The Black Weblog Awards » best hip-hop blog http://www.blackweblogawards.com Recognizing the best Black bloggers since 2005 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 14:00:44 +0000 de hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Disqualification for “Best Hip-Hop Blog” http://www.blackweblogawards.com/2010/08/06/disqualification-for-best-hip-hop-blog/ http://www.blackweblogawards.com/2010/08/06/disqualification-for-best-hip-hop-blog/#comments Sat, 07 Aug 2010 03:38:35 +0000 Maurice http://www.blackweblogawards.com/?p=1378 It has come to our attention that one of the finalists for the “Best Hip Hop Blog” has posted several hardcore pornographic videos, including a ten minute clip posted today, on their homepage. After verifying this, we have disqualified WSHH Videotube from the “Best Hip-Hop Blog” category, and any votes cast for that blog are now invalid and have been removed from our database.

Per our rules, reserve the right to disqualify any nominees, finalists, or winners that violate any of the Black Weblog Awards rules, invade privacy, make specific threats of violence, spam others, or compromise the integrity of the awards. All decisions relating to nominations and vote counts are final and made at our discretion.

We have promoted the next highest nominated blog for that category, Novembers Children, to their finalist spot. This has been reflected on the finalist voting form as well as on the finalists page.
