So where does that leave the clubs that have mods in them ?? Which is a lot of them
[WINNERS] A Haunting Party
- Thread starter QUINN
- Start date
It’s fine you can go back to normal
Congratulations to all the winners and participants.
After further discussion, we decided to bring to your kind knowledge that there were 10 judges in this competition and all of their inputs have been taken into account. We had a thorough judging form and calculated the results based on it.
The final winner was chosen with everyone’s judging taken into account regardless of which club they were in or had close friends in.
Mod contests are normally judged with such rules in place to avoid bias. We also had judge favorites to allow more clubs to win prizes and they were also picked fairly.
Here are the average scores of all clubs involved for transparency.
We hope everyone can celebrate the contest and the winners as a form of teamwork with the Halloween spirit.

^-^A club you created won, so maybe it's easier to be positive in that situation. Also a mod choosing a club they're in as a personal favorite and guaranteeing it wins is the definition of biasIt’s life. There will always be some bias situation. I think this contest was great because it helped uniting clubs and make them be stronger. It’s not always about the prize. Stay positive. And Happy Halloween
What does false in this means?Congratulations to all the winners and participants.

All the ones marked “true” are clubs that were picked either as a personal favorite or as the main winners. So “false” would be all the clubs that weren’t picked for either.
It probably just helped them mark the winners so they could locate the names quicker.

THIS is how you announce winners
Not just writing "hey all, these clubs won thx!". Hope next contests in forums are as transparent as this from the get-go and not just at the end of the event.Congratulations once again for everyone who worked together

all of the participating club are cautiously preparing their walls, participants, best avi to wear, even think of the unthinkable scary tags of the participating member. not to mention coordinating with whole member who also hops here and there.. stop thinking so shallow and salty about the favouritism. theres no such a thing as that lmao tf

Each mod got to pick their own personal favorite and that club was awarded a mod crate. So it was literally a guaranteed win lmao. Pretty ignorant to act like favoritism doesn't exist when someone awarded their own club. Also concerning to see Quinn supporting people like you and having no problem with this. Just encouraging the bias"guaranteeing" lmfao theres no such a thing like that.

Hey Folks,
I understand theres been frustration around how this contest has been run.
I appreciate the folks involved for taking a chance on doing something new and different, and a bit of messiness is an unfortunate downside to trying something new.
I've seen the concerns regarding the overall judging of the contest and reviewed the voting schemes and how the main winners were decided, and I don't see cause for concern there based on how votes were tallied and calculated. But I have heard and seen the issues with the Mod Picks section, where some folks picked their own clubs, or clubs they are closely related to (friends/RS) etc. which I agree is unfair.
As this was not clearly stipulated in the contest I can understand if there was confusion for the mods in question, but we do have a duty to ensure fairness as moderators and make these judgements ourselves if we think something would be unfair, and that judgement was not used here. The mods in question will not be participating in future contest judging for the next 3 months, and if we are to run a similar contest to this in future we will be adjusting the rules to make sure nothing like this happens again in the future.
There were certainly some learnings here with the new contest type, like explaining the marking scheme in advance would be helpful for all, and I do appreciate the team for trying out something new and for all those that participated here.
Let's remember this is all supposed to be about fun and fairness, so let's make sure we all come into contests like this with the best intentions.
Happy Halloween folks and thanks for your patience while I got involved here
