Who's on first? That's what this is like.
I was thinking the same thoughts and luckily found this thread. So, do you think entering an image that I took a few days back would qualify? Then I would get DQ'ed for not following the time restrictions. But isn't that the point?

The only logical way to look at this is something that doesn't "Does Not Meet Challenge". This could be taken two ways:
1) You could interpret this as a free study. The double-negative would mean everything Meets the Challenge"
2) "Meets the Challenge". Again, a double-negative. In this case, however, it would be anything where someone met a challenge. A 100% grade, completing a task, etc.
A lot of people have suggested not meeting the rules. IMHO, that isn't the same thing, and will result in a DQ. |

yea, I wonder if there is going to be leniency towards the massive amounts of DQs I suspect this challenge will see.
Since when did DQ = DNMC? There is no special rule set on this challenge. |

There does seem to be a substantial amount of confusion between DNMC and breaking the rules. Here's a refresher for anyone interested: The DQ Process: A Voter's Guide |

To clarify, the Advanced Rules still apply. Editing, date, etc., violations will still result in a DQ. Whether an entry meets the challenge is a matter for the voters.
If we're lucky, all the literal-minded voters' hard-wired little brains will explode at the thought of scoring this challenge! ;-)

DNMC (Does Not Meet Challenge) can easily be construed as a break the rules
Because if you do "break the rules" then you are "certainty" NOT MEETING the Challenge requirements.
To argue any other way is contradictory to what DNMC means. The core of meeeting challenge is statisfying the rules at hand...
This is another example how challenge ideas are thrown out there with no regards to the implications of their own definitions. I would expect a lot of DQs, but to say that it DNMC a DNMC is a fallacy.
And I don't see a "Tips and Tricks" about DNMC, so pointing out one to DQs is silly.
Added note:
If you wanted this as DNMC in the truest sense here at DPC, the challenge should have been: "DNMC topic" or something similar.

Well now, first and I thought: "Hang on that's a little hard on the literal-minded there. I mean, they are people too." But then of course, if it's the brains that explode... Maybe that isn't too huge of an event to get upset about either :-) |

Like it or not, meeting the challenge and breaking the challenge rules are two different things and are not related.
From The DQ Process: A Voter's Guide:
"Bad reasons for raising a DQ request - these requests will most likely be ignored:
- The photo doesn't appear to meet the challenge topic."
From Challenge Rules - Voting Rules:
"You may not:
- recommend an entry for disqualification for not meeting the challenge."

Sure, sure, I agree. DNMC and breaking the rules are two different things. And as such you can break the rules and have a DNMC photo at the same time since they are not mutually exclusive. That's my point.
Pretend you have a new member on the site who may or may not read the forums. You then have a challenge that says DNMC. What do you think that would mean to them....
Look at the list:
Challenge: DNMC
Type: 24-Hour Member Challenge 24-Hour Member Challenge
Rules: Advanced Editing (Jan 14th)
Submission Deadline: Tuesday, April 1st, 2008
Description: Create a photograph that does not meet this challenge.
I can easily someone new to the site say, hey, DNMC...Type 24-hour... guess that means it does not have to be 24-hours... |

I think I'll give a vote of 1 on this one for every image that DNMC.

No, you misunderstand, you have to give a vote of 10 for every image that DNMC, that is what the challenge is!! Yes? No? Maybe? |

New members are responsible for reading the rules when they signup. When you submit you have to check the boxes saying you agree to the rules. While this can be a bit confusing, it's still the photographer's responsibility to know the rules. |

I am new (just became a 'member' today) and i was utterly confused by what DNMC means in the firstplace-then i serached around the site and figured it means "DOES NOT MEET CHALLANGE" and then read further that the description is to create a photograph that does not meet this challange" My -guess- would be that it means create a photograph that meets the challange because in turn it would not be meeting the challange? (not meeting the challange would mean meeting the challange?) hehe- then again i think its just a april-fools prank challange that was set in place and would be fun to try to make a photo for? i guess it would mean to create a photograph of not meeting challanges, or 'this challange' in particular (IE: take a photograph of someone who is pressing submitt on a beautiful photograph on their laptop or screen... and suddenly gets a DNMC across their screen :) *heh* J/k...) or i envision someone stamping in large letters "DNMC" on a hard-photo-copy like those mean teachers with the specticles giving you an F at school when you were young? Hrm- my creative imagination has run amuck on me...oh well... back to reading with my one working eye (since the cornia of my other eye was scratched by my daughter i'm half blind for the next 48hrs or so -heh- oh well... at least its april-fools day, and I can find humor in the day in general!)

yes but clarify for me (a new member) what DNMC -and how to create a photograph that does not meet this challange ? oh i get the whole advanced editing bit does it mean to meet the challange i must not meet the challange or to meet the challange i must break all the challange 'rules' ? its not very 'clear' in the description afterall --actually i almost read it as an oxi-moron, because to DNMC i might actually guess that its not actually a 24hr challange, or that its not acutally advanced editing for this challange of DNMC? how do you not meet a challange that has no challange description other than not to meet the challange? written for it? hrmmm.... wouldn't not meeting the challange mean breaking the rules? isn't that not meeting a challange? either way isn't the photo DQ'ed for DNMC? but in this case that's what they're looking for?

hey...if submitting a picture makes it meet the challenge then submitting nothing should make what I didn't submit DNMC. Which meets the challenge. But then we're not supposed to meet the challenge...
Aaaargh. What to do???

The only rule you must (and can) break is the one for meeting the challenge description. If you violate any other rules you will get DQ'd. But if you meet the challenge description, you've also violated it. It is an oxymoron, but just for the challenge description. |

Perhaps those finding it hard to come to terms with this whole DNMC concept should take out a subscripyion to DNMC magazine
Actually I thought the concept was easy. In my opinion take a photograph that is the complete opposite of the title you choose like a completely black photograph & call it white or green, anything but what it really is.
