Well again,people didn't just start running the gallery contests willy nilly and it seems the blame is now swinging towards those who sponsored the contests or put them together.No one broke any rules and the admin themselves encouraged this...if the TOS were violated it is they who are at fault not any of the members for participating or sponsoring.

All of this could have been avoided if firm action were taken when this started,I tried to get that done and was basically told don't worry about it.No one ignored any rules or TOS against this and I for one have been insulted that I tried to get action done to prevent something like this from happening and now that it has,those who sponsored are either being made to feel they did something wrong or those who participated feel that they shouldn't have.No actual rules were violated...just the interpretation of those rules which were interpreted one way for months and then all of a sudden are interpreted differently which led to these actions.

But the worst part is that this was such a sweeping action that more admin should have been involved...Jeny should not be in this position where she gets blamed if she makes a wrong move,it happens which is why I hope that Jeny understands that the anger expressed should not have been aimed soley at her.

But the past few comments seem to point at the contests being wrong...they weren't when the admins themselves encouraged them and actually refused to take action when concerns were raised early on!!So to Jeny I can only say that if you are correct in your actions I owe you my apologys...its the other admin who knew what was going on and encouraged it that are to blame~but lets not start bashing ourselves or others when we were only doing what they wanted us to do.

There was no reason for the gallery contests,they were confusing to follow and we could have all avoided this had we simply used the contest forum and gallerys established for this...but we were told we didn't have to and the freedom of doing it in the gallerys seemed to catch on.WHO'S FAULT IS THAT?

If the end goal of learning is genius...why are most geniuses failures at learning?
