They literally downloaded someone else's picture online and submitted it as their own. That is the argument that OP is trying to make.

This. >.<

You should try to somehow contact se outside the forums, you dont actually expect a reply or confirmation here do you O.o lol
Their presence is not here.

gl on your plight however!

I don't even know where to start to get in contact with the people who need to be informed. They don't exactly leave a way to contact them personally to inform if there is a problem in a contest.

The current report function is for in game and website issues and they have you deal with people who are of no direct influence on the contests so the information we tell them might make it too late to the people who actually need to know.

Besides it's the weekend, Dev's and Forum mods never really post on the weekends so I'm hopping they can see this during the week.

Let me clarify on this.. sending a letter to a mailing address would take longer to create, send, and receive. By the time a physical letter gets to SE HQ from where I live they would have already picked the finalists. I cannot exactly go to the HQ in California and request a meeting with NA developers in person so our FASTEST option is to get in contact with them here or via email, which the contest rules do not list an e-mail so this is our BEST option.
