Well, I sent the PM like I said I would, and most of the entrants have responded (correctly).
For future reference, while I understand the issues with Rep & such, I find the Pastebin/PMs are a really great solution for either Anonymity <span style="font-size: 9px">(something I haven't done yet in a Contest I've run, but am considering)</span> and/or Maintaining the Integrity of the Entry <span style="font-size: 9px">(i.e. an entrant finishes early, people (including Judges) DL the entry & test it, inevitably giving feedback & changing the entry, affording an unfair advantage to those entrants (vs. those who post later))</span>
I'd really like to find a way to preserve either of those two, within the current system. Thoughts?
