Congras to both winners this week.
Bad luck mate! You should have follow the rule & obey in the "Terms of service"
What is your point of create multiple accounts? I see you have bad intention there! @_@
Stop crying & do it right next time!!!

Let me announce the winners for this week's competition:
Popular: press711
Free Windows Vista Advisor Tshirt from MicrosoftRandom: rhys
50 free prints @ Snapfish
Now you might be wondering, that how can press711's deal won this week's competition, when his deal only 25 votes at the moment (and almost 2 weeks old) is no match to this deal over here which has 29 votes.
As I have already commented in Philips Cordless DECT phone thread, that a terms of service violation has occurred so I have to manually take it off from the competition pool. Terms of service — that is something you all agree to when you first register at OzBargain, which states:
Multiple accounts held by the same individual or entity are subject to immediate termination unless expressly authorised by OzBargain.
Well, I didn't immediately terminate the account (which I rarely did — I usually will fire an email warning not to do it again when multiple accounts are detected). However I do not think I can let that deal win this week as it will certainly encourage others to game the system.
Congratulation guys! And remember — I do (occasionally) audit the votes of the winning deals.

Well I have to remove all manho11b's rant except one.
Now, when is the last time someone cheated at a sports game, got found out, got disqualified, and then turned around complaining he/she should have won and it was not fair? Or should we have a vote here whether my judgement is fair?
That's fair enough Scotty! Can I vote 10+? :)
Well done to press711 & rhys for winning this weeks competition!
Vote 10 for Scotty's judgement poll.
A group of shoe polishers.
That's fair enough Scotty. Contest rules are there for a reason.
But…manho..you did well finding that deal and you contribute tremendously to this site, so I hope this won't deter you in finding more deals for us.
Violating rules is a habit that runs in human blood. Don't tell me you never hit the red light at the last seconds or maybe snugged a Whopper into a cinema.
Fair judgement from Scotty and I hope manho11b learned from the mistake and keep up his great contribution to the website. Pretty sure there'll be another chance of winning the competition some time later. :)
Well. Too late. manho11b is now banned on OzBargain.
Beside re-posting the same deals this afternoon, modifying his old deals to something completely different, I also found he has created two more accounts since my first warning. Banned for now.
Gosh.. and he did all these just for the $20 prize?
manho11b must desprite on getting the prize. The point of the website is to share bargains, the prize is just a bonus. Play by the rules, try and find the best deals and hope it catches on with everyone.
Oh man, I clearly have more votes. I know its against the rules to create mutliple accounts but those votes didn't counted anyway. I should be the winner of this week.
