Just so you know Coree511, I caught your recent comment and discussion, and just wanted to let you you know that you're not the only one who has noticed. I don't feel much point in being in the monthly contest if people can gain rank by grouping together, and possibly not much point in posting deals if this continues unabated, as its getting worse. http://www.buxr.com/contest/monthly
Also if its any help, I've throw up a few flags to get others attention, so they at least see whats going on if they don't know already. Outside of that there is not much else that can be done without resorting to similar practices. At this point there is not much else I willing to do about the matter, but like I said, you're not the only one to notice.
