If I were to make a contest with a TBT prize for room designing where would I post it and what should I use as a prefix?
 
Whats with threads saying theyve been approved by mods is this a new requirement now to make a thread in brewsters or something
 
I'm not able to post in any threads at all. Is there some period of time I have to go without posting when making a new account?

Wait, are they moderating thread creation now?

If not, they probably asked the mods if they could post it before they did it.

Yeah most likely.. I don't think they go by Official (fan thread) thread like Gaia and those sites.

I want to clarify since I made a thread in the Brewster's forum like that. There are two reasons why I wanted to get approval from a moderator before I created the homework help thread.

First of all, the content of the homework help thread doesn't really fit any of the other forums on the site, and secondly, Brewster's Cafe is rather lax in comparison when it comes to rules. The thread that I created needs certain rules in order for it to be effective though - that's why I wanted to talk to a moderator and get their approval/opinion on the construction of the thread ^^.

I can't really say what the reasoning is for other threads though.

No, nothing like that! As Zandy said, certain members PM us prior to creating a new thread and state that it was approved as a sort of disclaimer. Requiring official approval in order to create a new thread is a level of strict that'd be a little scary. o_O

Huh that's actually a pretty nifty idea. We've always gotten the "can I make...?" PM's but the official "stamp" of approval is a good addition. I dig it. :cool:

That reminds me of the Cartoon Network forums. Only a moderator could create threads on those forums, and your messages have to be approved by moderator before you can have it posted. It's a submit to approval, then they can accept or reject. I'm glad TBT's not like that.

Here's another question. I asked this a few days ago, and it never got answered. Back during the hammer raffle, Justin said that before the raffle, he checks for potential suspicious activity. What does he mean by that?

People creating multiple accounts to buy tickets, then send the Hammer to their main account - or something along those lines rather.

I was thinking that the staff doesn't want us scalping collectibles. I mean, what if you bought the ticket for 99 Bells. You won the hammer, but you decided to re-sell it by hosting an auction or pricing it at 5,000 TBT. I think this is what Justin was saying. If yes, I can see why the rainbow feather and green pinwheel aren't giftable.

I know it sounded like I answered the question I asked, but I still want to know if this was the reason.

It's pretty much what Jacob said. Selling a collectible for a large profit doesn't really constitute "suspicious activity", even if you did win it in a raffle. :)
