Hello Everyone,

It seems that the POTM may indeed need a review of its rules.

However, Still Learning, I believe with this rule it gives everyone a chance to win..

We had an issue with the same person winning last year, and no one was submitting their pics. Dont get me wrong those pics were of great quality and nice and may have very well deserved to win after all it is a photo contest. (POTM= PICTURE OF THE MONTH) Still, complaints were made and a rule was created to resolve the issue.

Although the topics of the POTM have not always been in everyone's favor I do try my best to go by what the list by members in this thread has offered.

In the future what I can do is I can create a thread of each topic being chosen a couple (2) weeks in advance with an actual week to allow for submissions.. I think this is definately plenty of prep time. (no rule) just something I want to do, to help continue the success of the POTM..

I do not want to make this a contest with so many rules. In opinion it just wouldnt be fun.

As of right now I will look into was exactly needs tweeking in the rules and will get back to you just as soon as I am able. In the mean time thanks all for voicing your opinions and thoughts. Keep those ideas coming...
