This document discusses apparent unfair voting in the SlideShare Holiday Spirit 2009 contest. The statistics show one contestant (Vili 48) receiving a disproportionately high number of votes across multiple entries. The document suggests asking SlideShare to disclose who cast negative votes, as some voters may have unfairly voted against other entries to support their friends. In summary, the document argues the contest voting appears skewed and prejudiced rather than a fair evaluation of the submissions.

Take a look at the skewed voting statistics the last 4 columns
If one was to just count the contestant GREEN votes only the 1st place would fall to 3rd place tie.
My conclusion this holiday contest was played on an unfair, uneven, prejudiced playing filed. But you are the best to judge.

3. It is said the Devil is in the Details.
Would Slide Share be kind to share
with us the names on all the negative votes cast?
Then we will know who the real friends or cowards are.
Once Again
No person’s fruits of labor on PPT slide shows
Deserve a negative vote.
As for the transients who just migrated
on SS to just vote for their friends.
In my book I call it stacking the deck of cards.
Especially, if these same people may have cowardly
voted negative against other SS contestants works.
You be the judge of this kind of insanity…
