Sorry, but that would be to much work for both me and you guys who enter. My PM box is constantly filling up, and I will get PMs between entry PMs, and then forget someone etc. It's simpler to have it this way. I could involve other staff members sure, but it will honestly be more trouble then it saves.

Also I think to show the level of work that went into a members entry for SOTW, they should also post along the render(s) they used with their final piece so we can see how much effort they made and how they put it all together to create their final piece.
That would also be to much work and to complicated for users entering. People still forget to add the IMG tags in their PHP code, or even forget the whole PHP code itself. I think if we made it more complicated, less people would enter, and SOTW will slowly die.

1. You can see how much thought, style & creativity the creator used for their sig.
I see your point, but it's also a bit private. It won't be their 'style' if everyone else can see how it's done, and then copy. Everyone is free to share their render and their PSD files in the discussion thread. But I can't make it a requirement to post in the entry thread.

5. Hopefully also it will make the voting alot diverse and fairer for all entries.
I really don't see how it would make the voting more fair. People will vote for the entry that looks best in their opinion. If anyone suspect anything else, report it to me and I'll subtract their vote and if necessary infract the user(s).
Sorry if it seems like I shot you down there. :p
I may make it a rule that people have to include the render/stock they used to avoid ripping, and to see how much work that was actually put into the sig. But then again. It's still possible to rip a sig and post the render/stock used. And people vote for the best looking sig, not for the one that has been putten most time into. So it would be kind of pointless.
