| Oct 9, 2012 at 19:13 | comment | added | Aarthi Staff | I just don't believe your site is still at a stage where a contest with prizes is what you need. You're a mature site, and your community doesn't strike me as being as interested in a contest so much as the idea of a contest. I mean, go ahead and pare down the prizes and see how that shakes out. Right now, we don't think this is the right tack for this community. | |

| Oct 9, 2012 at 16:22 | comment | added | Aarthi Staff | I hate to do it, but the short version is: I can't approve this idea. :( | |
| Oct 9, 2012 at 16:21 | comment | added | Aarthi Staff | So, @JorgeCastro, while I love your proposal here, I have two major concerns. (1) We just ran a contest on your site about six months ago. I don't feel like running another cleanup-type event is a good idea, especially not so soon. (2) The proposal you outlined above is rather expensive. Ubuntu is a pretty mature community; handing out expensive shiny things doesn't really seem to get the participation we want to see any more than shirts and stickers. Beyond that, this community is more international -- shipping to our users safely can be a real logistical headache. | |

| Oct 2, 2012 at 20:14 | comment | added | Jorge Castro | Yeah I'm just starting with the SU contest, I'm in the process of editing it to be more measurable and easy to track. | |

| Oct 2, 2012 at 20:12 | comment | added | Aarthi Staff | Two things: (1) Did you mean AU instead of SU every time? And, by extension, AskUbuntu instead of Super User? :P (2) The Super User event was a really great idea, but we've shifted since then to encouraging impartial criteria. It allows the moderator team to participate, means the burden of judging is removed and distributed to the community at large, and it just generally leads to better participation and content. Things to keep in mind :) | |
