I wasn't commenting on any of the images. This is crazy. So basically rule 5 should be changed from 'No discussion of entries in the thread' to 'No comments at all except the actual entries to be put in the entry thread' or 'Actual entries only, no thread comments' and that way it is perfectly clear, as I have understood it to mean that i can't discuss the individual entries so as not to bias the judging, which I wasn't. It was a comment about the overall standard and to politely let you know that I didn't think I was gonna get an entry. I thought it would be rude not to. I live and learn and apologise again.

I have managed an entry and will finally say you won't hear a peep from me now, apart from to enter and give ups and downs. Mouth is zipped!

My preference would be to keep the competition for entries only.
until it has finished.
As I do not enjoy reading though a load of comments and statements.

This forums comp has been going for ages, it's not for me as a newcomer to really attempt to change things, I'm sure it runs as the majority of the members want it to. I just find the lack of chit chat about the comp very dis-interesting compared to the 3 other forums I belong to, but that's because I'm a natural chatterbox anyway. Nothing draws me here between comp theme being announced until voting is set up which is a shame.

Just a word of support for John without (I hope) levelling any antagonism towards DD. I too am a member of several other sites, all of which run competitions and all in a slightly different way. The only common denominator is that none of them are chat shows. I have joined such sites, but promptly left.

I've been here for about 8 years now and have stayed because it is friendly, understated and boasts a wide range of skills amongst the members; plus... there is no hint of the FaceBook mentality of telling everyone that you have done the ironing or are fed up with pizza. I'm hoping it can continue in that vein and not be dumbed down by non-essential and irrelevant comments.

I'm sorry, DD, the site you quote is not for me.

Graham

It's horses for courses. As I said the other week, Im still not sure here is for me. I have realised that my 'way' is not the people here's way and I either accept it or move away. We all settle where we are comfy. Im not hurt, upset or angry at anything anyone has said.
