA

I find it very disturbing that you would think that this caused the problem. There seems to already be a check in the voting app to not allow multiple votes within the poll. I was able to see this so I can see the results without having to vote. If this is the case, then maybe you should find a better polling system.
That being said, there may even be situations where ISPs do have a common IP address for providers (I know of several in Flordia, California, New York, Washington) and not to mention all mobile providers (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, etc.) and the location also matters (an AT&T iPhone may have a different IP address from NY to CA, but not necessarily the case in CA).
This entire thing now seems fraud and this whole voting for best artist now seems kinda lame now. You do this whole voting, get your friends, fans to vote and now you just disqualify the top contestants b/c of a glitch in YOUR system.
Great Job!

I also happen to be Amber's mom..biased ? of course..but Amber has been working her a** off most of her life at her music. She started writing songs and teaching herself to play guitar and piano when she was about 11 or 12. She has been performing and working hard in spite of roadblocks along the way, ever since. She is brilliant and talented, with an incredible voice and style all her own. She deserves recognition !!!!! Congratulations Amber ! love you !

popularity contests / fan voting, pay to play, presales... what exactly does ANY of dis got to do with music? y'all already TRASHED whatever wuz left of the so.cal / los angeles music scene by taking music OUT of the equation... Incredible bands DONT play bcuz they cant draw 50 people, wont even get LOOKED at...
i personally know the Divine Crime - all my homies - and their CD is incredible... songwriting / production / musicianship...
I dont know anyone else on dat list - never even listened to the music or checked out their site... they could b the dopest, hippest, coolest shit out there right now. but my purpose wuz to vote 4 my homiez...
is it fair - hell no - but like i said... what did y'all expect? I mean its a pretty dope honor (pun intended) to b on the cover of High Times...
