PETITION to the IBY TEAM

back in the day (before 9/10ths of you were on this site), iby was about meeting new people and creating the BEST competitions combined with WORTHY ENTRIES. Heat_Girl, Zell161, Drutigerman, Charleeeboy, etc - they were famous for their ENTRIES, not their RANK. Look to the homies like Mykeyboy that continue to carry the torch these days. yea, we were happy with getting points -- but not obsessed like many of you are today. In my opinion, its the users that are bringing the site down, not the IBY TEAM. We were a family of cool ass people before all this that voted fairly and surprised each other with dope new comp ideas EVERYDAY. We gave props to the people that could come up with the best reasons for us to just simply have fun. Shoot - we used to police cheaters ourselves! We even had an iby group specifically designed to locate cheaters. IBY provided us with a canvas, its up to us to paint the picture. Question is: will the picture be just another painting? or will it be a masterpiece? PEACE -- IBY (see more)

i dont really agree

first off all i wanna thanks the iby team for creatin this site

second they try to make it fun with for example the iby olympics and the daily and weekly comps!!
those are allways fun!! and original!!

they dont know if a new member is a hater or a cheater!!

with thoundands on the site they cant see who the cheater is and the hater
i know they doing there best to stop it..
but its hard!!

i dont think we should blame them..without them we werent there

so i just want to thank them!!

WEll.i kinda agree and disagree with this cos as much as i hate the repeated comps,new members to the site might have missed it the last time meaning that they did not get a change to enter. If you are not allowed to repeat the comp then they will never get to enter again. If u do not like the comp then u should just not enter it..just leave it be.
When i was a pewee I entered my share of Alphabet comps and best ___comps, now i just don't enter them cos i've seen them repeated many times. It gets boring but what can the IBY team do? Band the alphabet comps and best___comps?

About cheaters, the IBY team can band the user but they can just create another account and cheat all over again! Maybe there are other ways around it like points taken away when caught? I dont know.
Offending comments and comps are what annoyed me most but i learnt from experience..to just ignore them..some people have a sad life and they cannot help it..lol..rise above them.

The iby team are doing their best.. (see more)

Okay well I know I haven`t been here nearly as long as you, just maybe 3 months or so, and I can definitely agree where you guys are coming from! I do know since I am still recent compared to a lot of you that I don`t know about the other comps made here and I, myself, try to come up with interesting and creative comps, and I have to ask, if you see it and you`ve seen it before PLEASE let me know because most of us newbies just didn`t have any prior knowledge and I`m sure we`d be greatful if you kindly told us :) I read someone said check different IP addresses for cheaters, which is a good idea BUT my boyfriend has an account on here and even though he doesn`t sign in as much as me, sometimes he even DOES sign on at the computer at work.. so idk if that would be good or not plus IP Addresses do change especially depending on the connection too. But I was just wanting to voice my opinion and I do completely agree, so let`s all make some comps that are creative and fun, and try to ignore them and they will eve (see more)

You all put in the great effort to make the website great. Its been appreciated. The changes kinna made me feel weird about it. Then when things went..yennoe...down more a bit. And everybody stopped entering comps, voting entries, that got me a bit annoyed. I dont think its your fault personally but a few screws can be screwed here and there. And I just wanna comment on the old days of IBY. Damn, I wish I was more active in those days. I just commented an entry saying this but I was only like a peewee, jw, varsity, and all-city when this happened so I wasnt very much IN the IBY community yet.
All I got to say about that is, bring the good shit back! lol. Signing out, TheyCallMe15 Peace.

Okay, so, that fact is unless people get kicked off the site or something drastic (which won't work), the lesser comps will continue. However, if the comps could be sectioned perhaps? For example, when you view comps page, there's MVP, New etc. How about one that says "Alphabet or Google" Or something like that, and as they create the comps, they select that's what the subject is. They have comedy etc, so why not that? At least then when others want comps with some substance, they don't have to filter through pages of "ABC" "Google the word: Blue" before reaching the odd unique one. I can't see what else would work. BUT, I do think people who create comps that say "I'm doing this for points" as I have seen done, should be fouled, the competition deleted and the points deducted. (see more)

sorry... but the last two days where incadible to read all this bull shit about bad comps and all....
iby is giving us the place and its our thing to help them with our entris and comps to make it bigger.... there are a lot of young ppl here, this so called nonsence comps may be just the correct thing for them to compete...
and may only those of you throw stones who come up with good comps... for example like joeybonez... he is troubling himself to start realy good stuff... not like a lot of others...
and bout the cheating... i guess our iby team is working on that problem... just see how many users are registerd... i think its a difficult job... and i wouldnt wanna do it for any money on the world...
so plz just sit on your lazy bums and let them do their work!!!!
AMEN!!! (see more)

Actually all of us did start from peewee-life and yeah i experienced PPL saying im making a repeated comp.. and it was like "I'm sorry, i didn't notice and mean to" and I mean "REALLY" sorry.. i don't do alphabets or ne thing like easy comps and just go-for-points, maybe i wasn't that experienced b4 but now i can see how is it like seeing comps like what we had b4.. i know it sucks but a peewees will always be a peewees(i don't mean all).. I'm more on 50/50 like i agreed and disagreed.. I guess we just can't do anything about it.. But we can work together to stop this.. Let's build comps that will neutralize all the repeated ones.. PEACE! (see more)

There have been several cheaters I've called out but nothing was done about it. I know there are a lot of users on here and the iby team is busy, but it's very discouraging and sometimes will stop me from entering a competition altogether. I personally will not enter any comp that starts with "Best _______ starting with the letter ___." Seriously... there is no creativity in that. (see more)

we hope our solutions help to solve some of the probs on IBY...

1)when a person cheats, you should take away all their points and let them start from peewee again and ban them for a period of time.when they can come back they should be monitored

2)you should bring in a penalty system where if a member repeats a comp, they get a penalty, 3 penalties and they are banned from the site for a period of time

3) remember most people on here are addicted to this site so they are going to try their damnedest not to repeat comps so they can get penalties!!

4)You should encourage people to make creative comps.

5)You just need to enforce more order on the site!!

Just voicing my opinion. (see more)

Cheating is getting real bad most people who cheat think they discovered it not knowing that many have been cought,i think a simple video on rules would help most pee wees when they come to sight on how to vote/ making friends / making comps. / and general info to make it easier for them to get a heads up. (see more)

Now guys thanks for this site, in all true honesty its a smart idea and most people love it here and we do appreciate your hard work in maintaining the site but we think you guys are slipping!! All the cheating(a simple warning wont stop the cheating) thats been going on and the Repetitive Comps and all the Hating on other IBYERS, nothing has been done! we understand that you want the site to be attractive so you can gain more members but what about those you already have?? are you taking care of them? are you listening to their voices? Can you hear us? we are asking you guys to tighten your hold on this site!!

There are a lot of issues that we would love to speak to you about thats been annoying a lot of your members and since you guys have no solution for them, here is a hand from us to you... (see more)

go venture capitalist, go!!!!!!

lets get tons of people on this site and sell this motha fucka WOOHHH GET RICH WOOOOOOHHH (see more)

I agree with there should be a penalty for multiple accounts and cheaters. However when it comes to stupid comps theres no way to stop it. DO what I do, dont enter them. Eventually the people starting these stupid comps will be alone and hopefully will stop on there own. (see more)

I really think it is screwed up when the competition says no duplicates or someone copies u... the first person who put it should get credit then other ppl getting the credit and stealing ur entry that is all that annoys me and o yeah heatgirl stop sending me so many notifications  (see more)
