Thank you for your interest in the Creepypasta of the Month contest! Unfortunately, your vote cannot be accepted at this time. Due to issues in the past with self-nomination and vote fraud, we've had to put into effect stricter rules about who can and cannot vote. We realize that these rules can be inconvenient, but it keeps things fair for everyone and, regrettably, your profile does not yet meet the requirements. In particular, you need to work on improving the level of contribution to the site. While the general rule is twenty edits, having a large number of trivial or poorly formatted posts may not necessarily count, as otherwise we would risk users simply making a lot of small edits to artificially inflate their count. There are a few things you can do to reach acceptable post levels faster, however. Sorry that we weren't able to accept your vote, but keep contributing, and you'll be able to join in on the contest in no time. In the mean time, we hope to see you around more. Enjoy your time on the site!
