Suggestion A new feature in the Contests section?

Hi, i have a suggestion which helps the people who enter contests. Anyone who makes a thread in the Contest section will have 2 more things listed on the right of their username.

Right now it says:

And if modified, it would say:

Here, the Contests Held is the amount of contests threads he has opened, and the bracket (12/13), its the amount of contests in which he has chosen a winner, and also paid him/her. So in my example, this guy has held 13 contests, and has awarded 12 of them. One of them is not rewarded (which could be possible that those contests are still open).
This value can only be changed by mods and admins, the mods can do it when they stumble on the thread and find posts by the winning designer that he was paid, or the CH or winning designer can use the Report Post button to tell a mod to do so. (It would be better if you assign a new mod just for the contest section)

The CH Rating is optional in my suggestion. Basically, its the overall rating of his contests. When a thread is opened in the Contests section, at the bottom of the thread post, there could be "Rate this Contest: [stars]" and only those who have posted in the thread will be allowed to rate. Its better if they are allowed to edit their ratings (incase the contests holder reverses the payment?)
And by overall, it shows an overall rating of all his contest threads. The users rate the contests as on feedback provided, communication level, etc...

The itraders stay normal here, and like always, mods don't have to come between users' transactions...

So if this can be implemented, participants will be more happier

It seems a good suggestion and participant can feel that they will get prize at least.

 

thanks, all options are being considered.

 

Optional ratings of contests are already included in iTrader. You'd also have all of the losers rating contests badly.
