Hello, I tried to upvote the comment about raging mage even tho it's a "competing" answer to mines because it's so good, but it says that only certain members can vote, is it because we're participants that we're not allowed to upvote answers?

@Andarer - you must earn enough reputation points to upvote questions and answers. See the full table of unlockable privileges here - https://www.tibiaqa.com/moderation-how-community-participates

Thanks, I just joined yesterday so I had no idea, but I wanted to play fair and give props to competitors who deserve it :p with some luck my answers will be worthy of receiving points so I can also give to others.

Hello @Ellotris Guardian, it's come to my attention that some of the recent entries seem to be done with AIs, which I'd have nothing against if AIs actually provided a correct answer but that doesn't even seem to be the case. But if it were the case that an answer was correct, how would the detection of AI answers be taken into consideration in the terms of the contest? I've not noticed any comment about it.

Hi @Andarer
As per the selection criteria in the contest rules, the quality and correctness of answers are a major factor for this contest. If you've spotted an incorrect answer, you are more than welcome to comment on it - see https://www.tibiaqa.com/answering-incorrect-answer

Hi all. Since we have only a fraction of votes in the internal voting so far, the deadline for CMs and fansite admins to cast votes has been extended. We aim to announce the results by the end of this week.

Gotta say, it wasn't that easy to find unanswered questions that could spark interesting answers, which means the community has done a good work in keeping the questions answered. But I guess every asker deserves to be answered even if the question seems more trivial
