Level contests made by other people

Postby Charcoal » August 20th, 2011, 2:36 am

I'm not sure if it's breaking the rules or not, but people are making their own contests with stupid prizes.
The prizes are like adding you to a user town, city, etc. :|
I think we should just go with the original LDCs where you get nominated a medal.
What's your opinion about these other contests?

They are forbidden, but there are so many popping up we can't control it. But if we see one, they are nuked.

It also makes me wonder why they're doing it in the first place.
Do they want attention?

Half of the people on the LD don't go on the forums and read the rules. If everyone went on the forums we wouldn't have this problem.

You've got a point.
I'm trying to become a level moderator so that I can get rid of some of those useless contests.

Hence, why we've made the new Level Portal.

If the contest issue is popping up on the new portal, maybe adding a blacklist that would block certain keywords would help?

Although, we'd have to watch out for mispellings.

Yeah. Because people might try to fool us by spelling out kontest instead.
There are some sneaky people :ninja: , and I don't like it.
