You're welcome!
tbh not everyone looks at it in a negative light. When I was running a meme contest, to make it more inclusive, I didn't even ask for votes, because most new people only have 10 votes a day and their votes are usually valued at under a penny.
I currently have three other contests by random authors linked to the contests section of my posts, If it helps I could link you too?
That would be great. Sorry for the slow reply. Work has been busy.
