I think a great idea is to have the poster and votes hidden with public comments.
that way if you have a suggestion on how to fix something, EVERYONE can see it... other wise the votes and artists aren't shown till the end of the contest. thus you get the best of both worlds.
theres still obv flaws with this... IE pm'ing someone saying take a look at this... or please vote for me yada yada. but it would be more fair I think.

At some point before my time, it used to be like that. Comments could be seen, but not the authors of the comments nor the artist's name--until the contest had closed. Someone brought up a very old competition once where Chicken is seen as having an argument with himself in the comments--and HE was also the artist, of course!

Quote: Hint of the Day:
participants of anon contests must give a minimum of votes (ten for example) or Finestcall get a -1 in the score.
Let's start punishing people, that would do.
For some of us -1 could be the kiss of death 
But why chose me, i have low score anyways and the fun would end soon. Marco has a higher score so the fun would last longer.

Hey if there are 25 entries that deserve to win... then I will of course use all my votes on an anon contest... but I really really don't want to see a great idea thats poorly executed win, just cause I thought hey thats a great idea, or damn that was funny, yet its not executed well....
esp during prize contests when no one knows how many votes they already have. I dont want to be the vote that puts it ahead of something more deserving of a prize.
thats why I vote the way I do during those contests. It also evens out the playing field since I make sure to look at the recent posts on the 3rd day to see what they've come up with and I have the votes to spend if need be. ...and 8 times out of 10, the votes I gave out are the ones in the top spots.

then my choice would be not to vote at all. It seldom happens i give out more then 10 votes

Good example of how ppl withhold votes during a non-Anon comp. Mason isn't a regular chopper...not a regular VOTER either. How many votes do ya think a chop this fine would get if he was a regular voter name?

...makes no sense to me at all

I totally agree with you Eve.
When I first saw this entry, I thought for sure it was going to run away with first.

I am feeling that Eve, and Jim, it makes not to much sense at all why Mase's is so far back in 3rd

I never complain about my personal low votes.. My entries either are liked or not. I'm talking about the low rate of votes in comparsion to open contests, yes 3 votes in 15 minutes in the beginning of a contest IS low..
probably a caching issue.

Nice advert for any new members looking at the site.
If you didn't care about votes, you wouldn't have started this thread.
That's pretty harsh eve.. Just want people to participate. And my prize is unopened cause I'm a mac user and my program came PC related so, blame the mods. Don't know why you have to be like this, probably hate me still from that eskimo entry, too bad.
