The level of contests in the forums is rising rapidly, but it can take days, maybe weeks, to notify a mod and ask for a merit prize, then it can take a few more weeks just to receive that prize. But that shouldn't be the way contests should be.
I think that there should be a seperate branch in the AG staff devoted completely to contest moderation, since we don't get very much of it.
Contest mods CAN: -Only moderate threads that they or other contest mods create. -Award merit prizes to winners of contests created by contest mods. -Only create contests that are worth the prize and actually take skill to win. -Type in a different color than green or blue or standard black. -Create contests in any section they like.
Contest Mods CANNOT: -Ban People. -Stick Threads. -Abuse their power. -Moderate in threads not made by other contest mods.
Just a little idea I came up with. I'm sure it's already been suggested, but I didn't really look. What do you guys think?
And feel free to alter any of the things I said if they don't seem right. Like I say, it's merely a thought.
honestly idk why everyone is makeing such a big deal over it... i agree with the idea but we also need more regualar moderators then to... since all the reg mods cant handle the contests and spam and stuff then i think that we need that fixed...
also, its a fair enough idea to be considerd by an admin good idea ernie!
It would mean more people would participate in those contests, because everyone knows pokemon at least a little, and they would be able to participate even though they don't like it, but deep inside they do.
