I will anyway. I don't get it. I've been lurking around since it was all fields and one thing I really just don't get... The general standard of the board seems pretty high, right? An average glance throughout the day will raise at least a smile. And yet, the competition entries are all RUBBISH. Always. Are there swathes of people out there who never visit the site, but save all their half-arsed crap for the competitions? Please someone give me a theory to help me through the weekend. Rant over. Thanks.

about 10% of the entries have had some thought and effort put into them.
Friday ones are generally the worst, as people seem to rush to get the obvious crap pun done first, fail and still post it.

entry, no matter how poor it is.
It is a useful starting point for those who don't have any hummus of their own.
if you go through them all, you realise how many people make no effort to be creative, and how few people even check if the same thing has been done before

or maybe its because they have that "I am the best as im in the compo, maybe they'll FP my worthless piece of crap".
Normaly if you call it a 'compo' people are more likely to enter. At one website, we renamed the "Monthly Prize Draw" (that was about £100 in vouchers), to a "compo" and made them say the opinon about a product. Suddenly we had about 100 extra enterys.

ohhh', and cock-off you threadwasting nut =P

but sometimes they get better as the week goes on and all the obvious jokes have been done - people get more imaginative.
If they *were* all rubbish, people wouldn't keep nicking them and emailing them round.
As always - feel free to enter the comp yourself, and do something spectacular.

but yeah. i know what you mean and you can see where I'm coming from too. The entries do get better. One ofthe best ways to get things sorted is lead by example. If i had any kind of visual sense of humour i would do the same.
