Has anyone else noticed this lately?

I recently have been looking at contests and noticed something interesting. A lot of new people have joined just to put instrucatbles into contests. For some reason it is bothering me. How do you feel?

I don't care who is posting, what bothers me is poor quality knocked-together stuff as attempts at contest entries*

The April Fools comp' was particularly poor, a lot of people not even bothering to go past page 1 of the image search...

That's part of the purpose of contests. To attract new members. If you don't want to share ibles, you'll have a tough time... :D

Agreed.

Although one new member has just re-posted the images and instructions from their own website.

What about the people with only a few hundred views, an average at best ible, and lots of votes?

Then suspicions should be raised with The Team.
