    Hello,

    Over at the contests forum, where us designers work long days making logos and templates and banners and such for those who post a contest, the amount of people simply abandoning their contests without any payment is on the rise and as it is now, there isn't anything being done about these people.

    Resulting from this, designers are less willing to spend their time making contests, and so the quantity of entries submitted is falling. What I propose is that we appoint (a) moderator(s) to observe the contests forum, and make sure that the contests are running smoothly. I feel that this is too big of a job for a current BST admin to deal with, because there are lots of aspects to this moderation.

    As well as the contest holders simply 'dissapearing', or not paying, there are many people who feel it's okay to post designs which do not belong to them, and they can get away with it, in the sense that they arent removed from the forum and are free to post more and more.

    It would be nice to see someone who can stop the contest holders leaving, and people posting fraudulent designs, in order to increase the quality of the contests that we spend much of our time on.

    Thanks for reading, if you have any questions please PM me or add me to MSN. I am more than happy to answer questions/explain because I really want this to happen.

    Thanks again,
    -Hecky.

    Enter into any business transaction at your own risk.

    Look at the rep, itrader, and history of contest poster. Watermark your design etc.
