Carl what was the reason behind "Entries cannot be changed once submitted" ? Does anybody care if someone changes their shot ?
Hmm, I thought I'd changed this, but I guess not! I brought this rule up a while back and said about removing it, but I don't seem to have actually removed it!
If nobody has any objections, I think it might be a good idea to remove the rule saying that photos cant be changed once entered? I think allowing photos to be changed up until the deadline would work better.
I can see that this rule would be useful for compeitions where entries are emailed in, but I can see no benefit for FPOTY where users simply post photos in a thread. I think the majority of people leave their entries to the last minute so that they can enter the best photo of the month. Allowing entries to be changed means that people can post their photos earlier in the month, safe in the knowledge that they can change it if they take a better one later.
This also means that I wont have a breakdown when it gets to the 25th of the month and no ones entered yet
Unless anyone has any objections, I reckon the rules can be amended to say that they can be changed up until the deadline. I don't think there's a way of stopping people changing them after the deadline, but F&C are a trustworthy lot
