Tamberav Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I found something interesting with some of the leaders if you go to there video on the top left that link brings you to you tube. Some of the videos that were started a few days ago have a handfull of views but they have hundreds of votes! Good catch. Mine has 88 votes but I got 140 views. They should definably have more views.

metrokat Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Oh boy what a mess. A little bit like nano reef vs ecotech on the reef builders vote. Perhaps for next time a vote using a Facebook login ONLY might be better. You would still be able to catch fake IP addresses but how many FB profiles can they create.I have been traveling for 2 weeks so didn't push people to vote more. But thank you Jeff for slaving away next week to sort it all out. I kinda liked the stand staining video even if I never watched it. I have 176 views on my video. Yay. Link to comment
Maniu Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 OMG!!!!!!! I though that criteria for reviewer should be determined by his/her integrity, writing skills and knowledge...............seems like popularity contest to me. It will be hard for me to take any review based on vote count seriously. Did reviews for various audio sites and major forums but I have never seen anything remotely close to this madness.

frags Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I hope we don't have to wait that long! Looks like you will be in because we know the first two will be dropped. I would need one more to make it in....And im pretty sure some of the others were upto something! Link to comment
Marine Depot Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Thank you in advance for your patience as we comb through the data. We'll contact winners later this week. We don't want to prolong this or anything, but as many of you know there was some shady activity going on so it's going to take a little time to come to a final determination.

Rollermonkey Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Seriously: lots of companies would have just looked at the totals and been done. Awesome that the folks at MD are taking the time and effort to sort out the cheaters. Link to comment
Tamberav Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 It wouldnt surprise me if Jeff didnt get into work until 9AM western time. I figured we wouldnt hear until tuesday or wednesday. I demand you talk in your next reviews Link to comment
Chris! Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Seriously: lots of companies would have just looked at the totals and been done. Awesome that the folks at MD are taking the time and effort to sort out the cheaters. Pretty sad that people feel the need to cheat and screw the system even on something like this. Definitely nice to see MD is going about it the right way and DQing that stuff, it wouldn't be good for anyone to have those kind of people reviewing anything! Congrats to all of you that participated and actually played fair! You're much bigger winners then the other group will ever be IMO Link to comment
frags Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Anybody here from MD today? Link to comment
metrokat Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Jeff has been called away on personal business, he will be back in a couple of days. Link to comment

frags Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Finally an email! I thought I would get more of a reaction than that! ..... JUST KIDDING I have not got an email still wondering if I will?? Link to comment
Mr. Microscope Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hey MD, the description says 20 x 24. I'm assuming this includes the filtration. What are the display dimensions? Link to comment
xmas_one Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hey MD, the description says 20 x 24. I'm assuming this includes the filtration. What are the display dimensions? Aquarium Specs: Approximately 20 Gallons 6 mm Bent Glass Dimensions: 20" x 24" x 9" Center Filter Chamber Dimensions: 13.5” x 5” x 9” Left and Right Filter Chamber Dimensions: 5” x 5” X 9” I'm guessing the filter eats up 5". So, the display would wind up being close to 24x15x9" Link to comment
Marine Depot Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 We appreciate everyone's patience and apologize for the delay in selecting our review team. We will reach out to the finalists later this week! Jeff @ MD Link to comment
Corvus_Oscen Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I think we are all waiting on an email! Either way it was a really fun experiment, and best of luck to all! Link to comment
frags Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Is today the day??? I hope so I cant wait another weekend! Link to comment
Marine Depot Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Is today the day??? I hope so I cant wait another weekend! We are going through the votes right now, actually. We will contact our new test team later this afternoon (or early evening). Link to comment
Marine Depot Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 We just sent invitations to our new Product Test Team. I know at least a couple are members here, so congratulations! As much as it pained us to do this, we eliminated 7 participants from contention due to excessive voting irregularities. Link to comment
