Figure Realm Contest Glitch

[RedRebelCustoms]

* EDITED *. I like the new comment section. It's a really useful feature. I also like the anonymity of our contests. Thanks for both Figure Realm. This a great community.

Is there a way to add a comment/ warning for posting contest pics by the upload box? I think by an honest mistake, members who had not previously entered a contest did not know about the no logo rule.

Hey thanks for the heads up redrebel, this will get looked into.

As for the logo rule, yeah it is a rule but sometimes things get missed. Personally I always give any custom with a logo on it a 1 star rating just out of principal.

The 'no names/logos' rule has been there as long as I've been a member--while I can understand older members skipping/skimming through that bottom section of the rules, as it never really changes much, new members should read through the contest text in its entirety so that they don't miss important points like that. Alternatively, I guess I could start repeating it, further up in the rules, to catch people's attention.

[Finn Varra]

IMO you really shouldn't have to repeat it. Just seems like it's reinforcing bad behavior.

[Patraw]

While I agree it shouldn't have to be repeated in the rules more that once, it does tend to be an ongoing problem, and an extra reminder might help curb the practice.

Are the mods who approve the contest entries able to see the pictures before voting begins? I know regular customs have to go through an approval process before they appear on the site. Maybe if mods can also see that it has been entered into a contest those entries could be rejected and the user notified as to why, if the mod feels like it. I would think having entries DQ'ed would send a stronger message than getting voted down. Newer members might not understand that their entry did terribly because of a rules violation.

We do our best to catch these entries before the contest starts but sometimes one will slip through. It would be a good idea for all new users(and old ones if your memory is foggy) to read the rules thoroughly before entering.
