contest entries...

i think that there should be a thread where should be specificly for contest entries...
I mean it would be easier for moderators and for us...
Exmple: I post my entry which is on page 15... who should search all those pages...
thanks

This would work (and does work) in the example of WC3C, where each contest is run within its respective forum. This way, two threads for a single contest isn't cluttering or a problem. The issue with applying this to the way the Hive runs contests is that the Hive has a forum within which all contests take place. Now, imagine having 2 threads for each of the contests in that forum. That would get quite cluttered quite fast and end up making it look less organized as opposed to more.

I say the current method is fine, the rules for entering contests say that you're supposed to PM the contest organizer the link to your submission anyways. If you don't follow that rule, you're liable to be forgotten. Tough luck.

yes but they are talking about everything in those threads... I clicked to see terrain and i saw "hello my niigaz." "What's up today" "want some coffee?"
I mean.... ccc

Then that is a problem with the contest organizer (and respective admin) being lazy and not keeping the thread clean of off-topic posts. It has nothing to do with the structure of the contests in general.

Dusk is right, applying this to the Hives way of structuring its contests wouldn't work very well.

And again, if the thread is full of spam then report the posts and hope that the users or staff that tried to derail the topic will get their due punishment and the thread get cleaned.
