The good, the poor as well as the excitement of contest sites. part 3
This is the third, long delayed, as well as final installment of my series of articles speaking about the ups as well as downs of contest sites.In my very first post I highlighted the method in which artists/designers can make the most out of contest sites, even if they don’t get the huge prize, my second one was all about the method in which voting matters as well as the different methods in which you can vote or get votes, as well as now, my third post will ideally make essential tips for methods to potentially enhance style contest sites. The very first thing that I believe might be done extremely quickly is about the ownership of the design.
Most contest sites will take full rights for the style if the style wins, as well as WHILE the style is still on the site. Which increases the problem, what if the style completes voting as well as a long time passes without getting a YOU WON notice? Then, if you want to go into the style in a contest someplace else, or offer it to someone, you’d have to compose an email asking for the great people that manage these things on the site to take it down.
Why all the hustle, when all you requirement is a eliminate FROM site button? Surely, this is not rocket-science to implement, as well as envision exactly how much much easier life would be for everybody. instead of sending an email, as well as waiting on a reply, instead of making some people checked out a ton of emails as well as make the exact same people manually eliminate the design- why not just click a button as well as manage all of this?
Also, in direct connection to the issues I pointed out for the voting systems, a few of those might be corrected by punishing cheaters. Yes, that’s right, if you can notice somebody cheating with the votes, a momentary ban or restricted gain access to may be the method to set an example. Sure, it’s a drastic measure, however as I said, making an example out of this type of things may be the method to go in stopping them from happening.
The exact same determine might be used for the people trolling, the ones that go around insulting others or make racist or discriminatory comments. like any type of other forum, the comments must be monitored…and Yes, I understand exactly how huge of a task it would be tracking all the comments of all the designs, but, at least, a report to moderator button must exist, particularly in some places.
Talking about reports, exactly how about a report AS SPAM feature? It’s unfortunate that it has come to this, however there are people who promote their styles to aggressively, spamming other people with links to their design. It makes me both NOT inspect out their styles as well as feel less about them. So, by spamming, you acquire exposure, only issue would be it’s a poor name you’re promoting.
That’s all folks, well, all that I can keep in mind from my listing of ranting. I would like to hear what other tips you would like to make in buy to make contest sites a much better location for all of us. Don’t hesitate publishing here, as well as you can likewise provide me feedback, i.e. if you agree or disagree with my views on the matter. thanks for reading my 3-article long rant!
