Hmm...
I'm gonna do like I did when my kids would bring home their artwork in third grade and say, "That's a lovely bear." Then, I'm gonna hang it on the fridge.
Parenting lesson #237: Never guess what your children's artwork is. Always ask them what it is - 'cause you'll be wrong if you guess. Those three diagonal lines, a scribble, and what looks like a moldy ham sandwich? That's actually supposed to be you, their mom, and a cruise ship. There's no way you were gonna guess that and be right.
This one I already figured out. Lol
I suspect you'll find these are all the same people. I've taken a few minutes to go back through the list of submissions and checked. There's a pretty consistent pattern.

And I suspect this is more of their alts:
The voting on that one is a bit of a good indicator, as well. Note the submission time and when the votes came - then mysteriously two people appeared in a very, very low trafficked sub and it appears that they forgot to log out of their other alt before replying.
There's no realistic way that they're different people.
I do not envy you at all, nor do I have even the slightest tinge of jealousy for your position as admin. ;-)
I don't really like "ratting" them out, but they made it involve people who aren't me when they jumped on my guest article. That's not okay. It was okay when it was just me - as you'll note I didn't bother even bringing it to your attention or ask you to do anything about it.
At this point, this is a sort-of-formal request that you do something about it.
I do have an idea, but I'd like to see what you do about this before I start digging into the details.
Well we pushed the voting details system in hopes it would help sort it out, I am more than open to hearing your idea though. We really are trying to do whats best for the site and stop all of this what I can only describe as non sense.
With so many local music stores closing, and so many people going to Big Box Music Shop, I'm afraid that you're in the minority.
It's too bad, really. Local music shops are an easy way to get involved in the network that is other musicians. They're a great repository for information and a great central point for a network of other musicians.
