::What about putting a disclaimer on the top i.e. ''Submissions not following the contest rules will be removed from this page'' and removing them? The logos themselves are still uploaded and etc, so no big harm. A "Maemo" logo will not win the contest in any way, so it's not like the author is losing something in practical terms. They better know asap that their entry hasn't been accepted.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 03:09, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Proposals with "Maemo"

Even if it's clear in the instructions that the logo needs to have the text "maemo.org" and only that, there are many proposals on "Maemo". What should we do with them? Take them out of the submissions page? It would be counterproductive that other designers see the proposals and think that despite the rule it is ok to send more "Maemo" proposals.--qgil 20:30, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

X-Fade and I were discussing this on #maemo earlier. We could:
  • Drop the non-compliant submissions onto a separate page.
  • Mark them as non-compliant with a template with lots of red borders and text.
  • Remove them outright and notify the submitter that the submission is non-compliant.
Not sure what the best solution is, but we do need to do something about it soon. —GeneralAntilles 20:42, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
