1.We had the first round of voting for the Banner contest in the forum itself.
The attack of MIDs is always expected in any thread,and here it was about the banner for the whole forum and definitely it would draw more eyes!(I would like to make another point here.The mids might also be voting with an intention to bring the banners under the notice of the mods ,so that they get disqualified.So,one can never really conclude that the person behind the banner for which the mid has voted,as the one who is operating those mids)
2.Thus,the mods went on with the scrapping of the first round and resorted to the voting in the DT section.

But this was kept completely hidden from the rest of the forum!We would have had no problem if we had been informed abt it earlier and if the voting in the DT section had been a fair one!!
I am not doubting the votes in the DT section,but a few facts make me really skeptical about it.
For eg,the banner 19 which got 7 votes(2newbies and 1 groupbie) out of the 98 votes in the forum voting,made it to the top 4 in the DT section voting. I would just want you to have a look at this banner no.19

I really dont want to degrade any of the banners bcs every banner has the effort of the maker behind it,but do you really think this banner deserved to be out there in the top 4? There are soo many banners in which the efforts of the members is soo clearly visible,but the voting in the DT section prevented them from getting rewards for their efforts.This speaks a lot about the voting in DT section which takes place hidden from the forum.
3.Later,the winning banner from the votes of the members in DT section was announced but it was called as the banner which won by the choice of the members of the forum. Questions were bound to be raised as any normal member who looks at the thread having the voting by the forum would find that this banner was not the one to win.And thats the main reason why I myself questioned the mods in the thread that was made to congratulate the winner!

4.It was only after persistent and repeated questioning that we got to know that voting was held in the DT section unknown to all of us.We then demanded for the proofs to be placed before us as it was the matter of the banner for the forum and we needed clarity in the whole process.And a point note here,in the midst of all this,the mods emphasised over and again that top4 banners were selected from the voting in by the forum and only these banners were put up in DT section! Here in this link you can find one of the mods saying so

5.When we stood strong that we need a proof of the voting in the DT section,the mods agreed to come up with the screenshots.

6.From the screenshots we got to know that it was a mod cum the participant of the contest who had organised the voting round in the DT section! Its not that we are saying that she has manipulated the voting in DT section,
6.From the screenshots we got to know that it was a mod cum the participant of the contest who had organised the voting round in the DT section! Its not that we are saying that she has manipulated the voting in DT section,
but firstly,we were told by another mod herself that she was the one who organised the contest
( https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/hitler-didi/3464009/banner-contest-ii-winner-note-pg-13-19?pn=4 )
but in reality her role could only be seen in the final result thread and nowhere else! And secondly,the screenshots pointed out to the editing of the comments by mod in the voting in the DT section!
We can find the editing by mod cum participant near banner 5,7, and 18.
7.When both these points were raised by us,it was then that the mods agreed that the process of voting has not been a fair one-

8.And finally after a lot of discussion,it was decided that revoting will be done.Everyone of us was really glad with this decision of the mods.But then once again we were made the victims.The top banners based on the voting in DT section were alone put up for the second round.As pointed out earlier,a particular banner which had hardly got any votes in the forum voting but had not failed to be in the top 4 by the hidden DT section voting,this seemed completely unfair to all the other members 24 members who had invested all their time and effort into the making of the banner!! And one more thing,since by then it was known to the whole forum that banner 1 was of that of the mod,we raised concern that it would create uneven grounds of voting as the members would be more inclined to vote for Sano' banner so as to win the trust of the mod!
9.One can just have a look into the voting thread that is currently running in the forum.It just gives one a clear picture of what is called group voting.The 'likes' for the comments having 'banner1' writen in them also speak a lot!

10.But our concerns and requests were not considered by the mods.But we still dint want to let this issue go off just like that.And sincerely,this is the only reason why I had to come up with a thread voicing the views of all those members who found serious faults in the whole voting process organised by the mods!!

If the mods went ahead with the decision of scrapping the first round of voting by the forum because of mid issue and group voting,then what is stopping them from doing so in the voting thread that is now there in the forum?
The only problem is that we are minority demanding justice in this forum while the majority of the members are happy with the banner solely because this forum is always divided into two groups and it has become a custom to always oppose the views of the other group,no matter whether the other group is right or wrong.The same is happening now.The forum is failing to just raise above all these small things like groups and fight for greater and good cause taken up for the forum as a whole!
We have been a witness to the truth being misrepresented to us a number of times and now we have lost all the hopes on our mods.I kindly request you to intervene and take the right decision for the whole forum.

And right now the thread The voice against injustice at I-F!!Mod note Pg34&36 is being closed. Initially when mod notified us about decision declaration on friday at pg 34, post wasnt closed, but as we raised some genuine questions on post itself, then that lead to MOD closing our post.
We can no way accept this whole disguised and unfair voting process that is opted and safeguarded by the mods so that the banner of the mod alone gets a chance to be put up there ,right on the top,in the forum!!And hence,we request this so called Banner contest to be scrapped keeping in mind the efforts of all the members who had participated in it in the hope of a fair contest!!
Now after our every failed attempt for justice on the forum, only the admin can help us out in this biased forum .Its my sincere request to admin vijay to do the needful!!!
Thank you!!
Edit-
I kindly request the ones who have gone through this post to stand for the right by choosing the correct option in the voting that is going on right now in Hitler Didi forum regarding whether the Banner contest must be scrapped or not!!
