Explanation added to that thread
The idea of voting on the results has previously not turned out so well as one could hope. Once we had only a couple entries of clearly different quality, and in general it is difficult to expect many people to vote on the levels. I always found this odd, since I would think having another way to interact with the community could be very fun! Requiring designers to vote might work. Or only asking voters to pick between a couple of the best submissions to determine a winner.
I'll announce a new create competition shortly, and by the end of the submissions time we can figure out which method we want to use for judging it. Maybe we could even practice voting on the April Create Competition levels (which have been released but the competition has not been judged), if someone asked Flareon350 if he wouldn't mind.
Thanks also for all the competition ideas! In fact, I'm renaming this thread slightly to indicate that any new ideas can be added here even years from now. Keep them coming!
