Rules for the DMC.org competitions - PLEASE READ!

RULES FOR ALL COMPETITION ENTRIES:

• All those who want to join in need to be active members. That does not mean active lurkers, but people who visibly contribute to the forums. Visible contributions DO NOT INCLUDE spamming, saying "lol" after a mass-quoting of other posts or trolling/argumentative behaviour.
• No secondary accounts to try and increase chances of winning. It's against the rules anyway but don't push it
• Judges will be staff members on this occasion, although we hope to expand the pool for later competitions if possible, and their decision is final. No amount of sucking-up, brown-nosing or any other revolting way of trying to get on our good side is going to make a difference to the final decision.
• One entry per member ONLY. Once you have submitted, you can only edit to make minor alterations to stuff like spelling mistakes or broken code. You cannot redo your entire submission once you've seen someone else's. If there are major alterations you need to make, you need to apply via private conversation to one of the staff but their decision is final and if they say no then I'm afraid you're stuck
• The competition will run for precisely one week. After that time, no further submissions can be made and all entries will be evaluated and judged by the staff before a winner is announced.
• For competitions involving monetary prizes, all competitors MUST HAVE an active PayPal account. For security reasons, we cannot send money in any other way to winners and if you don't have PayPal then I'm afraid you will not be able to take part in that particular competition. If you are using someone else's PayPal account to take part (such as a parent or sibling, for example) then that is entirely your responsibility and you must have permission from the account holder to use their details. If that person decides they won't hand over your winnings, then that is not the fault of DMC.org.

If you don't agree or cannot comply with any of the above rules then please do not submit to the competition. Any entries which directly contravene our usual forum rules will not be included in the competition and may result in a warning or temporary ban if they are really out of order. Use your head, keep it clean and enjoy yourself
