No input is better than input you've been told to give.


We give it because that's what we want, not because that's what we've been told to do. ngirl made this topic because she knows it's what we want, not because it's what she wants us to do.

If you want more contests, petitioning me is unnecessary. Petition CBS Interactive and let them know.


But we'll work on that.

If you're going to do these types of surveys and want a response that reflects the general view of the site as a whole, why not put said survey on the front page then? <.<

-I don't have control over when we can and cannot have a contest as the prizes don't come out of my pocket. I hold contests as often as I can and I very frequently ask for the approval to have a new one. When I get the okay, I make one. If you want more contests, petitioning me is unnecessary. Petition CBS Interactive and let them know.


Hm, I see

Do we really need the material prizes, though? I mean yeah, they're tradition, but <_<

It's not even that.

If you want to have prizes, but CBS won't approve it, why not something related to the site, like a private board/some karma/whatever?

So since Bacon's only real argument was 'I don't pay for prizes' should we all change our feedbacks to "More Site Contests without prizes" or "More Site Contests with Karma/Private Board prizes"?

Honestly, I'd probably prefer karma/private board prizes to a monetary prize. It's not like the prize itself is all that much cash. The karma or private board would have a lot more long running value, at least sentimentally, IMO.

Well, Bacon did start doing Karma prizes last year for those who aren't prize eligible or who just want to go for the Karma.

But if we had a contest with just Karma prizes, that'd be fine. It honestly doesn't even need to be a full-blown contest. It can be something like the Top 10 Games mini-contest we had back in 2005.

Done, told him profile add-ons might be nice, like the option to add a picture or a better description. Also suggested (although I have no clue how) to find a way to limit and/or mark alternate accounts.

Oh yea, said a new contest would be nice too. All fictional or anything at all. Just a bracket to bring new users into the boards.

Because Allen announced that the whole ToU is getting overhauled and made less draconian already.

which will not help at all with the "moderators are snarky unpleasant people" problem. of course when the admin of the site accuses a board of being a hive mind that does what it's told, I suppose it'd be pretty silly to complain!

It's impossible for anything but '' Do a Barrel Roll ! '' to win, few quotes have the meme status.

There is :

Do a Barrel Roll !
All your base are belong to us
Can't let you do that Star Fox
What is a man?

I think those 4 are the major ones.

Since Allen's argument about the contests not being up to him makes sense, I'm changing my feedback to "Remove RaptorLC".

Seems most optimal.

it makes sense if having prizes is a prerequisite for having a contest, but i feel like the people who want the contest don't even care about the prize
