Comment Moderation & Plagiarism Concerns

After a few inappropriate comments, we've decided to implement moderation on all comments posted. Unfortunately, we can only do this every coupla days due to our small team, so if you see anything you think we should take a look at, do let us know on our new Feedback Page.

A couple of guidelines for comments

1. Comments should be about the card, not the designer.
2. No foul language or comments that we deem offensive or deliberately confrontational
3. We will soon include a new "Report Plagiarism" link on every card. Please use this and do not comment on plagiarism directly in the comments section of the card. If we believe the card has been copied, we will take action.

Speaking of plagiarism, Foldees.com takes an official stand that we wish to support originality. This means that we might be removing a few cards from the competition, that we feel are not original ideas.

Foldees is broken on Internet Explorer 6!

A friend popped us a screenshot of how Foldees looked on IE6, and we were shocked. Seems it's totally broken and unusable.

We've tested the site extensively on IE7, Safari and Firefox, but unfortunately don't have the resources to test or customise the site for every single version of every single browser available.

So, to all IE6 users, we're SORRY! But you can download the Foldees RECOMMENDED Mozilla FireFox 3 here :)

Don't be a spoilsport

Guys, we've been monitoring the ratings that some people are giving, and it has occurred to us that some people are rating every card with a minimal score except their own.

This is seriously uncool. While we can't judge your opinions, we do want to site to be a true reflection of who has a better design, which is why we put the random ratings engine in place to prevent people from just voting for your friends.

Please note that in an extreme situation, where we have one designer who gets an abnormal amount of such votes (i.e. all 1s except for one entry), WE WILL DISQUALIFY YOUR ENTRY, and remove your card from the site.

If you've already done it, and you want a chance at winning the contest, please encourage your friends and family to vote on their own opinions and not just yours.

Also, apologies if you've been having problems with Sign Up. We've fixed the problem that some people seemed to be having with the Captchas, but if there are any other issues, please please please let us know at support@foldees.com.

Foldees needs your HELP!

Ok guys! We're finally up for reviews and comments! Sorry for the delay, but after we finished uploading the last card (about 5am on a Sunday morning), we had an earth-shattering bug that we had to exterminate before we could opened the site up.

Thankfully, everything's okay now (we hope), so go in and start rating! We need your ratings both to help us choose a winner, AND to help users to pick cards in future!

We also need you guys to help us spread the word! Let your friends know about it through Facebook, Friendster, MSN, your blogs, everywhere! The more people that come to rate the cards, the better for everyone :)

Here's a pretty flyer that you can send to all your friends to impress them.

A small delay.

Sorry guys, because of the huge number of entries that came in yesterday and the day before, we need to delay the launch of our site for 24 hours to approve and collate the entries.

Please come back to Foldees.com on the 27th of July, 12pm (GMT +0800).

Sorry to make you guys wait.

That's a wrap!

This is going to be a short post. Mainly because we've got a million and one things to do before the site goes live in approximately 36 hours.

We just closed the site at about 12.30am to give the last coupla entries some leeway. There's a teaser flyer there in it's place right now, and we're working to get rid of the IP address in the bar now. We will be re-opening (hopefully) at 12pm on Saturday, the 26th of July, for ratings and comments. Please tell ALL YOUR FRIENDS to come by on that date - be it by facebook, MSN, SMS or two cans and a piece of string.

In total, we received an absolutely ridiculous 189 contest submission. Quite a few of these were resubmits with tweaks, or problems with our Template. A few others who submitted late (and there are quite a number of you... tsk tsk) didn't have time to modify your submissions. We are currently collating the rest of the results, but we estimate to have about 70 finalised entries, give or take 5 or 10.

To all those who participated, thank you so much for taking the time to join. We are honestly in awe of the quality of designers here in Malaysia.

In awe.

To those who might not make the cut for various issues, we are very, very sorry. Please do join us for our next contest, launching in September. It's gonna be awesome!

Ok guys, see you in 35 hours. You're all champions to me.

You killed our server!

Just kidding. Well, technically, our server did sorta die, but i suppose it's a good problem to have. Coming into the last 24 hours of our contest, things have been anything but quiet.

We started receiving alot of last minute submissions and modifications to current designs, so much so that approximately between 0030 and 0230 on the 24th of July, the server started protesting. So we killed it and brought it back to life. I think normal people call this a restart :)

Gotta get back to checking submissions now.

Later dudes.
