creampie
creampie aka krissy is a girl, has been a member since March 22, 2007, has scored 227 submissions, giving an average score of 3.48, helping 3 designs get printed.
This is a serious suggestion regarding the Revolution! Loves contest.

Since the scores should not matter in this contest, and the best design might not have mass appeal (to the "food with faces" type voters), it follows that the "1.5 rule" should be deactivated, just for this contest. It would be a disservice if a really cool submission got overlooked because not enough people who "get" design saw this before it was dropped.

Hopefully one of you will see this. I am posting in the blogs instead of emailing, because I'm sure your faithful community may have some thoughts on the subject.

but there are some shitty subs out there.

yeah Monkey has a point. Usually if subs get dropped it isn't because they are too ahead of their time; it's 'cause they just plain suck.

I concur. Tis a good idea.

No doubt - this will mean a stay of execution for some bonafide craptacular submissions.

There are a lot of really crappy submissions that would clog up the voting.

i don't know. I don't think that's entirely necessary. I think that the judges of the contest should overlook score for the most part though.. they know design. And if the design is good, it should be somewhat attractive.. and pass the 1.5 rule.

makes sense to a degree, but one still wonders if they would really print a design that they know almost no one wants to buy.

A design could completely polarize voters. If 4 out of 5 vote ZERO and the other person votes $5, it would get dropped early, even though that's a significant enough vote to sell out.

even if it gets dropped early it doesn't get deleted and can still be considered to win.

has a dropped design ever been printed?

oh that's good, Skaw, but it will probably still be missed by a lot of people. Oh well I guess I'll play it safe with my entry then.

what do you mean be missed by a lot of people? When you're rating subs they pop up randomly and all usually get a pretty similar ratio of votes, unless some are really amazing they might get a few more.

olie - she means if a design gets dropped it doesn't pop up for scoring, and it doesn't get the full 7 days, hence it'll be missed by more people.

yeh, i'm guessing the judges *cough cough* will look at all of the entries and whether or not they get dropped really won't matter
