Voting page for the Spring Event broken?
49 Posts	Link to post - Posted May 18th at 5:37 PM Last Edited May 18th at 5:37 PM linkisthehero I don't know if this is happening to anyone else, but in one of the Bush Whacker 2 Discord servers, me and a few others have noticed that the voting page for the Spring Event appears to be broken. For me, I have been able to vote a few times, but I have far more often than not encountered a stubborn error reading "Sorry, we couldn't find any screenshots for you to rate! Click here to return to the contest summary page." Has anyone else been experiencing this issue? I don't want the contest to end up being ruined because of this issue. :(

It got worse as time went by until the next day it totally broke and you couldn't vote on anything. I submitted a bug report and a general email, but got no response. This really bothers me because this is the first year I've entered, and I worked hard on an original design, but no one can vote on it. Even day 1 when you could still see some entries, only one person saw mine, and I never saw any good ones, even though I know I should have some stiff competition from other talented players. I have to wonder if someone is messing with the page. It'd be stupidly simple to set up a macro to click the vote buttons until it ruins the results and possibly breaks voting completely. It's also a tad suspicious that a garden that spelled out "THIS EVENT SUCKS" and one that spelled "420" were in the top 10 for most of a day, and at times, the only gardens you could vote on. (I even tried reporting the 420 one, but it just reloaded the page for me to vote on it again) Or it could be that this site is just too bloody old and it finally busted. Either way, it sucks for myself and anyone else who put real effort into our entries, who aren't getting seen and voted on. I hope that the devs at least look at all the entries and give out their choices, and maybe extend community voting after they fix the issue.

I tend to get my voting for the achievement done early and I was seeing what I expected to see on the first day it was open (yes I also saw the sucks one). I saw the usual ascii art images of turtles and dragons and various other things. I also saw some nicely proportioned garden beds with meandering stones paths etc. I knocked off my 50 without seeing more than a few sparse gardens, but I also expect to see those since people submit as they are a WIP and some don't have much early. Perhaps a day or two later is when it became very obvious something was broken. Whether that is accidental or malicious is up to the devs to work out. I do hope they fix it for those players that enjoy the event and dedicate considerable time to it. I'm sorry that this is bothering you and hope it is resolved soon.

I've seen it before on other sites. Like you, I hope it gets sorted, I know a lot of folks put their hearts into the Spring and Halloween decorating contests. I am surprised to not hear anything from the devs about it yet.

So sad that someone had to be malicious and spoil everyone's fun. I hope they figure out who did it and take away their accounts, along with ensuring this never happens again.
