SOTW Rules! (Sig Of The Week) — updated 28/09/2007

The rulebook for fkn0wned's weekly signature-making contest, laid down by Niggorex himself.

This is the pinned rules post for the 'Sig Of The Week' subforum on Fkn0wned.com, a GFX/design contest where members submitted Photoshop signature graphics for weekly voting. Posted and maintained by moderator Niggorex, it lays out entry requirements (size limits, formats, one entry per person, no editing tricks), voting eligibility (15 posts minimum, no self-voting, IP monitoring for spam votes), and a weekly Monday-to-Sunday cycle culminating in a winner announcement. It also plugs Niggorex's own personal image/file hosting site as the mandatory place to upload entries. A small window into the site's GFX Basement culture and its tight, rule-heavy community moderation style.

SOTW #36 - Theme: Girls

Week 36 of the forum's Sig-Of-The-Week contest, GFX artists asked to go make some 'girls'-themed signatures.

This is a recurring Sig Of The Week (SOTW) contest thread from Fkn0wned.com's GFX Basement, hosted by staff member Niggorex, who ran the weekly graphic design competitions. Round 36's theme was 'Girls,' with the usual structure of a Sunday-to-Sunday submission window, a following week of voting, and the winning sig getting posted in an official Winners Section. It's a routine but telling snapshot of the site's active GFX/design subculture running alongside the cheat-database and gaming boards.

SOTW Rules Update: Entries Must Use Niggorex.com Image Host

The admin's own image host becomes the mandatory dumping ground for Sig Of The Week entries

A site administrator (Niggorex, running under both an Administrator and later Manager title) announces a rule change for the Sig Of The Week contest: all SOTW entries now had to be hosted on his personal free image/file hosting service, Niggorex.com. The post is essentially a promotional announcement for the host itself, pitching its free public and private uploaders, storage limits, and bandwidth caps. It's a small but telling snapshot of how site admins cross-promoted their own side projects through community contest rules.
