As you can all tell there has been a huge out roar about how the moderators handled the beta competition.. they are acting like we all should have known about being able to add images to there picture. i was there on the first day of the beta competition and there was no statement saying you could add images to the picture. it was later edited into the first post stating that you could add pictures.. now how many people that have already read the instructions going to read it every time they post? just the first day of this weeks competition and its already at 20 pages.. the moderators are going around locking all these threads talking about there mistake, why would they do that if they didn't feel as if they were in the wrong? should have just waited till the new weeks picture competition to change rules. thanks for screwing 3/4 of us over. you sure do know how to cut back on people participating in your program, i am one of them now.. i realize im only one person but, now-a-days 1 person can contact a few hundred within a couple minutes so i would watch how many more fans of yours you guys piss off.
The rules were to add a Captions....the winner didn't even add a Caption....
Is there anything left to say?...I feel like they made me, and many other ppl, waste our time and hopes to just give it to a random person (or mybe a friend) that didn't even follow the rules.
And im not saying this cuz i didn't win, if i lose to a fair entry i wouldnt mind.. but this is unfair in every way, and not only for me.
Better luck to you in the next contest! The winner was chosen and that's that. There's no going back and no point complaining about it. Thread closed.
Yes, there is a point in complaining...we call it justice. When autoritie does something that is not fair, ppl must complain and do somthing to change it...not just sit and watch. I know its a private forum, and they do what they want with their keys, but its also a matter of respect, if you make a contest with rules then at least follow them to chose the winner... Im not asking to remove the winner, he has not the fault, and he alredy has the beta anyway... But there should be a second winner at least, one that actualy did follow the rules.
KID grow up, you lost, yes you are entitled to your opinion about the contest, but in doing so in this matter only makes you look like a complete little shit that if he doesnt get his way throws a little fit. The world is unfair pal, "injustice" exists, but unfortunately so do little turds like you.
To be fair I looked @ your entries, the unicorn one was definately in my top 10, but so was the Charlie Brown one to be completely honest.
I said from the start. It's just wrong leaving a Beta key award to the judgement of 3-4 people's sense of humor. A simple lottery draw would've been sufficient. Now these topics will never end. Especially after being get disappointed from the second draw as well.

instinct.. go to the first beta competion and look at the rules.. then punch yourself for being a troll
Generally if something is not forbidden in the free world, it is allowed. It is a contest of creativity and that automatically includes pushing the envelope. A caption could've won the contest just alike, so there was no disadvantage to the people that didn't read the first post that included detailed how-to and mentioned that obviously adding other things besides speech bubbles is allowed.
and please look closer at the first contest post. you will see it was edited, and that pictures were aloud was added. no one goes back and reads it. im not Raging here im simply telling moderators that they messed up and they need to accept this. a simple apology from them would make alot of us happier just a recognition that they screwed the pooch. i like the winners post i was laughing for a good 2 minutes when i seen it. however rules are rules, you cant just change them in the middle of a game.

You insult me and i am the kid??...sure.
Thnx for your opinion anyway, thats what forums are for, not for closing threads the moment they are made...and i guess you wouldnt mind if someon comes and rapes you, since life is not always fair, and seems like "groing up" is not caring about it.

No one said that adding a pic was wrong...the problem is that it didnt have a captions, when it was a caption contest....it should have a caption and a pic if you want, or just a captions...but not only a pic and no caption.
Whatever you want to call it, they have been doing you a service. Mistakes or not, it ends there. If you're not going to say thanks, pointing finger is really disrespectful.

Im 99.9% sure some part of the contest is based on pure random chance (I saw many entries that cracked me up a helluva lot more than the winner).
BUT the point is its over and at least there giving everyone another chance. So put your brain cap on and start thinking up of hilarious captions or pictures or whatever... just get back in the game.

You're a guest here, and you're whining about a mistake that changes nothing but you feel it does, because you lost.

Nowhere does it state that adding things other than speech bubbles disqualifies entrants.
Besides, people are complaining that the winning entry did not have a caption, where as the caption was actually there, merely implied (and built as a joke on the Great Pumpkin).

Good luck everyone. I hope to see some good ones!
edit: and as I see people asking now, yes, you can "add" things to it other than text.

kids.. kids.. learn what a debate is..
im obviously not pissed i didnt win the beta because if i cared that much i would be working on new contest pictures right now.. however with them adding rules in the middle of the contest and allowing as many posts from one user, there is no point in competing. witch is why i sit here DEBATING with everyone so that the "administrators" can see that we all want this changed. so its more fair for everyone. no one took debating class's in school eh?
