NS Contests need to stay consitent

For future terms, the contest rules need to stay the same and not get switched up.  This post is feedback for the NS staff.  The point I'm coming from is when The NS Movie contest changed 2 things, the rules and the final date for all submissions due.  Originally the due date was July 4th, and also Dave made a rule (which is not in the set of "Rules" for the contest) from out of thin air that he would decide to go through the submittions himself and weed out the "illegial votes".  All I'm asking is that there is a certain set of rules for a contest and nothing gets changed, that way everything stays the same and understandable.

Once you guys start paying for contests that people organize and run for free, we'll start setting some concrete rules with punishments for breaking them. Shit happens and shit often has to get changed on the fly, that's just the way it is.

Sorry if your edit didn't get chosen and you wasted your time creating 30 alias' and voting 0 on other movies.

 people have tobe consistent and not biased when they judge contest so people running them dont have to make adjustments.

maybe the voters should stay consistent, maybe the the voters should be unbiased, maybe the voters should allow a real (un aliased) vote....

I really don't think anyone is trying to fuck each other over. This site is growing and things are happening, get your hands dirty and help these guys out instead of calling them retards. It is very easy to judge when you are looking from the outside. Just be happy you are part of a community like newschoolers.

They removed the votes that people made via alias accounts. Are you really arguing that this was a stupid move on their part?
