Strange early thread lock for sig contest


Recommended Posts

I figure i might just try to submit here since in the post of the sig contest it states that the contest is over at NOON on the ninth --

The deadline for this contest is March 9 12PM 2007!

or better yet stated in this screenshot

ummm its 7:34 AM here in the central time zone and i see that the thread seemed to be closed at 12 AM on March ninth 2007

 

so if indeed i CAN submit still (according to the rules) i would like to do so

 

my submission would have been hal.gif

 

Notes:

Photoshop

Fonts: Life in space

sorry about that, that part of the rules wasn't seen when the thread was closed, i reset the poll and added your submission into the contest.

 

and it was 12PM by the way. If it was 12AM... then the closing would've been correct

 

would you like a telling time made easy link? :sarcasm:

I thought sig requirement was 480x90. Your's is 481x102. I have no problem if they want to change the rules for sig contest to a different size, but that should be noted beforehand, which it was clearly stated that the sigs must abide by the site rules.

hmm... looks to be as though the thread closed at 9am GMT...

 

12pm is noon, 12am is midnight... maybe next time a time-zone should be stated to avoid confusion? :)

 

GMT is the obvious choice... the centre of the world... all the world's time is based upon UK time haha

We are at the centre of the world. More things should be based on our time to save confusion!

killhoar, I wouldn't worry about it for this contest, in the future, just try to reread the requirements upon submission (and next time Uber should make it clearer in the OP.

i always thought "sig of the week" etc were allowed to break the size rule? but then Ubers rules seem to have changed :)

Well like I said, I don't have a problem with changing the size, but that needs to be stated. I do think there should be a max though.
