Layouts of the month ! Options

[demolished]

I’ve thought of a new rule for whatever layouts of the month, a nominations thread. A nominations thread is a topic where each member can only nominate one site. Therefore, we can have a stack of sites for our actual voting thread. Why? It’s faired for every nominator and it gives them a chance for voters to select varieties of sites. Believe me, it’s very beneficial for designers.

Also, host will have the ability to reject default layout or shitty ones for the actual voting thread such as Xanga.

Do you mean any layouts from any hosting such as Xanga, livejournal, and etc?

I do see where you're coming from, but it's not exactly a necessary idea, the nomination thread.  For one thing, the crappy layouts nver get enough votes to win.  Also, the main people who post crappy layouts are those who haven't been here for very long and don't have the post count.  And it's just a __ of the month competition, it doesn't have to be enormously complicated/serious. 

But, I would be all for an addition into the voting/nominating rules that would allow for the nullification of so called "shitty" layouts.

A great example for someone would be thefevafortheflava. He was not nominated earlier and didn’t received much votes at all then he claimed to be upset about it.

... and now, he's the first one, many people nominated him because he was early.

Hopefully, you'll understand what i was thinking.

It woudnt be a good pleasure to see one. If it was a laggy site w/ full of marquee, it would take more time to load ... wait ... and see. We wouldnt know what's so great about it.


I got the idea of banning bad layouts.

And... that's what you're assuming, right ?

Well, that whole situation gave me an idea to make something better. My view of point could be wrong about him but hey, it might be a good idea or not. Who knows. It's up to the moderator’s decision.

i dont see why people should be disqualified for having a layout that doesnt pertain to others tastes. if they think they qualify, allow them the chance. just because someone else doesnt like it doesnt mean they should automatically disqualified, they just wont get voted for and can learn from that. besides which, there clearly are no rules for the specifications of what your site can and cant look like (at least in xanga since were talking about thefeverfortheflava one...or whatever his username may be.)

I mean like ... disqualified some people who thinks that their layout is automatically good just because they put a lot of codes or ... people just don’t look at someone's site then they end up voting themselves. If any moderator decided to ban the idea of discouraging "bad" layout, it's perfectly fine. I just want to share my view point and thoughts with everyone to make our design section better or something.

There are a few reasons why people nominate themself.

It's not a horrible layout.  It's very clean and it does have a certain appeal.  Is it as good as some of the others that have won XoTM? Certainly not.  Is it default?  Yes, it is just a bit.  But I don't think it's default enough to warrant disqualification.  I'll bring this up to the other staff members.

His layout is pretty good. Actually, my other post was directed to this:

Sorry for not being specific.
