What happened to the June photo comp
 
After plowsie and warthog won May, did a June comp ever start? Can't find a thread.....

The photo competitions ended. Not sure why - I missed that. Seemed like hard work / time for the mods though?

I'm sure there is no reason why we can't carry them on without the mods needing to get involved unless I have missed something?

Yes you did miss something. It will still need to be moderated. The issues with the past photo competitions were people could not grasp the rules regarding posting entries and voting. It took quite a bit of moderating to keep if fair and 'clean'. There were occasions when complaints were made and it was for the mods of this section to resolve. It became too much of chore than a pleasure. It would still need to be moderated to sort out the bickering that would ensue. And it would ensue left unmoderated. So then the moderators would end up having to be heavy handed. As the moderator does not have the time or patience to sort it out it has been cancelled. All good things come to an end eventually. :wink:

Wow, people complained to mods :shock:

We could have a "June Photo Comparison ....... Thread"
Where we all take photo's of similar things and then compare each others efforts at the end of the month ;)

PMSL, yes of course you could. Nothing wrong with starting something like that. Just dont ask a mod to go in and tidy it up or add polls for voting otherwise we are back to square one ;)

biggest problem with the last one as Stig said was that therewere rules posted to try and keep the competition fair, ye some peeps just didnt read the rules or if they did they chose to ignore them and that when it becam a headache.
So if your photo comparison has no rules that can be broken, then it makes it a lot easier.

Just make it ten entries (maximum number of options allowed per poll?) and then there is only one thread/poll needed? First ten people who get a picture up are entered, starter of the thread creates the poll etc etc.

It is workable with no mod intervention imo.

There will always be mod intervention. Even if it means a mod is just monitoring thread. Still takes time and still requires intervention when people don't follow the rules or take offence etc...

When a mod is responsible for running the thread this is much easier to do. When it is one of the normal users less so. Go ahead and see how it goes. But do not be surprised when or if it does not work and ends up with the thread being deleted.

Oh and one more thing. This has been tried before on more than one occasion which went Pete Tong. This is why we ended up with the moderator running the competition anyway.
