Toa Zaz Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) The punishment for cheating seems really unnecessarily harsh. Wouldn't disqualification from the one contest be sufficient? They don't win, so it doesn't matter after that. Also, that section of the post seems really overemphasized in relation to everything else. It makes it appear as if you guys care more about punishing people than the actual contest. Edited June 16, 2013 by Toa Zaz Thank you, BZPower staff. In the past, I wish I showed more appreciation for all that you do. From one Bionicle fan to another, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBBBalta Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I agree to a certain extent - maybe they should be disqualified for the next contest, too, and maybe have a proto drop in there too, but outright banning from all contests and the site itself seems quite harsh. Still, I'm not sure this is the best place to discuss it - opening a ticket in the tracker would have a better likelihood of producing actual results.

They get caught, they don't win the contest. Problem solved. But why does it matter what the punishment is? As long as you don't cheat, it doesn't apply to you at all. Also, a harsher punishment will more likely discourage people from cheating. If they just get disqualified from one contest, they might cheat again in the next one, hoping they won't get caught. And if they do, they can just try again next time. I do agree though that it is somewhat harsh getting banned from the entire site. 3DS FC: 0216 - 1922 - 2231 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBBBalta Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Couple questions:Is there any specific reason why the technic/system ratio changed from last contest? Does this count as two pieces or one? Does this count as a technic or system piece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space: Ocean of Awe Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Maybe I'll enter. A couple questions though. Can I use rubber bands? Is there a lower piece limit - could I, say, enter a MOC with only 11 pieces? =) "Baby, in the final analyses, love is power. That's where the power's at."

What if someone isn't cheating, but is suspected to? The rules say that anyone who is caught or suspected of cheating will be banned. Anyway, I might enter, but I somewhat hope I don't get into the finals. Don't know if I would be able to mail it, much less go there myself. Can I make a phoenix?

It's mostly red, orange, and yellow, and I don't know what eye color would go best with that.Blue might work well. Something that will contrast. I won't be entering, but just wondering, is the technic-system ratio based on piece count or weight/mass? "I pitea the fool!"
