Point 1 is to never be caught publicly cheating in a contest because this can be damaging to your brand. The last thing you want is for your brand to be diluted by something like that. Scandal brings eyes to a business and brand but is that the kind of attention you want?
INS, Verge and PACcoin supporters were caught cheating openly on their telegram/other social channels. Several Steemains sent e-mails with proof to Netcoins Support for the contest and that is when they decided to check on the votes ;) It was like giving DOWNVOTES to our opponents. :-D
Well, I'm glad they were caught and that everyone was professional in how they sent in documentation. It's always better to win the right way than win the wrong way. Great job to everyone that participated in the charge!
