![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Regarding recent contest scams! The admins/mods should do what http://www.clantemplates.com do, If you have a contest, you MUST send the money to the admin's contest holding account, and when the contest is over the contest holder tells the admin where to send the payment! |

![]() | It removes the scam side of things, as long as everyone can trust the site with large amounts of money I dont see a problem. Personally I would rather be in control of my own money. Good idea, but Ill have to say 'No'... |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I like what Clantemplates does, but once you make a contest, you HAVE to choose a winner at CT...so even if you get a few entries and they are all garbage, you have to still choose a winner. Thats why I won't hold my contests @ CT anymore. I like the way NP's is setup. Just watermark your entries. |

![]() | YES YES YES. That way we can limit these "I'll-pay-you-$5-for-a-flash-logo" and "I'll-pay-you-$500-for-a-little-page" contests. Designers won't bother watermarking, thus giving a better impression of their artwork |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I think, if the contest is in NP$, yes. If it is in cash, no. However, i think all designers need to watermark their designs, which would take out the issue...

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | This is a good idea, and something even I floated before. The disadvantage to NP is that we will be burdened with extra risk. What if there's a chargeback and both buyer and seller disappear after we complete the escrow? In that case, NP will have to eat the loss. What if there's a disagreement about the terms of the contest? We'd have to play judge and hope we get it 100% right since there's money involved. What will NP get for taking on the extra risk? Would members be willing to pay a percentage of the escrow amount?

And have the other forms of payments like escrow and stuff contests ran like they are being ran right now. | ||||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Why not make it so that the buyer (of the banner / or whatever), has to buy the amount they want to give as the prize for the contest in NP$, and THEN put it into NP Escrow?
