So I guess not many people have been monitoring contests, so a few closed ones are still open. As a result, new people are posting in contests that ended literally months ago.

Closed contests:

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/43790-contest-for-30-bp-stop-posting-forever : ended weeks ago with KingKloskowski as the winner.

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/45375-contest-for-1-bp-to-get-the-big-give-peen-since-they-changed-the-value-of-bp-and-now-that-peen-is-super-cheap : Over, and didn’t even get Big Give. Log in to see images!

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/45192-friendship-reconsidered?page=2#dp_737946 : Two days have pbumed, so by definition this one is over.

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/45334-who-wants-to-run-the-carol-contest-200bp : CrinkzPipe won, and the contest is literally going on now. This just lazy.

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/44758-stroke-my-ego-105bp : scully won.

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/45250-it-s-a-monday-and-i-m-bored-make-me-happy-3bp : Cmon, I did this.

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/45122-i-m-bored-entertain-me-and-i-ll-give-you-10-bp-tonight : Also closed, BP sent and all.

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/44084-zombie-contest-for-45-bp : There is no debate this is closed.

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/33756-the-anti-contest-for-150-bp-revised-edition : Failed contest, only entrant was permabanned.

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/44362-halloween-mini-contest-for-45-bp-help-jb-come-up-with-a-half-bumed-costume : OH, COME ON! This is a mod contest! Aww man…

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/43340-lockerz-random-brownie-giveaway-contest : Lockerz… ew. Also, over.

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/43660-make-a-transcript-for-episode-3-podcast-90-bp : The transcript’s even on the wiki.

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/42916-lolcat-contest-for-a-pitiful-15bp : burningpopsicles was toxxed.

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/29160-105bp-girlz-post-your-noodz-for-tam-or-doodz-get-your-chick-to-post-noodz?page=1 CLOSED CLOSED CLOSED

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/41817-draw-a-comic-contest-for-fifteen-browny-point another perfectly done contest that ended a while ago.

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/19694-contest-15bp-make-me-an-avatar?page=1 : bp was sent and everything.

Up in the air:

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/45224-want-some-quick-bp-or-just-a-few-bp-shy-of-buying-your-desired-forumwarz-add-on-well-all-you-schlobs-just-come-on-in-here?page=2 : Says he’ll buy more bp, but this contest is already a mess and its been a while. I doubt this one is coming back.

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/44419-solve-a-puzzle-win-15-bp : End of the contest was reached and no one completed the thing. Only one person came close.

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/44197-jalapeno-bootyhole-incit-reform-win-up-to-45-bp?page=1 : End date pbumed, not sure if BP was received.

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/43634-contest-ghost-story-30-bp : Another one where the prize is up in the air as awarded but the end date has long pbumed.

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/43943-make-me-laugh-with-pictures-45bp : End date pbumed. I think this guy died or something.

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/30490-wikipedia-contest-for-15bp : over, but who got bp?

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/43167-a-special-delivery-for-jalapeno-bootyhole : JB got all mad over this and messed it up. Dunno what happened.

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/39559-win-15-bp-and-help-make-me-famous : Date pbumed.

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/38014-cubing-contest : Date pbumed.

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/32811-how-well-do-you-really-know-context-contest-15-bp?page=1 : Context hasn’t moved it along in forever.

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/30953-grey-goose-mafiosi-presents-the-sound-of-forumwarz?page=1 : Date pbumed (?) by Robok’s quote.

http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/28833-post-a-shock-image-i-ve-never-seen-before-for-15-bp?page=3 : though I’m p sure Xylon won.

Tbh, this is a lot of work, though if they were all closed as soon as they were done… I dunno. In my opinion, CZ might give some serious thought to a contest-only mod, since contests have become such a big part of the community.

Yo’ man dont steal my thing.

I’ve done this a couple times in the past, there are still ones I pointed out my last time I did it(i think, would have to look again) that are STILL not resolved.

I’ve even caught mods not closing their OWN contests. Log in to see images!

Anyway, CrinkzPipe for contest forum mod ‘09 etc etc, thanks for saving me the trouble of saving the mods the trouble.

Trying to create drama to drum up the ratings by any means necessary!

Modding generally has some relatively tedious jobs. But of all the tedium, closing contests is perhaps the greatest (even more than closing auctions). Even with the lists, mods need to verify what’s in the list, which means examining the contests looking for the “BP received” post which often isn’t there.

That’s why the forum and the lists don’t always get acted on.

To be REALLY helpful, you’d have to either also link to the post where the winner said “BP received”, or if there’s not one, get the winner to report the contest OP saying they got paid.

At least that’s what I’d want if I was a mod.

What about when the mods are sitting in IDC talking? Or when they are making tons of posts in RP? I thought this is why we have so many mods, so the work COULD stay caught up?

Hell, as a regular user I can usually find the “bp sent” post within a few seconds.

Eh, maybe there is a bunch more behind-the-scenes things than I thought, but just seems like the contest forum is just avoided until us regular users point out how it needs cleaned up.

I can’t address that Log in to see images!

I would suggest mods discuss among themselves who’s going to handle what, and some of them take some responsibility for those forums. But if they’re doing other things, as I was, regularly, well, I had to pick and choose the responsibilities I’d handle vs. those I’d let slide.

TBH, cleaning up the contests forum is probably at the bottom of the “to do” list. Is there tons of **** to keep us busy? Eh, it’s off an on. Lately, mostly not a whole hell of a lot. However, you know how you (the users) **** about the tedium of 1-2-1-2? Make that about 50 thousand times more tedious and that’s what it’s like going through the contest forum.

The list of stuff that’s obviously done is easy, even if tedious. And the last cleanup thread that you posted has all of those cleaned up. The ones where things aren’t so obvious are really a pain in the bum. I need to hunt through the thread and find out of anything’s been paid. If I can’t find it, I need to tubmail the user and hope they reply. That gets old really damned fast and that’s where I tend to run out of steam.

That said, we don’t get paid to do this. I don’t see why we should have to curtail whatever parts of the site we each consider fun to take care of a never-ending list of things that bore us to tears. That doesn’t mean completely neglecting the tedium and crap tasks that none of us want to do, but I can’t support your idea of not taking part in other areas on the site until something like this is done.

If you want a quick clean-up, I’m going to suggest McB’s solution of linking to the post where it says it’s been paid out. If you make it that easy for me, I’ll take care of cleaning things up – even if it’s only a few threads at a time.
