somebody shut me the fark up.
I don't know why I didn't do this first!:doh:
LET THE VOTERS DECIDE!:thumb:
First off, this is not a major point of contention for anyone, but a speedbump that needs to be ridden over, or driven around.
So let's handle this in the spirit of the BBQ Brethren Throwdowns by letting the Brethren decide how to handle this.
The issue at hand is whether to allow entries that do not match the current category into the Voting Thread for Throwdowns.
For example, if a Chicken Sandwich is entered in a Burger Throwdown, or for an extreme example (Heaven forbid), if Teriyaki Grilled Tofu Lettuce Wraps was entered in a Pork Ribs Throwdown.
Should these entries be disqualified, or should they be allowed in?
Please bear in mind these points of view...
View #1 - After discussing this at some length with others, my concern is not so much these dishes WINNING, but about people entering the Throwdowns simply to get no votes in order to join the Zero's Club. In my opinion that brings down the Throwdowns to where they become a means to get a guaranteed win at another thing that should rightfully be earned.
View #2 - If someone wants to post a picture of something that doesn't match the category in order to get zero votes, that is fine because some voters out there may actually like the dish and vote for it. So they would still have to earn it, and would probably still lose in the Throwdown by not getting enough votes from those who see it does not match the category.
Please take some time and think about it. Don't just vote a knee-jerk reaction to this, give it some real thought.
Here are the voting options...
Add a new rule requiring entries must match the criteria or be DQ'ed. This is really both a rule and a new description of the category. The rule is clear, the entry must match the category or be DQ'ed. The decription would state in the most basic form what criteria must be met in order for a dish to qualify. For example, a Burger Throwdown could have the following description for what qualifies:
The entry must be made using a patty from either ground meat or meat substitute (good luck with that one).
Leave things the fark alone already and let the voters deal with this chit! This is pretty dang self explanatory I think.
