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.
