.... Something seems not right.
IMO there will be a need to modify the rules for the next MOM
contests and possibly all of the
contests. It has already been suggested that on the Plant of the Month and the Bud of the Month contest that only the pics will be entered with no names attached.. I think it's a good idea.
We're always open to input, so I've opened this thread where we can discuss the ideas. We've done this in the past with great success. Really positive and constructive; let's do it again
Discussion of contest rules

As referring to the new logo in the smileys that had to been a admin that added it......does this mean 420 is going to support a club within the forum? I been on a lot of forums but I have never see such thing done. Is it the truth 420 doesn't want to loose its new members and created a new club with in it's own
I put the smiley in and still don't see the harm. They are not an exclusive club, they're promoting their growing technique and they encourage any member (Deep Water Culture or not) to come by and participate. Their main purpose is to help people learn to grow with Deep Water Culture in a pay it forward sort of way.
How can many of my friends on our great community not welcome this kind of mindset with open arms.
I've seen lots of older 420 members in Deep Water Culture subforum interacting positively. They were already Deep Water Culture when they showed up, but are trying to integrate. Did you check out their logo closely - that's the 420 Magazine and the 420 Girls logo inside the bubbles.
There's no harm here - help them integrate
Hey folks! - If you guys think new members shouldn't win
contests, maybe you should request 420 to change the rules and eliminate newer members from entering/voting?
We're not willing to change the rules now that the contest has begun. We can discuss for subsequent months
The MOTM contest is a popularity contest; it's a way to pay respects to people that have helped you in the past or that you just generally respect.
I've heard a lot of people saying things like the Nug and Plant
contests will be ruined because Deep Water Culture will just vote for their own
I hope this isn't the case. The Plant and Nug
contests are about the green, not the person who submitted it.

Please withdraw my name form the contest, My wife has just received a threating pm for one of the so called other group....I have been here 4 months posted over 300 pictures and wrote 3 grow journals. I have always called this place home now there is no place for me...please close all my journals and don't expect me back................
I'm sorry you've decided this, mad peace and respect to you Bro, I hope you come back.
That said, we honored your wishes and removed you from the poll. Anyone who voted for OGD will note that their vote has been returned to them and they are free to vote again
For the record, and since you brought it up, the threat to your wife was not physical in nature. I wouldn't post this here but the way you phrased this requires further explanation. The threat was that she would probably be banned if she didn't stop trolling. see the quote that was sent --->
stop trolling the forums man. You are going to get banned if you keep it up.
Inappropriate and out of line - yes, but more of a prediction than a threat in my view.
