Quite the statement coming from someone who hasn't been on these forums for more than a couple days. Think you first need to take part and experience it before making assumptions about it, because so far it's been very successful and beneficial to the community (long standing members please correct me if I'm wrong?). If we have a scheduled event (at a specific time & date), maybe 10% of the folks that would usually compete would actually take part. If we have a week long event, we probably have one or two cheating themselves. Do I want to leave out the 90% of artists that usually take part because I'm trying to stop 1-2 cheaters? No, this is a learning tool which we'd like to open to as many people as possible. I understand your competition mindset but the thought-process is larger than that. The main point being what's said on the first page:

Who are you competing against ?

Yourself. These challenges are for your benefit, what you choose to make out of them is up to you. It is entirely your choice how you want to structure your workflow, place detail or decide the amount of tri's you want to use !
Cheers
