Bitcoin Forum

I report users who post consecutively when their posts should be merged and the moderator successfully merges them. Now, since I'm joining  contest and need to post my entry maybe 2 or 3 consecutive entries, I'm posting them consecutively rather than into one post. Because —This is for better presentation and because I'm concerned that image links might not be visible or work properly.
My question is, Is this okay to post consecutive entries in the contest? Or will my entries possibly be merged by the moderator like what I do in my reports?

Edit: I already posted two of my entries in different and consecutive posts. Hopefully moderator won't merge it. 😔

I think if the images are too large to be in one place, it's okay to post them in a role, although I also think that should be based on the contest requirement. 
 
I have seen threads where the Op, due to how large the content of the thread is, makes the first post move the other content to the next and the next, so the content of what's being posted determines if it should be merged together or not.

Sorry man but, I think it’s highly unnecessary what you’re suggesting. Haven’t been on the forum for a bit, I’ve had to witness a lot of contest come and go, those that involves posting of pictures like we had in the Pizza contest and those that could require you having to predict the price of Bitcoin at least once or twice before a specific date and they’ve all being going smoothly, even with large files.

If you feel your file is too large, you might just drop a link to the image hosting site and that too could solve your issue although, it would require organizers to look up your image on a different site.

Consecutive posting rule is an attempt to moderate spam and allow for interactive discussion within a thread.
A page on the forum accommodates about 20 comments. Imagine if I were to post 20 images, I would end up taking the whole page and then the next person does the same. It’s a bad bad idea.

Post your image and it would work just fine without having to post consecutively. If it’s too large, reduce it. There is beauty in having to quantify what image you’re posting. Use this code for reduction of you please:


You can play with the digit variables as you please.

as Smartvirus have mentioned you can edit the height and width of the image you are going to post, you can also click the preview button to see what your post will look like after clicking "post" and if there are inconsistencies or problems with what the image will look like you can just easily edit it.

out of curiosity, what contest are you talking about?

Image size should not be an excuse for making a consecutive post when we can edit and resize them, also making a consecutive post may appear as if we are spamming because that same content could have been merged in one place and still carry the same meaning or meet up to the target expectations, if making this is not ideal for any member of the forum in making post, then same should not be applicable on any contest or related purpose.

What makes you concerned about that? There are posts with more than 50 images and they are all perfectly visible and working properly, see this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5498889.msg64171197#msg64171197) as an example.
As suggested by other members above, just find the perfect height and width for your images and position them well within a single post. You can always use the "hr" tag to separate the sections for different entries and it will look good, for example:

Entry 1

[image]

---

Entry 2

[image]

The Icopress post you referenced is made up of pizza images which are small and could be merged in just one post. This cannot be said about Mr. Roo contest which requires cool large image almost of human length.
The best approach is to post one, host others and link them up. But Op aired his concern about inadequate linking or so. So, he prefers all being displayed as a single image. If it is just two or three pictures, mods might allow him only if they see this post. But if it won't go well with many and especially with the rules of the context, the mods might merge the images.

Usually, contest such as like what Hhampuz on roobet (or etc) is doing have all the instructions on how to submit such entry. Image can be dynamically changed by size (height and width) so it's not that difficult. Besides that, the contest maker will probably collect all the HD images by direct links and compile it then submit to panel of judges that can be view on different platform, e.g. in spreadsheet not from here in the forum due to loading issues.

It was easy to see since, OP actually wrote to have published the images that prompted the creation of this thread only before. Anyway, I checked that out and it’s a Logo creation contest for Sportscore, an incoming sports data website of which, I see something really nice form Jayce already but, here is OP’s entry, haven’t arranged it myself apparently.


Now tell me, doesn’t this look better in presentation, it compacts the image and with just a look, one can get the whole idea behind and adorn the image.

As much as the posting one and host others still goes,
It doesn’t matter if the image is human length or not. You’re still not going to post it on a display system that would be human length. So long as it’s to be displayed on a handy device, it can always be adjusted to fit the display screen. That’s why there are resolutions to a device and even then, you could always adjust for better presentation. I think I just solved OP’s problem right there.

It’s a logo, it’s still going to be cramped, give them that cramped version to it.

+1 I agree with this. Consecutive posts are a problem (in addition to spam) due to the impact on readability. The post can be arranged to contain all the planned info and even images.

Now I'm a little curious, about which contest is in question when it is so important that the participation be in several consecutive posts.

In as much as I think you want to make your pictures or designs more appealing to see, it will definitely make the whole thread looks shattered, imagine everyone has to do same thing as you that will give the coordinator of the giveaway it self more time to go through pages of threads and also makes it look cumbersome to read or look through by other members.

The suggestion to actually reduce the width/heightis a better one if you ask me. The only way you wouldn’t get your posts merged is there is a different members post in between your two posts otherwise you can’t go pass it.
