Posted June 30, 200916 yr A moderately important announcement will be made at some point in the next 9 hours :dance:
June 30, 200916 yr and hopefully some rules about how many times can artists be used :heehee:...for example 2 times per 10 contest
June 30, 200916 yr and hopefully some rules about how many times can artists be used :heehee:...for example 2 times per 10 contest You'd be screwed then, after La Roux's already been sent twice :lol:
June 30, 200916 yr You'd be screwed then, after La Roux's already been sent twice :lol: the rule shall be in effect after XX :P anyway if just one more country declares that is pissed off that I have sent La Roux, Botanikka people are so nice that they will change their artist/song...I don't wanna be a contest kill-mood for no one.
June 30, 200916 yr and hopefully some rules about how many times can artists be used :heehee:...for example 2 times per 10 contest :blink: WTF? Pointless rule much?
June 30, 200916 yr the rule shall be in effect after XX :P anyway if just one more country declares that is pissed off that I have sent La Roux, Botanikka people are so nice that they will change their artist/song...I don't wanna be a contest kill-mood for no one. I don't care what artists people send; if they're sent every contest I wouldn't particularly care.. As this is 'Buzzjack Song Contest' the artist plays no role in whether I give the song points or not.
June 30, 200916 yr Hopefully there won't be any rule restricting what songs people send... would get a bit confusing tbh. I reckon there'll be another moderator myself. :magic:
June 30, 200916 yr the MODERATE in the title makes me think of a new mod, but it'll just be the new 55+ countries rule lolz. OOF THE EXCITEMENT.
June 30, 200916 yr Author Yeah, global mods etc. already know :lol: ANYWAY, for the moderately important announcement. We at the BJSC regret having to take such a measure as this, but given several factors, we have decided to place a three-month restriction on participation in the contest. By this, we mean that, in order to participate, as of XIX, people who have not been members of BuzzJack for at least three months will not be permitted to participate in the BJSC. This does not apply to anybody who participates in XVIII. Our reasons for taking this decision are primarily twofold. Firstly, under the current system aliases are fairly easy to set up within the contest - for this reason, NinaNoo, an alias of Liam (a.k.a. Fortunia, who are currently permabanned from participation in the contest), has been expelled from the contest - and fairly hard to track (there is solid proof that NinaNoo is an alias of Liam, despite having a different e-mail address and IP), therefore we hope that this measure will repel all but the saddest of potential aliases, in combination with the waiting list proposal which we hope to implement when necessary. Given that far more often than not people who join up almost immediately upon joining BuzzJack have tended to be aliases, this measure makes a lot of sense. Secondly, the contest is currently at risk of growing too large for its own good, and it is only serving to make it more and more overcrowded by allowing people to just join up as soon as they join the forum, which also can potentially lead to abandonment - i.e. someone joining up on impulse and then completely forgetting about the contest. By requiring three months to demonstrate that the potential contestant has a commitment to BuzzJack, we eliminate the potential for 'dead' countries, as well as those who will likely provide more activity for the forum rather than just those who would dip in and out of the contest only to vote etc. :P I hope there aren't many objections to this proposal? We wish to stress that, in cases where we can see that neither of these problems are likely (for example, Deandria joined up fairly immediately as a friend of Dalisska and have gone on to become active members of the community as well as not being aliases :P) we will permit participation, however this will probably be rare and only occur in cases where friends are joining up and we can see that they obviously aren't just aliases - I'm thinking of Torchwood/JRK-off here, or Dalisska/Deandria ^_^
