We are just confirming and clarifying some things regarding the results but I must stress something very clearly.

Please make sure that your votes are fair, valid and correct. There are a number of voters in the previous rounds who have tried to be deceptive with their votes by hiding their country using VPNs and lying about their intentions or where they are from. We have all the tools needed to check for VPN usage and IP locations. If you are trying to be deceptive to boost a particular song then don't bother wasting your time as your votes will not be counted.

Now we know why The Netherlands had +13 last time.

Wow :uk: has clearly been massively affected by these VPN voters as well, since I counted up all the UK votes over the past week and they totalled more than 400. :(

Netherlands minus 17 places though is shocking - why anyone feels the need to interfere in the way they have is beyond me xstars
There were a number of countries affected but we ended up removing 448 points for the Netherlands. If we counted up the suspicious votes on their own their score was more than double any other country.

I will try to be fair and reasonable if people do not format their votes probably but they are still legit but we are taking a hard stance if we feel there is any reason to be suspicious.

I'm guessing Portugal was also one of the penalized scores. It was nearly 300 votes last time I checked... I don't get people.

I personally didn't lie djnjsdjknsdjnfds xgoddess and it's indeed stupid if people try to rig this like... What's the point :'D

But I have to be honest, I didn't even know I couldn't rig, NL is my 11-14th somewhere so I almost put it in too. Maybe it was also more people not reading the rules like me?
:clown:
Then again I can totally see some ppl here trying to rig dsfjnksdfjnkfsdnjk

Gutted the UK have dropped so much this week. I thought we finally had an entry in the ESC to be proud of. I know we won't win but it would be nice to be on the left side of the final board for once. 😥

It's begining to look like another disappointment. 😭

Why do people cheat?? Just spoiling the whole game for everyone.

These ranking results have nothing to do with the real result of ESC, so don't let this get your mood down.

Oh I know that, I just believed (hoped) it was a grower and ESC fans were begining to find the love for the UK this year. If ESC fans on here like it, then there is a glimmer of hope when we get to Rotterdam.

Yup , and even right now many users noticed that Netherlands was getting a lot of votes From one time voters on Thursday and Friday when the song hasn't been revamped or anything.
