I uploaded my cover design entry to Flickr days ago and it has never appeared on the crowdsourcing website despite being tagged correctly, and classed as uploaded on the 7th Feb.

If there is still time please could you include my entry in the competition - as far as I can see I have followed all the rules and met the deadline but it has failed to show.

My entry is at:

Many thanks,

I’m really amazed how badly this competition has been run.

You really should have thought it through.

It’s purely a popularity contest. If you’ve got no mates, you’re doomed to fail.

Also, if people want to leave purile comments or pose as somebody else, you should let them. That’s the nature of the internet. You don’t know who people are. It’s just another symptom of how badly this is organised. You’ve made your bed so tuck yourself in for the next 2 weeks. Don’t move the goalposts now just because you don’t like what people are saying.

What’s the difference between people who say things you don’t like and people who vote for things you don’t like. Nothing.

At the end of the day, you need to embrace democracy warts and all and that means people saying what they like.

Banning the people because you don’t like what they say is undemocratic. Banning people who are leaving p1$$ taking comments is akin to banning the Raving Loony Party.

Rant over.
