    Malicious voters!

    Yeah as I said, im talking about the case gallery, I am about to resend two of my cases because they were given malicious votes... given 1 without a reason... honestly whoever it is, you are a dickhead, if you are jealous, GET A JOB AND LIFE.

    Now I suggest we should be allowed to see and report these malicious votes...

    EDIT: Not only am I irritated it prevents my case from having fair votes as there is an "influence' thereafter.
