Posting more than one voting page

Are you allowed to double up when submitting your shop for voting?
I noticed quite a few people doing this lately. It's not a mistake, because they're choosing different photos for each page. It's not very fair to the others who are fairly submitting their voting pages. You only have the option of posting 5 photos to grab voters attention, and that's all you should have..just like everyone else. It makes voting annoying and Heartsy look even more cluttered with all the new changes. To me anyhow. lol

And is placing the text of the name of your shop allowed on photos? Not only do I think it's not allowed, but it looks tacky. :/

Heartsy is getting somewhat out of control for me as a buyer and a seller attempting to be featured. I have seen the same shop featured twice in a very short time and while they were actively being featured, they had a new submittal to have people vote for them to be a featured seller. I am happy for them and all the business they are getting, but Heartsy should take control and make things a little fairer so buyers and sellers don't get discouraged and move on to Quite Unique or other new Groupon type businesses popping up to get a share of the pie. And no, you aren't supposed to put your shop name on your photo. It's all getting almost hectic feeling with 15 shops featured at a time, forced massive voting etc.

Re: Posting more than one voting page

I have seen 4 shops in the past 2 weeks that have been featured already in the last 4-6 weeks!! it's stupid. Nathan told me there's about 400 shops waiting to have THEIR day, but they're featuring stores AGAIN? And one seller opened another store after her first feature with her first shop; just so she can be featured again..and she did too! Selling the exact same items.

I used to buy at least 1 deal a day, sometimes 2. And I haven't bought one in 2 1/2 weeks now. Mostly because they won't accept my money for a VIP without having to sign up for a year first. I think I'm done. And I'm going to go back to paying full price for items again. At least when I pay full price I get quality items, I get them on time, and better customer service..for some reason! And if I want a deal I'll just wait for my favorite stores to host their own sale or coupon.

And to answer the OP (WITHOUT a rant lol) No you're not supposed to have 2 voting "pages" going on at the same time, and also no to text in photos ;)

It does feel very different from how it used to. I don't think I'll be applying again after I get my rejection email (nothing like positive thinking! haha) - I don't like the frenzied feel to it all now.
