Anyone know whats going on with my submission, ain't the deadline tomorrow!?! :unsure:

Still waiting on a response from the mods, I sent your entry out for inspection 12 hours ago. I will probably get an answer relatively soon if the track is vetoed.

Ah right. Now I'm with you. Then you can either pull it forward or push it back by 24hrs. Whatever suits.

Would everybody be here on a Monday? Thinking that is the way I'd like to do it but I can (almost) as easily do it on a Saturday, just wondering if the short amount of time to vote in the semis might be an issue.

i would imagine saturday would be better as opposed to monday, just in terms of voting deadlines.

What's freaky about saying "confirmed" Totto? :lol:

Any Veto's yet :o

still waiting! not sure, maybe the silence means no vetoes but I'm not sure.

You come to thread and you see everyone posting in order "Confirmed" robotically without context haha, it's scary no?

Silence probably means it hasn't been discussed yet.

I think people do it to safeguard themselves just in case the PM wasn't received by the host perhaps. I've hosted in the past and seen a confirmed post in the thread and then had to PM the member because I hadn't received anything.

Qärenfanghoney

 

As much as I'd love to see another Qärenfanghoney entry this month I feel obligated to point out that they didn't vote in LXX so should be banned from this contest oop

Another reason to say OVERTURN the ban this one time !! That contest was ages ago and it's a new year people, have a heart :(

I want to agree (for Klum/Tirren's sake ~) but I think that'd be setting a bad precedent, it'd remove any incentive for people who DNQ in the last contest of a year to vote in the final. (Well, apart from the incentive of supporting faves of course).

Just because it's a new year doesn't mean we should overlook people's FAILURES. They stick with you FOR LIFE.

I get that but i feel if you have people that really want to enter and have asked for FORGIVENESS, a slight failure 2 months ago shouldn't really impact on the start of a new year which is also the start of new records, new spreadsheets etc. The first contest of the new year should be inviting for all and we're already preventing people that want to enter from doing so, so it's not the most inviting of openings imo.

 

And i'd have a bit more faith in the posters here to NOT abuse the system at the end of this year, and if they do do so, then penalise them in TBO or something.

I don't really have any worries about them not voting in the final contest of 2015, it's just that once a precedent is set for this being a new year, so a new slate or whatever, then it makes it more difficult to justify one contest bans in future when some kind of viable excuse gets brought up.

 

Not that it really matters what we say anyway.

I would say keep the ban. It's harsh but I'd rather the rules be consistent rather than one rule for the first contest and another for everything else.

 

That, or ban them from voting in TBO and give their entries a point deduction

Would it be fair to close the confirmation period earlier than previously stated, I read Silas' post with the '24 hours' just belonging to the pushing it back comment but I'm probably wrong. Anyway Math, could you maybe just do it a couple of hours earlier on the Sunday (so maybe 12pm your time and 5pm UK time) so then it's all done before your meeting?

I somehow lost my list of people who didn't vote last time :kink: Sorry about that, I'll remove Qassandra once a final decision has been made.

 

and Ryan, I just wanted to let you know that while the meeting runs from 7-9 UK time it takes 45 minutes each way to get there.

I don't have the first clue what to send to this one :( :cry:

I wasn't entirely clear. I assumed that Math was referring to the end of voting in the Semi's and Finals rather than the end of confirmation. By the time we veto everything there is no point in setting a set time to launch the start of the Semi's
