SlawDog, just thought I'd say...

I started monitoring the LP a lot after seeing these, so I deleted as many as I could find, and even though they kept re-posting them, they finally got the idea that they weren't allowed as I kept deleting them, and then I even made a level on there with a challenge and then at the end saying how it's against the rules to make contests and after that pretty much everyone's been aware of it.. :?

WOW. Good job ~MP3 Amplifer~. But there will be some new members coming and then they might make their own contest. But then they'll stop after they've learned their lesson.

Yeah, that is a possibility. But usually it's one person who starts it off then all the newbies see it and follow. If there's nothing to see, then I doubt any will follow...

And plus, a lot of the old contest makers have finally seen what's right and what's wrong and will actually tell them that they're wrong for making a contest, I've seen that quite a bit. :roll:

I think a warning should be given to anyone who makes them, and then a ban after. Because you might get some poor newbie who didn't know where the forums were and posted up a contest. If you give them a warning the first time round they should be aware of it, and then a ban if it carries on..

Isn't that considered backseat moderating?

You are right. I agree with you.

:facepalm:

I suggest you reread the rules.








So... anyway. Level contests by others should stop as soon as the new portal becomes the main portal. We can keep track of everything much more easily here than we can on there.
