Backtropical, it would be nice if you found more time or had some help when viewing the entries, we take the time and effort to take pics only to have them rejected for small reasons which i think could be averted if you had more time.
For instance if one looks at the posts in the Member's Aquarium and Fish Pictures, you can see the same tank of a member just with different shots of his/her fish.
We have to prove its our fish and tank, which i can not understand why anyone woud want to put forward an entry if its not your own, what would be the point in that?
I understand you must have your reasons but by your own admission you have "very limited time" which is not our fault and i think we require a little "more" of your time.

Lol!! I can understand all sides of the story, but to tell a moderator who does this for free in his own time 'find some more time' is very rude and out of order imo. As for taking it on the chin, what else are you going to do? Throw your toys out of the pram and cut your nose off despite your face? There would only be one loser if you chose that option and that would be you.

You have some great fish and tanks and obviously know your stuff and it would be a shame if something like this would stop you from entering on a regular basis! You obviously have the knack as you have won it twice!

Your entitled to your opinion minnnt, how long does it take to look at the entries? if anyone is rude then its not me.

Do you know the ins and outs of BTT's schedule? I guess not. Fair enough, maybe another mod should be involved to lighten the load somewhat but to tell him he has got to spend more time doing his job is a bit O.O.O.

Where did i say he's got to? I have a busy life,full time job and also an admin, not on this forum but in another capacity, lets face it most of us have busy schedules.
Another mod if needed because of his own addmision about having limited time.

I can see where Plecostomos is coming from with regards to that, I see no problems with the picture, and I don't want it to sound as though I'm questioning BTT's judgement. Maybe it would be beneficial to the competition if there was another mod who could give their opinion.

It would indeed be nice if I could find more time to devote here, and I'll give that comment the benefit of the doubt this time. However, contrary to popular belief, all the members here have lives outside of TFF, even the mods. My schedule outwith TFF is nobody's concern but my own and I'm not about to justify or even discuss it here.

I have devoted the time to setting up these competitions and do what I can to make them run smoothly on a monthly basis, subject obviously to all my other commitments. If you are not happy with how these competitions are being run, please feel free to take up the matter with the moderating and admin team and your concerns will be given due consideration.

I'm going to close this thread now as I think it has run its course.
