In addition, it's the reason these suggestion threads exist, so 99Designs can hear what others have to say to better their business. So in short, Yes, I do think it plays a part (even if the part is merely suggestive & small)
you don't think so? And how does one measure the credibility? By how many contests the one commenting on anothers work has won them self? Isn't a logo based on attracting others? Meaning a CH may value outside opinion rather than there own, which may be bias to begin with?
As a business owner I like to listen to what people think, it's how one betters a business & delivers a consumers wants.
I think the bigger issue that needs to be dealt with is duplicate accounts stemming from the same IP address personally. That would eliminate banned designers from signing back up under a different name as well a designers having multiple accounts for manipulation purposes. I'm not totally opposed to the buddy list Idea, I just think more thought should go into actual needs before adding it.
it sounds good in theory, but wouldn't that also encourage outcasting of other designers struggling on the threads to compete? I mean, it's not a big deal to some, i concur, however to others they seem to get frustrated when you have several designers competing & then have 1-10 other designers pointing out one design out of 100 encouraging the ch to pick it because they are friends.
I think the contest health was a great add, however I myself have problems with CH's that will award a winner & then never pay them. I think it would be very beneficial to other designers to know what CH's have paid after awarding & which ones didn't.
I Think 99Designs has come a long way since it's birth on sitepoint & look forward to it becoming a more secure & professional place for designers

I think this Idea is definitely going to be an asset to helping keep honesty amongst everyone here (Ch's & Designers alike) :)
