It wouldn't be a new feature on Subeta, if there weren't a few bumps in the road! I'm sure you've all noticed that tonight (and yesterday night!) we had a pet win that came from a user that already won.

First, let me explain how the Pet Spotlight works, in a little more depth. You nominate your friends pet, and then we (the staff) have a huge list of pets that have been nominated (seriously, 500+ pets) and we accept/deny those pets.

After a pet is accepted, it goes into a queue. As of this posting, we've got 75 pets accepted into the queue.

Every night, one of the pets will be selected randomly from the queue, to win. The problem is, that some people have multiple pets that are nominated, and entered into the queue, because all (or most) of their pets are good, and quality enough to win the Pet Spotlight.

Tonight I've added in some extra protection to the script that runs nightly, to prevent this from happening. There is a 14 day limit between wins for any user, who wins the pet spotlight.

Sorry for the confusion, I hope all of you are busy working on your pets now so they can win the spotlight next ;)!

Allright ... How do you know if your pet is in the queue ? If he was accepted/denied ?

great idea. as wonderful as some people's pets are it's not fair if they win every single time. even if they do deserve it.
