The new month didn't even start, so how can you assume that things aren't resolved?

I've been around a few months less than you have, and I know what this is all about. I'm not foolish and I know what I'm talking about, it's when people like you mess everything up. You're still butthurt that you didn't get selected to make it to the voting round, and that's ok, but don't come all over the ROTM trying to pretend like you're contributing.

ROTM had gone away for a while, and then Ricky did a lot of work to get it back, and he probably thought that everyone knew that there was not to be any campaigning for votes, and that not everyone that submits a picture would make it to the finals. He already apologized when you started bickering, and you kept going on about it. What else is he supposed to do?

As far as contributions, I already said what I had to say about ROTM. This is a popularity vote even if you don't wanna see it that way as someone already said. You're gonna vote for a person you know that has a nice car before you vote someone else that you don't know that also has a nice car, it's just that easy.

What I do think should be done is that everyone before submitting their pictures should think about what ROTM means. If you have a fairly stock car and you decided to paint it another color, should that be considered ROTM over someone who has put a lot of money, effort, time and dedication on their car?

Pictures play a big role on the voting too, you have sick pictures, you have a very good chance of winning, just that simple. People vote more for what looks good rather than what it packs, so if you want to have a shot to win this, go out and get creative with pictures.

Based on all the problems that this month has had, now the rules will have to be written so that a 2 year old can understand...

- NO GOING AROUND ASKING FOR VOTES
- DON'T SAY VOTE FOR ME
- ONLY 5 CARS WILL BE SELECTED
- NOT EVERYONE THAT ENTERS WILL MAKE IT TO THE FINAL ROUND

I think everyone knew this already, didn't you?
