yeah if you want

Am I correct in assuming that computers are off limits (they do play games) also we are required to send a pic within 24hours what if the item is ordered and not yet received?

Monk3y · « **Reply #5 on:** February 03, 2011, 03:26:27 AM »

I know for a fact computers are allowed. Also, I have yet to send my clarification picture so I think you'll be fine with the whole confirmation thing. Just send the pic once you get your parts.

Bonz · « **Reply #6 on:** February 03, 2011, 08:41:50 AM »

sweet thanks allot man

/cry i want my moder number i have 2 days off and want to get a start =(

robin1989 · « **Reply #7 on:** February 05, 2011, 09:30:50 AM »

ok after a few days thought i think that jacobs idea is going to be the best middle ground.

i will set up your accounts and email you the details so that you can then update your topics yourself.

i will set these up this evening as well as send any other entrants there id cards

robin1989 · « **Reply #8 on:** February 06, 2011, 12:23:48 PM »

im working on it monkey - just keep sending in updates and i will get round to them - ive had some other things to deal with and have been working on a way for people to do that.

it would be a lot easier if people who sent updates just sent the bbcode with the img tags instead of attatched images as i then have to download them from my email reupload them and then put the images back in place

Monk3y · « **Reply #9 on:** February 06, 2011, 01:08:24 PM »

You guys do have a total of 8 admins so you can always assign them jobs if things are a little too hectic for you at certain times.

I have been in and out of the scene for many many years. I agree with Hatrix in some points, there are several SMF mods and adjustments out there that would simply allow these things to happen here.

1) Create new users for each contestant (I.E. 9002234123, 70002421, 1242412434, etc, etc)

2) Post new rules about posting your own work log.
a) Entrants must create a new media hosting account that is not used for anything that could identify such entrant
b) Entrants must remove meta data from such media (many simple ways of doing such)
c) Entrants must not flood work logs, One update per day maximum (if you have further updates then please edit the post for such said day)
d) Entrants will be granted the ability to post in only their board. their secondary account is limited to ONLY the board of which is theirs (SMF is capable of handling this via permissions and membergroups)
e) Entrant is responsible for that of which s/he posts.
f) keep all original images and show actual work progression, not something as it is complete (led lights all of a sudden installed, SHOW MISSING LIGHTS FIRST) with your image of course.

3) Site traffic is important for any website. This competition has TONS of entrants. I think that the first post should be sent via admin@acidmods.com, at that time Mendez, or

, or whoever can do it will verify information, post the initial board post with the proper information (thread name, tag image, etc etc)

* a side note, these competitions have ways of getting new ideas flowing. Ive been around this board for quite a while (albeit on and off, due to life and time constraints). This mod-off has the ability to take the site to a whole new level.

If help is needed in any way, I'm willing to help, and without volunteering him, I am sure that Hatrix is one to help as well.

Is there any way i could have it resnt, cause i do not see it in my in box and i also checked the spam box. I also havent deleted any emails for a good month. The email is bdogpot@yahoo.com. in case i spelled it wrong.

Monk3y · « **Reply #16 on:** February 07, 2011, 03:15:02 AM »

Robin how long (on estimate) will it be before we have temp. accounts to update our threads by ourselves?

robin1989 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 07, 2011, 06:30:37 AM »

im driving home for the week now having had a full day at uni (i live at uni usually) so will sort out the temporary logins at about 10pm gmt - ive sorted a way round the issue that was not letting me make the temp logins. im sorry this has taken so long.

when i have sorted out the logins and emailed you the details you have two option which are i can finish posting the updates that i have recieved before sending the logins or i can send the logins and the entrants post the updates themselves. which way do you guys want it

Modded Matt · « **Reply #18 on:** February 07, 2011, 08:35:23 AM »

clarification:

First prize: choice of psp go or kinect+game, a $200 value

the "a $200 dollar value" was added at crazymodders inquary. as of now we have a set cash fund that is why there is an option for first prize. but that dont mean it could not be a cahs deposit. although I would like to see the actual prize awarded. cash just seems so inpersonal. see, we are reading this thread as

pointed out.

robin1989 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 07, 2011, 04:33:00 PM »

i have set up the accounts so that you can update your own topics - you will recieve your username and passwords in the next 12 hours - i suggest you change your passwords and start updating your topics. i will also sort out the mod off ID's and logins for those who have applied in the last 48 hours.

due to the amount of complaints and moaning that people have been making as a good will gesture i will extend the mod off by 3 days.

robin1989 · « **Reply #20 on:** February 08, 2011, 05:05:33 AM »

JUST FOR CLARIFICATION AS SOME OF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND. YOU SHOULD NOW HAVE A LOGIN FOR ACIDMODS THAT IS YOUR MOD OFF ID - YOU NEED TO USE THIS WHEN UPDATING YOUR MOD OFF TOPIC AND NOT USE YOUR REGULAR ACIDMODS LOGIN

robin1989 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 08, 2011, 12:51:01 PM »

on another not if any of the entrants want to pm me to change there topic title i will do

Monk3y · « **Reply #22 on:** February 08, 2011, 12:58:16 PM »

We should have everyone change their topics to their ID and then the console they're doing or the name of their project. Like "123456789 - Bad Ace PS3" lol

Modded Matt · « **Reply #23 on:** February 08, 2011, 07:35:39 PM »

the rules have been updated in red. at the request of the community. If any rule seems unclear please let admin know.

happy modding.

EnterTheHatrix · « **Reply #24 on:** February 09, 2011, 12:15:11 AM »

Just so you know, I can't change my password and I can't send PM's.

[HoP] · « **Reply #25 on:** February 13, 2011, 05:37:17 PM »

use your password that the admin set. the system is set to limit access of the mod-off accounts to help them abide by the rules.

jrfhoutx · « **Reply #26 on:** February 13, 2011, 05:47:19 PM »

PMs are not able to be sent from those accounts, but you should be able to change your password...

Modded Matt · « **Reply #27 on:** February 14, 2011, 08:37:52 AM »

i have tested it, you can change your password in your profile like normal.

Coincidence · « **Reply #28 on:** February 15, 2011, 07:53:43 PM »

just a msg to admins I sent in my request for the mod off on February 13th and just wanted to make sure that you guys got it nbd if ur swamped I understand just wanted to make sure u got it.

thanks guys
oh and my email is the same one I registered this account with just in case your wondering.

Bonz · « **Reply #29 on:** February 20, 2011, 08:18:48 PM »

so I'm thinking the point of this thread was to discuss the mods not complain about not getting id's so who likes what (and don't name drop your own mod that's just lame) I kinda like the blue PSP (the stenciled one) and the 360 (the water cooled one) what do you guys think
