{a wee notice}

I am currently running 4 LIMS communities. I am participating in [info]twilightlims + [info]gglims & I plan on signing up to both [info]starlight_lims & [info]xoxolims.
The question on whether mods should participate in LIMS challenges has always been up for debate & everyone has an opinion.

I believe that LIMS communities offer up a way to receive constructive criticism on your work & a way to grow and learn as an icon maker. I created/took over the 4 communities because no active ones existed + I wanted to participate in LIMS with those topics, leaving me little choice but to create them! In the hopes of growing as a icon maker, I did & I participate.
In the unlikely event of me winning any of the LIMS, I would not participate in the next sign up.

Every voting session is/will be unscreened after voting has closed: this is for 3 reasons.
---> you get to receive your feedback (this is also an incentive to be polite + constructive in your voting as it is unscreened)
---> so votes are open to be poured over, recounted at will.
---> so you can be sure I have cheated. I really never would consider it but it needs to be done that way! If you'd like anything else unscreened, let me know.

I am only human, I tally all votes by hand/computer & I'm sure at some point I will/have made a mistake. I like to think I am a very approachable person & I have no problem if you wish to raise issue with any of the votes, tallies or anything pertaining to the way I run the LIMS.

I love communities where members opinions are considered, and so that's how I endeavour to run mine!

{on a lighter note}

I noticed over at [info]xf_lims,there is a post for 'alternates':

Did you make more than one icon for this round?? Want to share your awesomeness with the rest of the crowd? Looking for feedback on why you should have picked a different icon to submit? Just looking for attention?

Post your alternate challenge 1 icons here!

I think that it's a great idea, to get construct feedback on your alternates, and perhaps your entries too?

What do YOU think about it all?
