Major Dilemma ?!? - DPChallenge Forums

Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 ED

I have been out of the loop for awhile and am trying to back in the DPC swing. This week, I have two images that I am confident will score at least a 6.4, however they are for each of the exclusive open challenges. Major Dilemma.

Does DPC frown upon a person having two memberships. I am currently a paid member and would like to open another account in order to submit both pictures this week. OR should I have kept my mouth shut and just done it.

Also, before responding, please understand that I am absolutely lazy and:
1. Did not search for this in the forums
2. Did not try to set up another account using my personal information to see if it would disallow me.

Thanks.

No. Duplicate accounts are very very very naughty.

I thought so!!! Now I have to make the decision. And as we all know...whatever image I don't choose would have scored higher.

If you had quietly opened a 2nd accound and Site Council or Administrators found out --- and they have amazingly clever ways of finding out -- you could find yourself banned from ever entering again and both accounts closed. Choose the best one and wish it luck.

I guess a better question would be...have you read the rules carefully?

Absolutely lazy will get your pics DQd (because you'll do something in editing that isn't allowed) and possibly you banned (because you'll do something like set up multiple accounts).

Poke around the DQ lists for the past couple of challenges to find examples of both.

Note that when you submit, you must check a box that says you've read the rules.

Sorry. I'll take my schoolmarm hat off now, but this is been a very serious problem this summer.

Yes, do be careful, we don't want another sticky situation to gossip about... and if you have questions, do ask.

Let's not get carried away about the "absolute lazy" comment and tie it to DQ's from challenges. I was simply stating prior to posting this thread, that I did not make an effort to search the question being asked.

It's good to see the DPC Audit Patrol is in full force this fine labour day. Beware cheaters...you will be caught.

Thanks for the comments.

I understand your "lazy" comment and sorry we are kind of overreacting... just pretty sensitive as a community to stuff like that right now.
