Dextracer,

I hear what you are saying. I'm not sure what we can do about it. The Admins, myself included, are spread pretty thin just trying to make a living and putting food on our tables. We don't make very much from this site so we can't dedicate as much time to it as it deserves. Really at this point Dave (DC Dalton) is a silent partner and simply provides us with web hosting, which leaves me and Josh (Bleys) with the admin functions, which we can't really pawn off on unpaid moderators.

I do routinely check for reports of bad threads and will act on them when they are reported, but I find it nearly impossible to keep up with individual contests. If you do see a thread going bad, please use the "report post" button (red stop sign with explanation point on left hand side of posts) and let us know what the problem is. I will at least try to act on these reports in a timely fashion.

I understand, KLB.
I'll try to do that.

And we are and we will be thankfull for keeping up the good work/for the effort invested in this site...
I'm a newbie here, but i think this site is a great place, and will be for a long time.

Just an example: http://gfxcontests.com/showthread.html?t=949
the Pufinek's contest.... It's still unfinished. Too often happens.!
Too bad for this great site too!

This was disappointing, for my first contest entry here, but I'll persevere.

Is there something that must be done in order to "OWN" the rights of an image... Or as the sole creator of a logo or graphic DO I OWN IT?

Just curious... because I feel water marking should be done by every designer here!
