I was in a meeting with Builderman this morning and we decided that fixing the ROBLOX building contest system should be a top priority for us. I need to come up with a redesign that will address several problems users are experiencing with the contest system.
Some problems with the current contest system:
* All the winning places end up looking the same
* A lot of the entries are off topic / empty baseplates / or just plain bad
* It's not fun to visit the places you are voting on, so people judge based on the thumbnails alone
* People hate it when the winner of a "castle building contest" just found the best-looking castle in free models and arranged a nice screenshot of it
We're up for doing a total redesign of the whole system - I was wondering if any had any good suggestions for how to modify the system to make it work better.
The one constraint we have is that we do *not* have the resources to provide for any sort of manual judging by human moderators. All judging must be done by players or by computer algorithm, or some combo.
The more specific your ideas, the better! |

"Ban PlayingGod already Telamon!"

I lol'd. |

Yeah, if you were to tell us maybe a few weeks ahead of time then that would give us more time to build.
Because in the current contests you have to enter it very quickly in order to do good in it.
But on another topic, Are you ever going to put the WNTS {What Not To Suggest} back up..? |

Thanks telamon, Im tired of seeing last contests place is the current contests. |

Yeah, the vote accuracy is quite awful.
I thought voting is supposed to be an opinion.
Not subtracting points for voting for the wrong one.
It's just kind of odd.

The problem is, roblox is VERY big.
And its focussed on, well, little kids.
Now we have a hugeload of little kids trying to obtain a hat, what do you get?
A pile of free modeled baseplate places...
This needs to be fixed, sadly you can't just ban all little kids from contests, cause that would be just horrible to do.
I have no ide ahow to fix it though... :P |

Voting thing is Stupid, it's a mater of Voting of the best place and how offen it you do it.
