This poll has been a bit of a fail, I think everyone can agree on that.
Nominations were allowed to continue as I hoped that we would get more people nominated, to win by lack of competition isn't really a win.
Technically according to the rules Smiley. is disqualified because he voted for himself but this poll hasn't been very successfully and I feel its a bit harsh to disqualify him when the rest of the poll wasn't done to the same rules (closing nominations on Thursday).
So the way I see it we have 3 options:
1. Re do the entire nomination stage
2. Re do the poll
3. Forget about July POTM and hope that it works out better this month.
Whatever you choose the results of this poll are nullified and I'm sorry for not being active enough to properly control it
