Quote: "And as the admin of the contests, seeing the problem with the rule, I had to change it to work, lets try and draw a picture.
Lets say theres a new law, um lets say "All teenagers must be at home before 9 o'clock" to reduce crime, however, parliament soon then see a problem with this law, and decides to make it work properly, like lets say teenagers are allowed out under supervision or the law becomes 'de criminalised' So they changed it to work best. Hyperthetically speaking of course"
When did you change it?
Did you bother to tell us?
If that wasn't an acceptable rule and needed to be changed, then why did you post that instead of the new rule?
Whatever dude,
Your story doesn't jive.
Again, you never told us a change had been made until your decision was questioned.
Quote: "Right, you must understand, I am running these contests, I allow the winner to choose the theme and apply suggestable rules, I then decide what is appropriate and allow for it to pass, I decided that the 'Must post models' rule was not completely appropriate, and changed it."
Yeah and YOU posted the rule as he stated it, not as a new version.
Yeah and YOU didn't bother to tell us that you made a change.
You are
running it, if that's what you want to call it.
So, good luck on having more than two entries next time.
Until YOU follow the rules that YOU set, and until YOU bother to tell us YOU changed the rules
after YOU posted them...then I doubt that this Contest will ever develope into what it should.
Again, I liked the idea.
However, the rules must be approved and stated clearly before the contests begins.
Once the contest begins, then there should be no changes or exceptions to the rules.
All this
change the rules midway to suit yourself will definitely turn logical people away.
I know my models aren't that good, because I am a beginnner.
I never expected to win or even get a single vote.
This is not about winning or losing, it's about having fun.
I can't have any fun here if the contest is not fair.
Good Luck to the ones who can.
I have nothing against you Seppuku Arts.
I am simply crying "FOUL!", and stating why I won't enter these contests again.
You had mentioned that you were happy to see the number of entries increasing from a slump.
I thought if you know why I am not coming back, then you would have an idea as to the cause of your slumps.
If the others never said why, then it doesn't stop me from saying it.
I hope it helps, instead of me just walking away and saying nothing.
I wish your Contests the Success that the Idea deserves.
