I think there should just be a way for creators to disqualify themselves (that particular video) if they think their video doesn't belong in a particular category that it ends up getting nominated to. Some editors don't realize they made the mistake of the category before its too late, as an example, I don't think ScorpionsULTD purposely kept the effects box unchecked, and even if they did they may not have been thinking about the VCAs in that decission. I did the same with a few of my vids, didn't think about the VCAs when flagging the categories, and so missed out on a few that would have fit. Istiv even concured that Shounin Bushido didn't belong in character profile, if there was a way for him to disqualify himself from that, someone else would've had a chance to make it to the finals.
All I think is nessisary is a way for the creators themselves to weed out incorrect nominations of their own videos in the semi final round.

Well, I think you have to remember that the admins set the category definitions, and while grey areas are quite probably out of their power - I'm sure in instances where a video is grossly mis-categorized something can and should be done without taking too much effort...
The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…

The thing is, though, as <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/phpBB/v ... 2">someone else pointed out on another thread</a> (I hadn't realized it before), this year that only worked on the lip synch and effects categories.AbsoluteDestiny wrote:The problem is that the creators already DO select categories to go in when they choose the categories on their video. They can change this information throughout the entire first round to make sure they dont appear in the wrong filter.
Apparently, you could have nominated AEO:EB for Best Romance if you really felt like it, by selecting a filter that would include it.
No, I <i>don't</i> agree with this, but that's how it was.

Not that I want to get into the VCA bashing since by now it's pointless and I'm sure you're sick of it but....AbsoluteDestiny wrote:Creators can disqualify themselves... all they have to do is tell us.
As nobody actually did then I guess that's their problem.
Did the posts several creators did saying their videos were nominated in the wrong catagories and requesting people to not vote for them in those catagories count as telling you?

Not if we don't read them they don't. This is a shameless pimping forum, so I wasn't checking here for this sort of thing. Had there been a thread in site help or suggestions then that would have been different. You can't expect the contest admins to read every thread.godix wrote:Did the posts several creators did saying their videos were nominated in the wrong catagories and requesting people to not vote for them in those catagories count as telling you?

I don't see why you all bother. AD isn't going to change anything even if 100s of us posted at once. And were there some background checks of the voters? You know, like trying to see whether some of them are multiple accounts?

When you take into consideration public access points (like libraries) and public email services (like hotmail, yahoo mail, etc.) checking for dupe accounts becomes more or less impossible.
