hmm didn't know that but honestly i don't see that as a concern and here's why. even the most popular thread posts only have like 11 likes. so 5 entries probably wouldn't even get to 100 by end of poll. majority rules is fair enough i would like to a vote poll maxed out then maybe go to likes. there is the option of a locked thread with the entries and csn like only.is that possible? but that would involve a mod which i would like to avoid.
Ok the last contest we did we had like 200 people involved participating.
contests even just for bragging rights fly through the roof. it needs to be neat and organized.

If you go over the poll amount than its more work for the person who does it because not only do they have to count likes they have to count poll as well, than other users will be confused as to why they are not on the poll, or who to vote for or how the voting is.

with people you have to make it plain simple and clear , or else its just confusion.

Almost all of our contests are done by mods, they are suggestions by users, and a mod does it. simply because i know in 4 months ill still be here but said user may not on their own will, or they may fall sick ect
that will leave the users upset if there is no winner, ive seen user contests go bad due to this exact reason.

Again i suggest
and I will do it because it will be fun
1 thread per month, people submit 1 photo they may enter details of the plant

First post will explain rules,
such as
this is just for bragging rights, contest will end january 31st 11:59, thread will be locked.
1 photo entry with details
no chit chat just photo submissions.

To vote click like , user with most likes will be declared the winner by the next day we will start over again

The thread will have details on how to post photos , ect. so there is no confusion or help needed or random chatter on the thread.
It will be clean and simple and clear and I can start it today if you guys would like , and since it will be the first we can extend it until january 31st 11:59:59 pm

no you pushed that button when you mentioned 'fighting'. nobody else is working with you. excellent point on user presence...what i did was limit entries. first 5 entries with a 1 week time limit entries sent via private message. then opened a poll. those that didn't make deadline used image in next SotW. that's also why i asked about rules, does the plant have to be alive, how to prove? i can see it getting messy and defer to your exp. honestly i haven't had one malevolent cell in my body this whole time.

but if you limit it to 5 its unfair. people will complain. they will get a upset they argue, they will message me endlessly about how a user is doing a contest and its unfair they only picked 5 people because there wasnt enough chance for them to get in because so and so and christmas and their child was sick and they didnt see the post and the thread and blah blah blah blah
im just giving an example of how it would be ,

All im doing is brainstorming the base of the contest, not the rules or regulations just the base way it should be because it will probably work out for the best like this which is again:
1 photo per person, with details on plant.
no chit chat in the thread just photo submissions
user with most likes wins , contest ending at the end of the month at 11:59pm.
likes totaled , user declared winner
repeat.

Chances are a bud of the month would be more suited, rather than plant because you will get idiot trolls who post a little seedling since technically that is a plant.

if i may i would rather have PotM. BotM will almost always lean towards elite growers with perhaps rare strains or 20lbs to choose from. PotM would be more inclusive, indoor, outdoor, novice growers proud of their plant regardless of end result.

Edit. It's just an extra clone I didn't need I didn't want to kill it so I threw it outside 2 weeks ago..I'm surprised it's still alive...
