7. Perpetual diaries are not eligible to be nominated in this contest. We appreciate the teaching, content and comradeship that a perpetual diary provides, however most of them are rich in off-topic conversations with years of subscribed followers. So when a post is made announcing a contest, there could be years worth of subscribers who are called to action. This does not make for a fair comparison with single grow diaries created to highlight methods, sponsors & genetics, with only a few months of subscribers.
8. Campaigning for yourself or a friend, is considered cheating and will result in the entry being removed from the contest.
Campaigning includes:
Contests Are Legitimate: Voting may be anonymous, but we have endless ways of catching cheaters and are always successful. If you are caught cheating, your entry will be deleted and you'll be exposed in the public thread.
In the past, we removed offending entries without announcement, to minimize embarrassment for the member. The cheaters would then claim innocence, which turned everyone against us. This led to members questioning our motives and causing extra work for our team. To avoid confusion moving forward, we now alert the community of these things when they happen.
If anyone has any questions or problems with any of the entries in a contest, please speak up in the contest thread before the end of the contest, or forever hold your peace. Once a winner is announced, that will be the end of discussion. There will be no take backs, unless we made a clerical error.
How Do I Get Started?
As you dive into the world of spores and cultures, maintain an in-depth record by creating a Mushroom Diary. Jot down every observation, revelation and hurdle you encounter, complementing your diary with plenty of daily photographs. This reference guide will walk you through the process How to Start a Mushroom Diary
Remember that your photographs don't just depict your trajectory but also gift the community with a lens into diverse techniques and phases. With that said, please take your time to get the best shots.
Remember to tag @Spore Genetics & @Midwest Grow Kits and any of your friends, so they can all follow your grow.
