Enigma Zero Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Honestly, I don't see a problem with charging an entry fee to participate in a contest, but I don't think there should be a profit margin for running a contest. That's just my opinion on the matter. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Zero Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 OK, this is getting a tad annoying for me so I think it's time to vent my frustration into something positive and constructive...so here it goes...________________________________________________________________________________________________Rule 18:-Contests will end on their posted end date. A maximium time of 7 days from the posted end date will be permitted for judgement and to announce a winner. Any contest exceeding this allotted time will result in the contest host being added to the blacklist. There are, of course, exceptions to this rule. If you PM a Mod/Admin or make an announcement in your contest thread stating that something out of your control has come up(illness, grounded, death in the family, .....) then you may avoid the penalties mentioned above. If you are shown to be on the forum list as being active and have just, for whatever reason, decided to ignore your contest then you will suffer the consequences. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Take it as it is or rewrite it however you want. I'm just sick of signing up for contests that don't end that are coming from people who have a decent amount of posts(this doesn't only apply to newbie contests). If a person cannot see a simple contest through from beginning to end then they have no business hosting contests on this forum.

alvarosv Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 What will happen to the people that participated in the contest? Does someone else decide judge? In my opinion there are people that are still going to do this so you should make someone judge and make that guy give them the needed the needed points, reps, and/or any special prizes (like appearing in fan fic). Oh and please don't double post. I know you had a reason but just don't do it. Get used to editing your other post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Zero Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Two things...1. It was more than 24 hours since the previous post...so please don't read me the riot act on double posting. ;)2. I believe that the either the contest should be voided(refunds of points paid if there were any) or the contest should be judged by one of the Contest Mods. In the event that it was an ellaborate multi-step contest then it's completely understandable that the Mods wouldn't want to bother with seeing it to it's conclusion, but if it's something simple then just picking a winner, IMHO, wouldn't be a huge deal.

alvarosv Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Sorry about the thing for double posting, didn't mean to annoy you. I think those rules are fair. Since the majority of contests are easy it would go well. If the contest is a multi-step and has a fee the fee should be refunded if you don't grade it. Can Super Moderators make someone have less points. If so, they should take all points of whoever did the contest to cover fees or payments and then refund whoeever receives a fee or payment. Do you get what I mean (I'm pretty bad at explaining)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neutrality Man Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Is a contest built like this legal? There will be 3 judges per category. You may not enter a contest you choose to judge. That would be a conflict of interest.Monster Judges: ________ _______ _______Spell Judges: ________ ________ ________Trap Judges: ________ ________ _________ Also, are you allowed to give out rep prizes while you don't actually have rep yourself?

Enigma Zero Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Looks fine to me, but I'm not a Mod. Also, you need 25 posts to be able to rep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhpo Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I have a question about Chaos Knux. If you have that format with judges, can judges pitch in for reps only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pengeo Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Can you have a contest, but to enter it you must give the owner of the contest 1 rep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntar! Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 You do not have to give out reputations to the owner of the contest for any reason. You may though, have to donate a sum of points to enter though. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Zero Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I would like to suggest an adjustment to the rules. Since, in the last few days, actual spriting seems to be gaining popularity I would like the rules to reflect that Sprite Contest(not just Pokemon or Splicing or both) be acceptable forms of competition....please. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeroshot Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 is it still illeagle for the creater to enter his own contest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junk Raver Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Yes, no-one should be able to enter a contest they created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4tutoralcom Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Is it all right set a price in Points. to enter the contest then at the end the prize is the total amount of points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntar! Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 please clarify. That is not very understandable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Zero Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Translation:Is it permissable to charge an entry fee in points to be able to participate in a contest? Then use those points as the prizes? Personally, I don't see anything against this practice but I have seen many contests in the past that had a "Profit Margin" which was retained by the contest holder. IMHO, this practice should not be allowed. Even if you did run a contest in this fashion I would suggest putting up the standard 3, 2, 1 Rep rewards so that you have something to give out beyond the points...especially if your turnout for the contest ends up being rather low. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triplelet Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 I have a question for Dj Osiris about ties. If two people tie for 1st, and rule 4 or 5 says that you can only give a maximum of 6 reps, is it legal to give 3 reps to both players and continue where the 3rd player gets 1 rep or how does that work? in my opinion of my own question, that rule about the 6 reps, is a good rule cus it makes sence. rule 4 or 5 section 2 in my opinion of my rule, if ties take place where you add 3 plus 2 in rep points and get 5, that you should round up and give the top 2 players 3 reps each and continue with the 3rd place person getting 1 rep for that place. for the original rule, the points where stated as 1st 3 reps 2nd 2 reps 3rd 1 rep but if a tie then they should state, 1st 3 reps tie with 2nd place winner so he or she gets 3 reps 3rd place then receives 1 rep as stated above. if this makes sence to you or you are confused, please PM me and I will try to clear that up for you. thank you very much for being a good rule making moderator. I gave you a plus 1 rep for the awesome rules. PS: this doesn't have to be a rule if you don't want it to be. again thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Zero Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 And what if the tie is not for 1st place? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplelet Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 then something else takes place like the original rules states but I'm not sure you can only give 6 reps. in the case of my question, you would be giving 7 reps due to 3 reps plus 3 reps plus 1 rep equals 7 this is why I'm asking about ties. if its 2nd and 3rd same concept.

Junk Raver Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 6 Reps Max, regardless of ties. And the simple thing, would not to have 2 members tie first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
