For the next 45 to 60 days results on the current voting will be unofficial.

Due to overwhelming requests we are taking some major steps with the Is She Hot contest.

To do this we need time, which means for the next 45 to 60 days results on the current voting will be Unofficial. In basic terms winners during this development time will not be eligible for any prizes or qualification to the finals.

The two main issues we will be dealing with during this redesign are:

1) More interaction; we are developing and will be deploying technology that will allow contestants to reach out and communicate better with their current and new fan base. This won’t be just like recommend this links, but technology that will allow users and contestants to really communicate, both online and on Mobile devices.

2) Cheaters; we do catch them, all of them, but it has become such a labor intensive effort that we are building in an automated system. This system will allow our development team more time to concentrate on building new technology that will make your experience at Savvy even better.

Release of the new system is scheduled for September 2008, we will keep you updated on the progress. Please stay with us.

NEED AN UPDATE PLEASE :-)
by jjasso on 09/03/2008, 15:35

Can we please have an update on what has been done seeing you have been working around the clock since July 17th on this, I have not seen any changes yet, just curious. Not even sure this message will be read, but dont hurt to ask like everyone else. Please give us all an update, b/c not being given any information is really making SAVVY look bad and word of mouth spreads fast on bad experiences and would hate to see it happen to SAVVY, but you can still save your self if we can just give us an update. I am still here for now if no update by the end of this month September I will have to assume this Contest is over and will have to leave, but dont worry friends I will carrry you with me as I have alot of you already as friends on other internet sites. Please SAVVY dont let it come to this, everything seems dead around here.

Thanks for any info you can give us

Smooches,
Jessica

by michael101 on 09/01/2008, 21:26

well its sept!!! now my friend is leaving !!! or talking about it ? when i said more interaction , i didnt mean by the models , i ment savvy.com . blog everyday if possible. let us hear from you !!!! dont go a whole month of silence... let us know you care. dont leave it up to us , to tell everyone how things are here. i stayed here b/c of my friend. now i want to stay b/c of your promise, and hope i can talk my friend to also give another chance. when i joined, this was the best place i had been to. and i had lots of friend. then all the crap started and went downhill.people word fighting, and leaving. and ill be the first to addmit , i got really rude with a person b/c of letters he sent to a friend.
not a damn thing was done about it !!! except me being blocked from his blogs. hit and run, thats all he did, coward !!! id like to see rude ppl be delt with, maybe by not allowing them to vote for awhile!!! instead of letting them get away with it..

Why have a 10 point scale?
by kewlcat on 08/01/2008, 13:32

If you vote someone a 1 then you are blocked from voting onthat person for 30 days.....I know why that is done...to prevent downvoting, but if someone is really unatrractive, what is the lowest score you can give them?

I don't think anyone is actually listening, but...
by imagic on 07/29/2008, 12:01

It's one thing to make the voting unofficial-I think others have made it clear what we think of that-but the girls who entered the contest just before the freeze are not showing in the leader board, which means that the ones there now, some that have surely been massaging the system from the looks of things, are getting more exposure than those who would be at the top but are not showing at all.

Either take all girls out of the leader board, or continue to update it with the unofficial scores so the others can get the front page exposure too.

examine the behavior
by pegatha on 07/25/2008, 21:00

I could be wrong, but I think the fact that these comments have received no response could just possibly mean something. Like, for example, no one is listening.

Is anyone listening?

Well, now you've done it...
by eugenew on 07/24/2008, 20:23

Congrats to the Savvy staff...you've just successfully PISSED OFF every single member of this site! I mean, really...you've seriously just aggravated a good 95% of your members...possibly more. Are you serious here? Unofficial voting? In this day of the Internet and being able to spread bad news like WILDFIRE, do you really want to anger so many people who have been loyal to your site for so long? I wouldn't advise it. Rethink this and rethink it quick...because you have no idea as to how quick your credibility can become NOTHING just by the people who are here. Think about it and consider the advice of Cheekyboy. Suspend voting and then resume. Later...

updating
by umpfred on 07/23/2008, 01:26

This is categorically wrong. Sure, you should improve the voting process to eliminate cheating but that should have been done before now. To declare the voting for the month unofficial when the month is two thirds over is wrong. You should make corrections at the start of a month and let everyone know the rules and cheating will not be tolorated.

alternative
by cheekyboy on 07/20/2008, 18:50

"To do this we need time, which means for the next 45 to 60 days results on the current voting will be Unofficial. In basic terms winners during this development time will not be eligible for any prizes or qualification to the finals."

i think the best alternative to this is just to SUSPEND VOTING for the next 45 to 60 days... meaning no additional votes and no winners in the interim... maintain the current results and RESUME voting when your upgraded system is in place...

oh.. and TIME EXTENSION to make up for the lost days...

that'll at least be fair to contestants and voters.

it may not be the best option, but certainly better than to continue to allow unofficial votes... THERE'S NO POINT IN HAVING VOTES / RESULTS UNOFFICIAL ... it's like saying "you've won. but it doesn't count"

savvy site
by steve_181243 on 07/20/2008, 03:53

thanks then for wasting my valuable time and effort to vote. Make my votes unnofficial then, I will no longer be voting or participating in or on the site. If my votes dont count then the contest is null and void and an apology is due all savvy members and contestants for the slap in the face to all of us. You cannot change any rules during the game and to do so makes savvy look incompetent and unprofessional.
Have Fun!
