Okay I finally figured out that some contests do require item ownership but don't actually say so on the entry page? So it's hard to tell until you change around some items. Now I can finally enter the contest I wanted!

Noticed this regarding voting:

• 2 people with same number of votes ended on place 2 and 3 - how is this decided who gets which place, is this designed to be random?
• 3 people had the same number of votes, 2 of them ended on place 4 and 5, the 3rd person then assumably on place 6 so they get nothing. - Agreed that I don't immediately see how this can be resolved if place 5 gets 1 item as a reward, but still rather awkward that they got the same number of votes but just randomly (?) get nothing?
• You sort of have to guess how to vote, it always says you have 1 vote, but sometimes you have more. It seems like if you have 5 votes, and you can stack, the only way to stack is 3-1-1, so you can't decide yourself if you want to give 5 points to 1 person, or 4+1 points, or 3+2? Is that a bug, or was it meant to be like that?

[edit] The first 2 contests I created just ended, and I can definitely confirm that creator approval does NOT work. It never asked me at any point to approve entries, while having it enabled.

Voting for yourself is also definitely possible. I tried it out by entering a contest that allowed for multiple votes, and I could give myself a vote without a problem. What would stop people from giving themselves 5 votes (when stacking is allowed) and none to others? With few people voting, that would definitely rig the outcome if either everyone gives themselves the max number of votes, or if a few honest people vote for others, the honest ones would never win?

[edit] Still having trouble entering contests, it doesn't make sense. 9 open contests.

• trying to enter number 9 with avatar, only 6 contests appear
• resave the same avatar, 8 appear (not number 9 I'm trying to enter)
• reload the page, thinking maybe then number 9 will appear, and only 6 appear again...

I'm having this exact glitch currently too. I can't enter any of the newer ones, just the older ones :(

Having issues with the contests showing up after I go to my outfits to enter. I have double checked and they are open contests, and I am following the rules for the contests. So frustrating. Some show up, some do not. Some suddenly show up after trying for several days to enter them

only some contests are showing up for me, and I can't enter all the ones that do show. Also is there any way to tell if you're entry has been approved by the owner of the contest for the ones that require it?

To add onto my previous point, despite OWNING the item in question for the contest, the Lizard Minion contest still won't appear for me, and I've tried everything from different devices, different browsers/OS, 'remaking' the outfit, triple checking that I owned said item, making 1000% sure it fit the rules and criteria, like, I'm at a loss as to why it won't let me enter it. Shame too, I made a really nice outfit for it :/

Ah may the cache soon be cleared! I've been trying to rejoin a contest I quit in order to submit an edited entry for over 6 hours now I think! 😄 EDIT: Managed to successfully rejoin the contest, hurrah!
