Also, the cost is far more cheaper than direct hiring a good design/creative institute. So i mean, If CH are afraid, want safety and got the result what they are after, why don't they go to to design company in the first place. Don't put the consequences on designers here, but put consequences on ch. That's fair!!! we all know 99designs have tons super designers, so WHY MUST AFRAID?
Common, it's the whole point of crowdsourcing : there is always a risk that CH don't get what they want, because from the beginning they are looking much "OPTION"s and hopeful there are several options that stand up and one beat others. ===>
romasuave, nonie as 99support admin has already doing this.. i've report those abandoned contests to admin.. and i'm suggesting that every designer make report too if experiencing abandoned contest. :D It's better to give your vote to "MAKE ALL CONTEST PREPAID" than this one, isn't it? I'm wondering why it's not been planned altough it's 3rd rank? .. cheers mate
altough there is no guarantee that will be a problem solutions. disrespectful CH can always register as a new member designer, and submit a new design then self declared as a winner
alternative solution : turn off CH pm system, so there will be no pm-ing between designer and ch. and after the winner choosen there will a new feature to facilitate ch to contact the winning designer :)
i'm really agree for everybody helping each other, but what i disregards is someone start to flaming, commenting such unnecessary against each other and it really not a constructive critiscm.
and by guaranteed contest, i believe it attracts more designer to participate.. no worrying if ch will abandon the contest. " A healthy and happy designer can bring more quality in design work " ( i guess it's not for designer only, no ? ;P )
moderator is not jury. but it would be great to have moderator to at least keep the contest always cool, with no fighting or bad mouth between designer, asking ch to give feedback. positioning while reporting to admin about ip issue. Moderator should be given guidelines too about what to do and don't. As i said moderator is not a jury. i'm fully agree with this idea.
it's important.. the common sense of originality in 99designs is becoming more and more biased.. because the community is growing.. i don't know how much new member register in a day.. and it confusing when they talk about design "THING" in message board.. not to mentioned annoying. it really need something to do about this.. forum discussion can make things more clearer...
