This could be long so if it is, do not post unless you have read the whole thing or understand 100% how it works... Basically we currently have the issue of people using free models in there games, therefore, cheating and not entering themselves. To combat this I suggest disowning the players place and giving EVERY player a 'Contest place' the contest place does not appear with your other places. There would be a 'Build' button installed on the Contest page and when you click it it goes to Studio. Thats combatted the issue of people having to use only one place, not what I meant so... In this place you are not able to use the insert tool or tool box. Also, the Open button is disabled likewise so is Insert>From file. That combats free models ALMOST. But also you can copy and paste, so all contest items should be given an embedded code into there file xhtml. This code will be checked and if your building your contest place then it needs the code to be inserted. Then again I suppose Insert>From file and Open could be used if this code was envolved. Now, the voting system...It works by putting two places against eachother. I don't think this is how it should work. My idea is simple... You are given 5 contest places (They would be sorted into groups when you enter). You then number them 1-5. 1 being the best and 5 being the worst. You then press submit. Then the leaderboard would work like so. You have the top 5 that are #1 and top 5 that are #2 These each get a prize. Voting accuracy is a terrible idea, sometimes you vote on the better place and as loads of others thought that the other one was better, though it is unrealated you lose points. It should work like so... Your voting accuracy is still determinded by what others voted BUT! there is one massive difference. As they are now in groups of 5 you can clearly see what others put them as. So... PlaceA = 1 PlaceB = 2 PlaceC = 3 PlaceD = 4 PlaceE = 5 Say thats the average. For every one you get correct you get +1 accuracy. For every one you get wrong you get a little bar type thing. (Not shown). This bar represents how close you are to losing accuracy. When you get an answer the bar would decrease by 25% meaning if you get 4 wrong you lose one. Prizes are not always great... It would be nice to see some gear in there rather than just hats. And maybe some decent items but only so many people win. For taking part you should be awarded something though as of my suggestion for the top 5 firsts and top 5 seconds. Tell me what you think TL;DR does not count...

WTH is this? No CFrame scripting for a perfect bowl/ramp for a skatepark competition? You should be able to insert>script.

Ajnything to change the current horrible system. I have posted the contest place idea before and an admin accually posted saying it might be done, but it wasnt. I guess all noobs cryed at the idea of losing there free models.

Free models or not, if some one likes it they vote for it, hey you know what why dont we see better scripted places? Cuz the experts hardly compete, so in this case if they did they would win for having a better place, voters should not get anything accept tix for spending all that time voting, makes sense doesnt it?
