- Too many being pinned, which causes the main page of the Community Chat to get reduced down to 2/3. This in turn causes a lot of regular threads to quickly get bumped to the 2nd page.
- Seems a lot of the rules for these events aren't thought out very well and causes the event host to change the rules midway when entries have already been submitted. People got upset because their entries became disqualified because the rules were not set in stone.
- Inconsistent judging makes people not want to enter because even if they did follow the rules, their entries wouldn't win on the basis of the judge's personal preference and not the rules themselves.
Event hosts need to think their events more thoroughly. Now that we have an events subforum containing all past events, there's no excuse to not look through them and see what works and what doesn't in terms of rules. You can't keep changing the rules while accepting entries, it's not fair to the participants who submitted before the rules were changed.
Judging should be done on the basis of the rules, not by personal preference. It's not fair to those who followed the rules, but another entry that didn't got picked anyways because the judge liked it more.
