I feel your pain, considering Trent is still losing to the guy who lost his powers to a candle and an oyster.

Oh well...we can still see Titanium and Phantom make it to the top five, right?

Just by banding together on social media like we did in the first place. That's how the rangers we were after all initially had leads on the Tommy rangers. Immediately after that a hacker started boosting their votes exponentially. And unfortunately their totals have never been appropriately set back to what they were before cheating began.

I'm locked out until 0200.

Yup.

I was able to vote again (yay time zones) and... yikes. Phantom really is less than a thousand ahead. Titanium is solid and I don't see that changing in two hours.

is that it? .. and now everyone hates him?

if that's the reason, than i'm totally out of the loop and i'm sure it'd take a lot of explaining for me to grasp all of this hatred.

People seem to hate him for promoting the contest. Then some one found an exploit and pumped in a crazy number of votes against his rangers. So JDF made more post encouraging his fans to vote. Then people on his facebook started posting about the #nomoretommy campaign so JDF made another post asking his fans to vote to show the "haters" an announced he would give free autographs to any fans that sent him screen caps of them voting for the rest of the contest. Then JDF posted on his facebook that they discovered an exploit they thought might explain the huge swing in votes and JDF "forwarded" the post(may have originally been an email) which explained the exploit as well as how to do it. This really upset some people who apparently think cheating is only ok if it favors them and is despicable if it doesn't. After that accusations ran wild much mis-information was shared changing the order in which the events occurred. Finally Bandai found out and started filtering out fraudulent votes. Fans who disagreed with the new totals started accusing Bandai of rigging the contest and accusing JDF of throwing a hissy fit although we have no evidence JDF contacted Bandai. Next people on this board claim Bandai couldn't possibly know which votes to filter out which has been refuted. And hurt butts were had by all.

"Forwarded"? That's BS. I quoted the exact post before on this thread. He specifically posted a guide on how to cheat with the intention of getting his annoying followers to start cheating for him.

Here's the exact order of events;
1. JDF starts losing (possibly helped by a cheater, although not from this forum)
2. JDF posts Facebook rant about haters and shows his ignorance about the difference between views and fans
3. JDF posts obnoxious poster about how Green is "The best in the world"
4. JDF posts bribe that if you take a photo of voting for him daily, you'll get an autograph
5. JDF posts guide to "how to cheat"
6. Bandai reverse results and justify it by saying they "found cheating" but not actually going into detail

And no, nobody thinks cheating is good, but there were NO cheaters or supporting of cheaters behind #nomoretommy, but JDF WAS supporting cheating. Actors SHOULD be above this and better then people who would cheat, but JDF is clearly at that same immature level.

I actually am not sure what's more obnoxious though, JDF or the people that still support him and actually are so blinded by fanboyness that they can't see why how he's acted is completely unacceptable and still defend him. But dw, the cheating was stopped and the votes were changed in order to make sure JDF will win so maybe his legion of annoying fanboys will soon have another 2 Tommy things released within this year and last year to go with the Legacy Gold Morpher, Legacy Dragon Dagger, Legacy Dragonzord, Figuarts Dragon Ranger, Figuarts Kiba Ranger, Armoured Might White Ranger, Armoured Might Green Ranger, Metallic White Ranger, SDCC Green Ranger, 5" Green Ranger, Megablocks Green Ranger, Mask Collection Green Ranger, Zeo Red Legendary Key, Turbo Red Legendary Key... Thank god we have JDF's horde of fanboys to make sure there'll NEVER be something as disgusting as representation from one of the other 21 seasons in this anniversary! Wouldn't want a GOOD anniversary! No siree!

Still, Den-O did say this:

Let's just get back to discussing the hopeful winners.

And the post you quoted had already been answered, so let's drop it. Again.

[MagiRed]

I'm still bummed that DT White and Gold had to lose because of JDF and his ego, but hey, if there's nothing else, we do get this.

We get to see the Tommy Fandom struggle from having to make the choice between Green and White.



Still happy that Trent and Trey lost, suckers~?
