Did, I read this correctly? "Cancel the Result"?

This is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard.

ADA is controlling the hobby and the hobbyists and indirectly we are helping them to do so. They told us to delete pictures and we are doing it obidiently.

blue33 · 08-25-2009, 08:33 PM

Well if you want to join ADA contest you got to abide to their rules, same for any forum you've join, you abide to the rules they have set. Would you voice out? Even if you do, after much threads written etc... the rules is still there. Nobody force anybody to do it if you didnt join them. Nobody force anyone to buy ADA product also, they are so expensive if you compare to other product, yet there are so many believer in their product and yet there are so many complain about it. LOL

Last and all, if you think they offended you or controlling you, just dont join the contest, etc.... If any of the country run without any rules set, i think it will be a chaotic world, dont you think so? Would you want to stay in a chaotic country???

IMHO

**Orlando** · 08-25-2009, 08:44 PM

Thanks Blue33,

Where can one find these rules to read?

Shadow · 08-25-2009, 09:31 PM

The email was send to top 127 participant. On the previous year you will receive piece of paper with the same message together with your rank notification mail.

Cool down

, they just want you to hold it back a bit longer not forever. They probably want to have an exclusive right to publish it first (like what AquaticScapers Europe requested on their competition). In my opinion it is quite reasonable request.

So far I never see them enforce that (maybe no publicly

), scare tactic maybe

and it work at least for me

. 3 years I join the competition and only this year I manage to enter top 127. Honestly, it does not hurt to hold off one or two more months

No they don't force anyone but try to control everyone. It's their contest and they have rights to line up the rules. By their super marketing tactics they have made IAPLC worlds #1 aquatic contest. But at the end, we are the hobbyists who made it a success. So while creating rules they also should think about everyones personal rights and freedom. Isn't it? just my 2 cent.

unfortunately when rule being create normally it is always benefit the creator
