Problem: The Ponoko web site does not list telephone books as materials they supply, and they do not accept user-supplied materials. I detect a lack of accuracy, if not honesty.

I read again rules, and i couldn't find something clear which would discredit my project. If the problem is the use of a brand image, it was not volontary. You can use any other books and catalogues as material to build it, even recycled paper.

The contest rules aren't the issue. The claim that Ponoko cut this conflicts with information on the Ponoko web page: "Materials FAQs What materials can I use? You can choose from the range of wood and ply sheeting and acrylic listed in our materials catalog. You can also access the materials catalog through your My Ponoko account. We plan to expand the materials over the coming months. Can I use my own materials? No. Parts can only be cut from materials we supply. Of course, you can use other materials to embellish your design once you get the product parts back from Ponoko." Perhaps you used another laser cutter or laser cutting service, but it was unlikely you used Ponoko. It is a nice project, but certain elements in the description, along with the artificially inflated rating, are severely damaging your credibility.

I didn't read FAQs cuz the rules looked clears for me and i had any questions. Moreover, there are more than 150 topics in the FAQs, who read all? These kind of information don't have to be in the FAQs!

Ok i didn't see this part, sorry! But it sould be in the main rules and not in the FAQs to be readable!! For the rating is not artificially inflated. When i post my project i show it to my friends. And my friends who liked my work, voted for! All my friends didn't vote or didn't give me a good mark if they don't like it! Of course i showed my work to my friends, cuz i like my project and i wanted to show it. It's also the reason why i post it otherwise i didn't participate!!
