CONTESTS!!!11!!!one...
WTF Is up with these things. I mean they aren't even about who is actually the "hottest girl" or the "coolest tat" or w/e they on. I mean its all about how many friends you can annoy enough to start bombing your shit and come on, not a damn person on CT likes to spend 30 min of their time bombing something. No one should like that. I mean I have 300 or so friends and at least 50 of em are in some kinda contest right now. I usually bomb a good 100 comments or so.... so to try to keep up with that is impossible since it would be around 5000 comments a day... and then you know what happens the next day? I'm still not in first... or I dropped to second! or do you think you can do it again? I mean this is seriously rediculous. There has to be a better way to run contests on this site that doesn't involve such time consumption and the winners actually deserve it.
For the record this isn't because of some grudge or somethin I have, just gettin sick of seeing 200 bulletin posts a day with people askin for help, 15 messeges a day of people askin me to help and 25 or so shouts a day. I mean you know how many people I got to bomb my contests pic? 3. LOL granted I didn't have as many friends I have now but it was only like 5 days ago it ended so your thinkin 3 out 250 or so people. And I ain't dissapointed in the least. I probably posted a grand total of 4 bulletins and thats it. I can't with a clear conscious spam that type of shit on people. Nor do I press on people what I wouldn't feel up to.
If you want my views on how a contest should be done its somethin around these terms. You use the rating system. The only catch is you have to have a controlled rater system so you don't get friends of contestants coming in and downrating other contest pics. So you would have 2 types of judging systems. You could have one where make the pics only fam or friend viewable and have either your fam or friends come and judge the contestants themselves... thats a lil more leniant and could quite possibly end up void because of dumbasses within your friends list. The other option I have thought of is if you make a new account specifically for the contest itself, add people you have picked to be part of this judging panel and then let them pick, this would be alot more controled but it does have the con of being a new profile.
Either way I bitched, I explained and then I gave a solution. Probably nothing will change and I'm willin to accept that but damn this shit is gettin hella annoying.
