Separate Section for Set Contests

[tina21]

Can we have a separate section for Set Contests in the Contests Sub-Forum?
Like how we got the Auction in the One Stop Shop...

It's kinda overwhelming to look for another type of Contest with all the "Sets" one going around...

I would support 100% that option. It's especially true these days when the set contests make 2 out of 3 contests.....

Sometimes set contests get some very misleading names as well... I've clicked on a few thinking it was a fun new game and then been disappointed.

It'd be nice if the set contests could have their own section. :3

Ditto There are lots and lots of graphic contest so the little non graphic ones get lost sometimes.

The one contest rule is there because in the past people have opened contests and then kept changing the end date so that they would not have to distribute the large prizes they said they would pay when the contest ended, while having smaller contests at the same time to get rep.

There is only 4 pages for the contest section so its not that difficult to search them, but you CAN bump your thread if your contest gets pushed to the 2nd or 3rd page, just don't bump everyday.

And the Auctions have their own section in one stop shops because posts are not counted there and auctions do not count as one of your three allowed threads for one stop shop.

still though, and maybe it's me being difficult or sth, when I see in the first posts of the 1st page 4 out of 5 being Set Contests I lose my will for anything else, and the 1 contest rule doesn't need to change... if they have a thread in Graphics Section then they can't have one in the other.....

How about this:
I know we have an Exhibition Hall forum but to me, it feels like it's only for drawing and stuff.
Why can't we include more graphics like sig/set/wallpaper making there as well?
And even put contests there.

Something like that...

I would also support that idea.
ANd I don't think it would interfere with the one thread rule. you can only have one contest at a time whether it is a graphic one or not is completely indifferetn.
I only see a problem with the huge contests that are a combination of graphic and ff contest for example.
Where yould you put those?

[Erotic Devil]

Ooo, sweet, I support this idea too.
I'm losing track on what contest is what now.

[Artemis Moonsong]

I support this, definitely

AND I wonder if we could change the "only hold one contest at a time" rule.

As for me, I like to change my set about once a month. I absolutely can't make my own sets, so that means I have to hold a graphics contest that lasts 2-3 weeks out of every month. That leaves about 1 week per month for "other" contests

I think we'd see a lot more "other" contests if people asking for sets were also allowed to hold one "OTHER" contest at the same time.

For example, while I'm running my set contest, I could also run a quick "Guess Who" or "Scavenger Hunt" or what-have-you contest
