GTAO Snapmatic Cheaters.

[Aero Dynamo]

So as you all know the new, { #BUSINESS } Snapmatic Contest is out. But as of now, No one is getting a fair chance due to these Snapmatic Cheaters. I am just frustrated by this as I am trying to post my pictures too so that I can get a fair chance to win the contest. But as of this day I wont be due to these Snapmatic Cheaters.

 

Let me explain in detail who and what these cheaters do,

 

First lets take for example there are 2 people {Person A and B}. Both have taken their picture over a different period of time say a month. Both have over 1000 likes on their pictures. Say Person A picture had the highest likes during the {#Beach Bum} Snapmatic Contest. Person B picture had one of the highest likes during the {#Valentines Day} Snapmatic Contest. Say Both of them did not win. But they suck at taking pictures and it was a stroke of luck they got those good pictures. They both are looking forward to win and keep trying so what they did is, During the {#Business} Snapmatic Contest they just removed their old tags and changed it to the latest Snapmatic Contest Tag. That way their picture automatically becomes the most liked picture even though its old and doesn't have any relation to the current contest.

 

This way these people cheat like hell and the new or aspiring Snapmatic Photographers do not get a chance as their picture gets easily overlooked even if theirs may be the best one out there. I hate this system and i just contacted Rockstar Support. Will see what happens. Share your own similar tales and stuff. Give your own views about it.

Ask R* to accept pictures that started in the contest start date, and all will be fair.

Rockstar specifically states during these contests that only photos taken during the duration of the contest actually apply as entrants to said contest.

They outsmarted everyone else. Congratulations to them. I hope they win.

Didn't it also mention a reference to using the new cars and suits etc

I could care less about any of the snapmatic contests/crap, but you sound butthurt that someone took the initiative and is actually getting attention.

 

This was my favorite part of the post "But they suck at taking pictures and it was a stroke of luck they got those good pictures. "

 

 

Such butthurt rationalizing. Sounds like my fail friend who comes up with excuses anytime he dies in a vidja game.

Changing the hashtag should make no difference whatsoever. When you enlarge a pic in the top left it states how long ago the pic was taken.

The theme for this event is Business. Images will be evaluated based on the following criteria: Creativity 35%; Originality 35%; and Image Quality 30%. Evaluations are in Rockstars sole discretion.

OP this is how a lot of website contests work, as well. You're right, it's not what most would call "fair play," but it is how it works, unfortunately.

We're talking about a cash value of $20 (prize is $1 million, in-game), so people are going to jump all over it.

The only hope is that Rockstar defined the contest parameter as "photos featuring cars, clothes, and weapons from the new Business DLC," so if person A has 2800 likes for a photo they took of the Bifta, then Rockstar will not agree to award that a winner.

Just saying, there is hope, but don't count your stickies before they pop.

Which guy? Me? Oh please, Like nobody wants to win the Snapmatic Photo Contest and like nobody has pointed this out in the past. Only Cheaters will disagree with my Main Post.
