Suggestion Rules for Logo contest created by CH

Hello,

I strongly suggest the DP staffs to create new rules for people who create logo contest here in digitalpoint.

1) Some people create a logo contest and not updating anything, making it as a dead contest. It really affects the designers time and energy.

2) CH should mention deadline ( Date and Time with time zone)

3) Also, I have seen people outsourcing their works. The drawback in this is that sometime the guy who posted a contest here simply mention that none of the design were liked by his client. so, it is a waste of time and energy by the designers.

4) Unless the CH update the winner of his previous contest, he should not be allowed to open another contest.

I hope the above stated points will be considered.

thanks

 

Unfortunately, it is inevitable some people will leave their topics unsolved. DP is not a design contest site and it would be way too complicated for them to implement such serious rules as eg. deposits for contests. We should always count with the risk of abandonment when we enter a contest.

However, I agree on that a deadline should always be given. (with 1 chance of extending the contest)
I also believe a quick template would make everyone's life easier. Many times the Contest Holders forget to mention crucial information (eg. colors they hate, style they're after) and if there was a form automatically added to the post when they open the topic they'd most likely fill out most of it -giving the contest a faster outcome and the designers less wasted time and designs.
