A place for all fans of the Eurovision Song Contest :D
Rules:
- No discrimination. This explicitely includes racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism. Don't be a jerk.
- Please be nice, friendly and welcoming. Criticism and discussions and okay, but don't hate on people for their opinions.
- Relevance to the Eurovision Song Contest. This space is made for the ESC, so all posts should be at least somewhat related to it.
Rules may be added or changed if necessary.

Voting is exlusively via SMS, the voting app also just sends an SMS and so does the website. The only country not doing televoting is San Marino, too small and relies on Italy, if you send an SMS from there it'll be probably counted as Italy. SMS is a crappy system and you can put whatever you want as sender (sometimes for codes you get an SMS not even from a number, but from a name because there's no restriction on that). You can pretend to be someone else relatively easy and the receiver has no way of checking if it's even a real number.
