So ive entered 4 challenges recently, two are still in progress and the authors are working hard on the entries, the other two the deadlines have expired and the authors have gone AWOL.... annoying much. Is there anything that can be done about This? I'm obv not the only person affected by these people cutting and running but it does make you think twice about bothering.
Nevertheless, you raise an important point and I too in the past have been subject to the never ending challenge that just ends up being ‘cancelled’ by the originator. I think all successor posts in said instance should be binned. With ref to my previous comment, this is not an abuse of the comments system and you have raised a good subject, so I shall upvote! Also, from you post history and following your work - you clearly rely on build talent which you deserve more praise for!
I think there’s a tendency in some instances, for a challenge to be posted with the sole intention of gathering points. Likewise I think some players post far too many comments for the sole purpose of accelerating their point score. I think at this point mods should intervene and just say “what is the point of this challenge/comment other than farming points?” - and subsequently remove the post. Forgive me for sounding blunt.
If it's not that of a hassle you can join this :P. And by this I mean mine lol (no self advertising intended)
