This is about contest organization. I think that with this new idea, we would get more participation in cB, and things would be easier to keep track of and get votes for.
For Example, along with Feedback and Announcements, we could have a "Contests" subforum with topics about all of the contests. All of the topics in the Contests forum would be linked to the contest topic in the subforum (ex. Xanga Showcase, Graphics Showcase, Pictures, ..etc.) where it belongs. That way, people could see all of the contests, all at one time. We could even have a pinned thread with the deadlines. I bet when it is easier to access, more people will join in. We could use it for mass voting too!  What do you think? |

I don't think it sounds like a bad idea..
Although I don't know how exactly we could better organize that, perhaps a contest section in the community center and the resource center, since myspace staff can't touch the feedback sections and such, unless they would give all staff access to it? I think it would be easier and all but when it came to doing the votes how exactly would that go along. ^Yea I would think so, since she said Graphics Showcase and like the Xanga and Myspace Showcases. Which include monthly contests. Pretty much I like the idea, sounds very neat and would be better organized. So great idea Rachael!

Yeah, Design Staff should have access to that one forum. _of the Month contests would be included - basically every contest out there. The Staff of the various areas of cB wouuld be responsible for updating it.

Yeah I think they can give us all powers to that one forum. I don't think the People Staff have powers in the Feedback and Announcements forum either.
Any member input? |

Holly: I think a new topic for each new contest would be effective. The direct link to the contest and the rules of the contest should be posted.
Oh, and I think old contests should be closed after a certain period of time. |

I think this is a great idea.
 It would definitely help with activity for those who want to join the contests but dont know where they are, and also for mass voting. I say yes! haha |

So I'm guessing only admins can do this, right?

That's an interesting idea. I think we've kicked it around sometime before. I think it's a great idea!
I think we would have to make the titles more general, though. That would be a lot of work for the Admins. |

QUOTE(Spiritual Winged Aura @ Nov 14 2006, 10:34 PM)  Maybe ... ? designer of the month? best designer of icon? best designer of avatar? or something? Since, I'm assuming, the "best designer of ____" would be decided upon by the community and is not just subjective but constantly changing, I don't know if that would merit a new set of member status titles because it's not something permanent, right? Wow, talk about run-on sentence. But having such contests would certainly be interesting! |

^ That's what I was thinking.
Perhaps an official contest group where winners of any contest can join. |

haha I think "Official Winner" (or something like that) would be a fun member title.
But what would be the benefit of having it?
