Comment on Addressing Some Concerns by ~newfoundland

I agree 100%. There was nothing wrong with the way this contest was handled. I also don't see a problem with mods participating in a exclusively community voted contest. I also don't see a problem with a mod participating in a moderator judged contest as long as they are not the mod doing the judging (Ok that was a convoluted sentence, I know). As long as the provision that existed in the first contest is continued, that being the inability to vote for one's own deviation, then that would be ok. This of course makes sense since there would be a tie between all entries otherwise (or perhaps the majority). I mean how can a mod win if everyone votes for their fav and not their own, even if people are voting for their friends, it still doesn't tip the scale since having one's friends vote wouldn't guarantee a win. As for those who are paranoid enough to think the mods of :devnewfounland: wouldn't count the votes fairly, well... I guess you will just have to trust them, or not participate. Simple.

Looking forward to more contests. :clap:

Anyone should be able to enter, including the mods, because you just never know who may have the best submittion for the contest. Mods should be able to win prizes too.

I just want to jump right in here and .. be a complete sheep. I'm with =random-event on this one, and he put it much better than I could. The mods should be allowed to enter into the contests on the community. They're part of the community, afterall! Unless =northernmist and =Barastol really want to be Evil Overlords, that it, I mean, far be it for me to put a stop to their plans for world domination. :lmao:

One suspects teaching an old dog how to play dead would be a heck of a lot less challenging than getting a guy to do things that women want them to do.

I have no problem with moderators entering...after all, the vote was put out to everyone so why can't everyone enter?

Welcome and good luck barastol!

Thanks for the kind welcome!

I'm sure I speak for the group when I say we hope that texas is spared the devestation wrought in Louisianna and other places, especially Austin.

We'll keep you in our thoughts and keep our fingers crossed for you.

Thanks =random-event We will make a set of guidelines for the contests, to clearly spell out the group policies, and by entering people will by default agree to these.

I've recently joined a few other groups, and I'm looking at their contest rules, and seeing which aspects we will use for ours.

Thanks for your input, much appreciated :) We'll be taking everyones thoughts into account when we write up the contest guidelines.
