Nowhere does it say, "Get all your friends to sign up so they can vote only for you and down-vote everyone else!" As Andrew has already stated, we and our other friends (who have some overlap in fan base) only ask people to vote HONESTLY. They have to rate all the other songs as they would anyway - can't just skip to us, the way the system works to begin with.
There is simply nothing wrong with encouraging people who have been longtime supporters of your music to join in the fun - especially considering OurStage ASKS the finalists to do so. If you have a problem with it, maybe the site isn't for you. Complaining won't change things, and I've seen an impressive amount from you in all these OurStage threads.
