another good idea, length of membership, that could work, thanks Boroma
Gday...
Looks like there are heaps of great suggestions .... although very few votes - maybe the "number of photos" has 'stifled' voting
Cheers

At least it would be known they haven't just joined for the photo comp, regardless of how many times they have posted.
I think the length of membership has taken over from the voting but that's not a problem, and that suggestion would stop some of the people just joining to enter the comp.
Agree with Baroma's suggestion that it be length of membership, instead of the number of posts.
I also think there should be a limit of how many photo's but I don't know how that would be policed.
I must admit, I got a little bored when there were soooo many photo's. And a little annoyed at the ones that didn't fit the topic. I stopped looking at them after awhile.
Maybe in the Photo Comp Section each member only has one thread each. They post the amount of photos allowed in that thread and no where else or it will be deleted.
Anything above the allowed amount won't be taken into consideration no matter how good it is.
I can see how easy that would be to control.
Thanks Wommy, shows off the colour of my eyes ay.

Personally, I think all members should be entitled to only (5) entries each, regardless of their time as members or how many posts they might have made ..
Lets get this back to a level playing field .. Each person need only to select and submit their own best (5) photos ..
The duration of (2) months for the competition might just be quite suitable as members will the take their time to submit and/or remove and resubmit entries as they choose .. As each person has only (5) entries to consider, time will be less a consideration than it has been in the past ..
Just my thoughts and opinion ..

That is a different part of the equation. How long they have to be here before they can enter the comp so they can't become a member just to enter and get the prize. thats a another consideration.
Some people register solely to enter the comp last time.
That's exactly what I did Shaz. I agree
I wasn't looking at your eyes
Ha, ha....I bet.
All of the suggestions made here will depend on what Cindy thinks is a fair thing, after all most of the work will be done by Cindy and Steve.
But at least Cindy is getting some info from members.
bugga that was quick, you been reading my mind
Exactly my thoughts Baroma. Additionally once a limit is placed on the number of photos that can be entered, (say 10 in total) rather than have anyone checking all entrants numbers of photos posted, why not pick a winner first. Then check the number entered by the winner before notifying who has won. If his/her entries do not comply with the rules just pick another winner until someone does comply.
Marj .. I believe my first line covered that adequately ..
I mistook all the time myself.
Nah! Wouldn't be that!
I think it might be
.. call me misterstook .. tee hee !
As a new member, I kind of find the phrase (blowin's) quite offensive and a bit of a turn off. (my definition of blowings would be Blowflies sneaking in at mealtime as Unwanted guests)
Are you forgetting you where once a new member Too!
This is the first time I have ever seen this crop up on any forum I subscribe to.
Please tell me if you want new members or not, and by the way I am not interested in posting photo's just yet anyway.
Happy New Year to all
Burnie
Dear Burnie .. welcome to the group !
.. and may I say that I have no idea what you're talking about .. we love having new members, but you are free to leave if you want !
Don't let it be said that we are holding you back !
Jon
As was stated further down, the blow-ins are people who join up purely to enter the comps and never come back again.
You're obviously not a blow-in Burnie, and we certainly welcome anyone who joins for the genuine reasons of mutual interest in Nomadding, friendship, support and info regarding all sorts of things.
You are most welcome Burnie.
Its a long story, but I apologise if what I said offended you. We were all blow-ins once, some of us still are a bit like blow-flies!
I don't think you need to apologise Gerty. The rest of us understood what you meant.
Hi Burnie,
Sorry if you were offended but it was not intended to be that way, you are more than welcome, please keep posting, it's a great site and plenty of nice people like me
The problem is some people are joining just to be able to enter the photo comp and take away very good prizes and then do not even come back in and thank the people (Cindy & Steve) who spend a lot of time organising the comp.
Now you know a bit more of what has gone on in the past we hope you will stay around and enjoy the company of all the GN's on this site.
