I want to run a design contest for $1000.00 to the winner to redesign a site for me.. is that allowed?
 


yes, it is called 99design or freelancer.com or - or you can use the oracle. Her name is Google. iRetard

Edit: based on the like, I assume iMotivate and Michael_ are brothers from the same inbreed family?

Eh? Would be interesting to watch a "WF only" design contest.

MS Paint would be the star of the show.
 
No one would life a finger for a $1k prize, everyone is too much of a baller bro. You would have to include a life sized picture of Val Kilmer or a fleshight or a huge black cock to get people's attention.

You're a genius. I'm gonna start running all my business decisions through you. All this time i've been focusing on growing my bank accounts, and building businesses.

Doesn't leave me much time to open and reply to threads that I have nothing to do with me, and I have nothing to contribute. You obviously have a lot more free time. So you must have billions already?

There are lots of good reasons to run a design contest on a board like this one.

-gives a chance for designing board members to show off their talents
-give me a chance to gather input from other board members who like greenleaves have such valuable input!
-helps me see the works of various different designers all at once. Which helps a lot since I need to hire 5 of them this upcoming week.
-gives me a way to interact and get to know other board members.

It also gives me a chance to discover the ignorance of others.
 
LOL @ Noob?


Yes, you are so elite because you have more board post here. I bow down. I was just trying to hook up the designers around here. And from the private messages i'm getting it's obviously wasn't a bad idea.

I don't want to use 99designs.com - I was looking to find designers to hire full time. I'm supposed to hire 5 of them this week for a new project. Something your broke ass probably doesn't understand because you're to busy getting rich with your 5k post.

Posts mean shit we know that.

But the ability to properly articulate your communication would likely render you with better results. IF you already knew of these sites, you could have posted something like:

Hi Guys, I know of sites like 99designes, but I'd like to start a design contest here to give the newer designers at WF a chance to show themselves. I'll even make the contest public for the board. Would something like this be allowed?
See? It isn't that hard. If you read your posts, you'd see why you got the reply you did.

It isn't about having posts or not. It is about thinking before writing. Of course an arrogant shit head like yourself will have a hard time understanding this. It is much better to insult people that offer help and blame them for your inability to express yourself in such a way that others can understand what you are getting at. And of course, ASS-U-Ming we are all broke and retarded while you are awesome and rich is definitively going to make people like you. Especially since it is oh so true.

Okay, you got me there. I'll stick my foot in mouth on that one.


And swiftmoney? Yes, it's bull shit. I don't really need to find designers.. I just offered to pay $1000.00 for a site that I could hire a filipino designer, or an indian designer to do for quarter of the price because i like to waste money.

I would contact one of the mods about this. Of course, there will be the concern of securing funds. On 99design they debit you and act as an escrow. How do you propose that should be handled? (if you answer trust, we can confirm your troll status)
 
WF has only a few good designers and for 1K I don't really think you would see a lot of interest... Maybe if it was 5K ....
 
Could be cool. Just was packaged wrong. Who here would be mad at him if he sent Jon $1000 right now to run a contest like that?

OP it just came across like this: "Hey WF I'm new but here is a theoretical $1000, dance for me bitches." Probably not your intention. (I hope, for your sake and that of your angus)

I actually want to thank you. You made a good point about my post. I run across that problem often, and I need to pay more attention to it. I just expect that people are gonna know what I mean, which is an ignorant assumption since no one here even knows me. I'll try to be more descriptive from here on out.

As for how to handle it. Well, if I can get it approved by one of the MODs.
Here is what is the way I propose, but i'm open to suggestions.

I will paypal the funds to a MOD, or a long time trusted board member to act as an escrow. Since I'm brand new, and have 0 credibility, saying "trust me" would probably get me all of 0 design concepts to choose from.

Then i'd say run the design contest for a total of 10 days, and then i'd start a poll and have the board vote for the best design.

Once the design has been sent to me, i'd confirm it with the trustee and have them transfer the funds to the winning designer.

thoughts?

Again, I apologize for any arrogance or ignorance i've shown so far. I can't promise it's the last time i'm ignorant, But I can promise it's the last time i'm arrogant =)

It's cool. I'd plus rep you for the post but I'm out of rep giving for today. We have all been arrogant and ignorant at times.

The ability to own up to it and apologize says a lot about you.
