Valentiones Contest ( and contests in general)

[Aethaeryn]

You accused someone of cheating based entirely on your own ignorance.

Those are the rules right there, but if you take the time to browse through the lists of those chosen, it would appear that SE is not following their own rules.

...

So I'd like to know how exactly these things are judged for one and do you the community think it's fair?

For all she knows, people may have just not paid attention to the rules (this happens with every contest in the history of ever), but I don't see her accusing anyone of cheating. I don't think this was intended to be a witch hunt.

I doubt she's the only one who feels this way either after that entry with the 5fps haukke manor cutscenes for the FC video contest. And yes, I know they were the only submission for that server blahblah. I'm sure a lot of people are still wary about entering the contests after that.
