Deviation Actions
We are having a bit of a dilemma here at Desktop-Screenshots. People are not reading the rules, or completely ignoring them at least.
Now, last night I had about 5 submissions put up and all were breaking the rules, 2 had been already submitted before and were obviously denied, and the rest had been voted on by the submitter and 2 of them were still accepted through! Even after I had written them up about it and left a message for people to not to accept it through, they still got through.
This means people really have to start reading the comments and not break the rules or action will be taken.
Here is a reminder of what they are:
+ DON'T vote on your own submissions.
+ DON'T invite people just because they are your friends.
+ DON'T change restrictions or blog entries to suite you. ask first.
+ ONLY submit 'Desktop Screenshots' [obviously].
+ DON'T submit the same deviation more than once.
[We understand dA should not allow you to vote for your own submission but that doesn't mean you should anyway...]
Thank you,
The Desktop-Screenshots team.

WSC-2011 - World Screenshot Championship
Hello Everyone
We, of DitchDefault group, announce with much pride the WSC-2011.
the Digital War muwahahahaha
why I said the Championship, and not a Contest.
simple, to make it more intriguing, we put them face to face in battle. We want to see how far, you are able to go, knowing your opponents. not just a theme, but prerequisites. rules more challenging and, of
course, the heat of battle face-to-face (or not).hehe

just curious .. what's the amount or required votes you've set for submissions etc?
(i'm just a member and can't participate in votes)
if you've already configured a rather high amount (like 8 or 10), then nevermind the things i'm about to say.
but if you've set a rather low amount, then it would make much more difference, if someone would vote on his/her own submissions.
let's say you've set it to 5. ...votings are quickly over then and chances are that submissions would likely be accepted just as quickly.
if not to say: even more often than desired.
at a setting of 8 (or maybe even 10) a voting would take longer to find a majority and a single vote would be of lesser importance, imo.
of course, a single vote can still make a final decision, but what difference does it make, whether you've set it to 5 or 10, then?
it would be the final call anyhow.
frankly, the more rules we have, the more people won't comply to these rules and we'll always find ourselves standing there saying "do not vote on your own submissions".
i really don't think that this will ever stop. we'll never get everybody to follow any rule in the world.
in my opinion, it's best to let them do whatever they want. if they decide not to vote on their own stuff, then fine. that's what most people would do, anyway. but for the rare occasion that someone actually does vote on an own submission, then so be it. i can shake my head about that guy or i can just ignore him. it wouldn't make that much of a difference, you know.
