I consider cheating as something that takes minimal effort that doesn't require you taking time out of your day to vote. However, we all can face the fact that GG probably isn't coming back and VM... unless some huge miracle happens, not even Joss Whedon and Stephan King can save that show *shrug*.

Theres a difference between manually voting again and again, then using a bot that votes 99,999 times for you. One actually shows a fans dedication and the other is just a cheap trick by a few people. The poll was a joke, and its unfair that it came with such a nice promotional package. The only reason why TV addicts even has the promo banner for Supernatural was because the blogger was invited on set. Kristin shows favor in a poll entitled SAVE ONE SHOW. She should have etheir stuck to the SOS meaning or gave free promotion to all the shows on the list. The SOS was simply a cheating free for all, especially by the top two winners.

No fandom can claim the moral high ground here, (unfortunately) each has members who cheated in the SOS poll. Do you really think the fact that Supernatural gained less votes proves that it's fans are more honest? Don't flatter yourself. It's entirely probable that approximately the same amount of people cheated for each show, but some were more resourceful than others. 2. I don't think this poll is any more representative than SOS, TV Addict is a camp for Supernatural fans, just look at the banner above. I should call it "favoritism", it's a very popular word nowadays. :P Talking about pointless accusations: perhaps some Supernatural fans with dynamic IP felt the need to cast multiple votes. Who knows? But back to the point: there's no way Supernatural would grab 50% of the votes on neutral ground. Nor any other show by the way, the results would be far more balanced. 1.

One Tree Hill had more votes so they obviously probably 'cheated' too. So why not bump them out and go with the 3rd and 4th place winners? I don't think that they cheated. Macros are not a NEW thing. Spammers use them all the time. I think they played smart, and look they got their goal accomplished. Kristin did say you could vote as many times as you wanted. Even though Supernatural should have won. I lost all faith in Veronica Mars. I honestly don’t get the point of having two winners.

It was the whole "OMG let's all freakout because VM's cancelled" post that she then followed up with an "ok it's not cancelled yet, hey remember my SOS contest, hint hint" post. Now the fact that she goes against her own contest to promote the first TWO shows just tells me that no matter what happened, she would most likely have tried to get it so that VM got the award. I can just as easily see her saying that she'll award the top 3 or even top 5 if VM had been any lower down in the poll. Like someone else said, I'd congratulate VM had they actually won but they didn't and I think it's a joke that they still got the "reward".
