Spooky Spite

An important update:

Due to a specific person being a complete child, comments are going to be screened by default.

This is only temporary, and I apologize for the inconvenience- this is going to be a pain in the ass for me, too, but multiple people have come forward about fears of doxxing, and this is the only way to make sure any doxxing is contained.

(This basically will force the doxxer to make a DW account to post any doxxing attempts unscreened, and will let me more reliably report them to DW staff/authorities.)

Again, I apologize, and will be working to unscreen comments as fast as possible, but I'm only one person.

(Vasemod has had some personal issues come up, so I am the only mod atm. Please bear with me until this bit of annoyance has passed.)

do you guys think staff look at the thread when picking entries or do they pull all the images for judging with names hidden? genuine question here. because we might be ragging on an issue staff has never 'fixed' because there's nothing to fix, since they're not looking for certain names when picking winners

i think it's pretty likely they do the latter because (1) even setting aside fairness, it would make it way easier to judge if everything were streamlined that way; and (2) needing to format the judging setup would make a lot of sense with entries closing the thursday before the festival, rather than friday.

it would genuinely be interesting to know the answer, but i suspect people will find a way to complain regardless. :T

With so many people whining about favoritism, it would be hilarious if staff has actually been choosing the winners without looking at any names at all.
