    Lack of anything new, the same trendwhore'd ---- is entered every week, absolute no effort or creativity put into the sig. You know?, most sigs on GR are like it... [/b][/quote]
    But then something new will be created. It's common sense. Taps head

    BFTP,

    Can't blame you for any of this. You gotta do what you gotta do. It's too bad it had to end up like this and to now have such a long break. But I guess that's what happens when the children on this site still havn't graduated out of their cribs yet, when it comes to gfx. :/

    Hope everything works out soon enough and runs smoother than ever.

    Well the fact is that no matter what we did they will still whine that they didn't win. I bet you anything that after this break, who knows how long it will be, at least one person will complain.

    It's a never ending process.

    I'm sad to see it go, but I can't say I'm surprised. All the Winner threads in the last month or two have had to be closed because people were acting like idiots. Why should the staff go to all the trouble of running SOTW every week if everyone just complains about it?

    I like it the way it is...having an elite group of graphic members would blow harry goats out the ass with a machette. Honestly...SOTW shouldn't be about how complicated or hard a sig is to make. Its about presentation...things that look really good...aren't always complicated and hard. Things that only very experienced users could do...don't always look that good. Something a intermediate user can do will most likely look better than what an experienced user can do depending on their creativity level and/or general presentation of their sig. What I'm trying to get at is that people who aren't experts at graphics should be the ones voting. They vote for what looks better...not whats in style or whats harder to do. Its a GRAPHIC...visual...its what you see so let your eyes judge not your knowledge of how it was made.

    But then people would complain about not being on the team. Maybe you should make it so that contestants can PM then to one person, who will create a poll which you can't post in, only vote (if this is possible). Any other threads relating to the SOTW can be locked, and a 20% warn can be given to the thread starter.

    This type of voting could be bad as well. There are many members who will stoop to the level of voting for themselves from multiple accounts. Many people have 2 or 3 or even 4 accounts.

    Well i think that public voting will be a very bad idea. wiether we want to accept it or not the fact is that people have fans. if one has enough fans they will simply win every week in a row due to the fact that there fans all put forth there vote for this person due to them adoring there work. i understand you said that it will not completely result in the sotw winners. but i must state that if you guys do decide to make a public voting system. atleast 40% of the total result will have to be from the peoples views.

    this giving people that are loved by many a slight advantage over the ones that dont have as many "Fans" also leaving room for the fact of wich if someone has crazy skills but has pissed the comunity off for some reason they will have no chance in the peoples votes. even considering if there entry is one of the top ranking one it could result in the least liked by the community leaving it souly on the judges who decide to still run the sotw with the rest of that staff.

    Now im not exactly sure on how you will be deciding the comunitys percent in the overall winning votes. but those are a few things i myself as a designer worry about for others and for myself.

    Also let me state that the work you guys on the moderating team have done with the sotw's in the past ,and future hopefully, has been incredible. true dedication ;)
