i think this is how it goes...if you've looked at the poser "hot 20" during the last 3 months, you will have noticed that some of the newer folks got there by "stuffing". i guess when legume took over the hot 20 he set a new "stuffing" precedent 'round here, that was copied and used by some of the newer folks coming to this site. okay, now, from what i am gathering, this "stuffing" procedure also was allowed, and used for the aom contest. again...staff allowed that. now, the finals...the aoy contest. midstream, admins changed the rules. i hate stuffing. i have been angered a time or two at what has happened to the poser hot 20. however, the site allowed it, and, that was that. as usual, i had no say. now, midstream in the final contest the "stuffing" is disallowed. i sure hope that applies to all stuffing all over this place. i understand how legume and mosca could be upset. you don't change the rules midstream, even if a non stuffing rule is beneficial.
