nofue: We see lots of pics which aren't exactly shop windows. So how to deal with that 'any window' part of the contest goal? Removing those entries? Your opinion / red flag please.

Contest Moderator: The contest goal is to take a photo of a shop window any window, outside displays do not apply

Gubbles: I did not state that outside displays do not apply in the contest guidelines I wrote. As long as there is a shop window visible is more important as my entry had that was removed. In fact nofue, your own entry does not comply with my guidelines as the window is not visible hence I have red-flagged it.

Contest Moderator: Just because the glass can't be seen as the photographer skillfully kept the picture clean from reflections, it's still a window. If you want to see the frame of a window, specify in the rules -- but don't show up on day six of a contest to add fine print.

nofue: Looking up Websters: a window is an opening in the wall ... fitted with glass ... to allow people to see out (or in, for that matter). And: 'a pane of glass filling such an opening' ... The c/g asks for a 'shop window display' (i.e. a display of good behind / in a shop window), so goods have to be behind a window (no outdoor displays f.t.m.) and no frame has to be shown either, because a window is also considered a 'pane of glass'. And your red flag is just a personal thing, as by your changing of the goal late about 80% of all entries will be voided. This is clearly not the way to deal with self specified contest goals.

Gubbles: It must be a hassle having to respond twice, once under your user name and once under your moderator title. Still, who better to back yourself than you.

serious: gubbles there is more than one moderator on the site, you set the guidelines on this contest stating it must be a window display, I go public because other entries that were not a window display were removed as well
