Formal Response Part Dos:
Next time you want to troll (and we all know it won't be long...) it may be helpful to actually read and comprehend the post you're responding to. Another tip... When writing novels on forums it's usually considered good etiquette to offer a tl;dr version.

Tl;dr: lol

So much for keeping quiet.


There are no explicit written rules about not advertising who you are in the anonymous contests in the rules section.[b]

Thanks for linking to it, that was an excercise in "Did not do the research"

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DidNotDoTheResearch

That section is more like a Q and A and it doesn't cover revealing yourself in an anonymous contest.

In fact there's no rule about actually using the source in your chop, how about that for a slice of wtf.

There's an oblique reference but not an explicit statement that: you must use the source.

Seems a bit odd tbh.

dude - I wouldn't sweat it. you're a great chopper none-the-less, and I don't think it's cheating - nor do I think you had any malice of forethought. I'm sure all the n00bs pm each other for votes anyhow. (jk!)

Hey Marx



Yes, you are right about it being more Q & A...

They should be updated.

you don't need to use source in your chop. there are several examples of winning images that don't use any source - yet use the source as more of a template and call on the 'spirit' of the source.

rules schmools anyhow - i prefer a gentler, kinder, more funnerer, psc.

#what a masterplan! all that stupid guys think you are jesus now! congratulations!
damn, this action has been so fu**in planned, like a wedding!!!


the real problem is, that you cried like a little pussy, when TJ had talked about an open contest, and now you do the same!




so administrator, please lock this thread and open it later again... thx!

we're discussing an entry that is not in any contest... how is this supposed to be discussing an open contest???

you confuse me...

And yes... I plan everyday ways of losing money. You're right, Einstein...

Like I need an example of an entry that doesn't use any source, I only painted the worm chop last week ya know.

*ahem* I did say WINNING images, didn't I?

E-Gad

"What are the rules for anonymous contests?

Anonymous contests are the same as other daily contests, except that the identities of both authors and voters are hidden. In anonymous contests, you must maintain the anonymity of your entry both on and off site until the contest is over. Your entry itself, its title, and/or its description should not reveal who you are and any links you provide in the description (i.e. a link to your external sources) should also maintain that anonymity. Any comments you make in the contest should follow suit. Additionally, you should not attempt to share entries (for the purpose of securing votes or not) outside of PSC during anonymous contests, as this could reveal your identity to potential voters. Any evidence of an infraction of these rules may lead to the removal of your entry, at the discretion of site admin and moderators."




Was the rules updates since you posted?

yeah Tad... but these rules were posted TODAY, as well as the share button was removed from anonymous contests...

edit: oh... I see you edited your post... what happened to the "I didn't have time to use huge letters to highlight the rule?" part of it?

Help page was slightly revised and some updates took place to the faq this morning (10am GMT+1 zone).

Prior to august 2011 you've made 10 forum posts, none of them even mention the slightest thing about the rules

he said he's been saying it, not writing it...
