and make the one on the site for serious project ones
Ok. But now tell me : how do you categorize a project or contest as "serious"? Which criterions do you base your opinion on to say it?
Manual selection can't work. That's what I used to do, but as I have less and less time, it's not possible anymore. And choosing people to do it won't work either : just look at the fan news editors, 1 month later most are already not doing their job.
So it has to be automatic. For now, the "favorites" system has always worked nicely, even though not perfect.
I will probably add a choice between categories of projects and contests later. So, this could give the possibility to "filter" the "mate" contests.
The best thing you could do to help me on this, would be to make an exhaustive list of possible categories for projects and contests. For now there are only two : "Balto" (or Lion king) and "Fan character"
The way I see, the site should be for banner contests or if someone is holding a contest to create a whole pack/sled team/pride etc. or if it's for a character design, fan fic poster or cover and less-serious would be creating a "mate" for a character or creating pups for a character.
I suppose a list could be:
Character design.
Poster/cover design.
Pack/team members. (Pride for TLK)
Banner design.
Not got any other idea's right now but I'm sure there are more possible ones and as for the automatic or manual thing, most mods can already delete/deactive contests as far as I know.
