Competitions

The voting software allows one vote per person and we use the computer IP address as a preliminary filter. If you or your friend is using a "public" computer and hasn't logged in, then it could appear as if you or they have voted if someone else using that computer had placed a vote. Also, many Internet Service Providers allocate the IP addresses to users dynamically at the time they log in for each session so this could also be a factor.
We are unable to alter vote counts.

HoP does not condone Fire Breathing.We wish to discourage the act being shown as a cheap easy trick or something that is cool to do.It is one of the most dangerous of the fire arts. We do not wish to glorify it by posting images of people doing it on the site.Any images or text on HoP associated with Fire Breathing includes warnings and links to information on it's hazards.Fire Breathing can easily kill, and has harmed a number of our community friends.We highly recommend you do research on the dangers of Fire Breathing, and then do something else.

Only one vote is allowed per IP address per entry.
If it says 'You have already voted' then maybe someone was/is using the same network IP address and they have already voted. Normally all computers on a WiFi or wired network share the same router IP address (e.g. home, work, school, building, office...)
If you have access to a computer at another location (e.g. work, school, university, cafe...) you may use the IP address there to try and place a vote.
Normally competitions use cookies to determine if someone has voted. In the past If we used cookies for voting people cheat by deleting cookies and voting again. Although not perfect using an IP address is the least abused.
It is important to note that facebook does not allow its own competitions based on public votes. This is because it is easy for people to cheat with votes. Facebook also warns other companies that running fun public vote competitions with prizes attracts many problems with cheating and verifying true votes
At the end of the day the part of the competition 'by public vote' is basically who has the most friends. Some would say that is unfair and it should be based on how good the image is...
That is why we also judge the photos independently for additional prizes and list those as winners 'as picked by hop'.
