There are many things wrong with the contests, These are a few:

1) Free models are everywhere!
2) You say +2 if you vote! And people vote. This is against the rules anyway
3) If you vote incorrectly, you loose more accuracy than you would have gained if you voted correctly.
4) The voting system is just flawed because people vote for their favourite games normally etc...

Solutions:

1) Don't allow Free Decals or Models ingame, grey them out, just let people import their own models and decals.

2) There should simply be a filter.

3) Just balance it.

4) Introduce a time voting system:

You would earn points as a combination of how long you have voted for and how accurate you are, the latter making less difference to your score. This would be good because many people spend hours trying to get a good accuracy, to get to 89% and then voting three times in a row wrongly would put you back at 75%. It would be better if accuracy was just scrapped, but it having a small part in a new system is good.

Please comment on how your would improve, and what you think of this suggestion.

I go to a normal building place, find the models I need, upload them, use them.

No Support.

So don't enter a contest. I like this idea. Don't let people use models they didn't make. Even if they take one/remake it, it shouldn't count.

Honestly I agree but it is not possible.
Save free models to desktop
Insert them to contest place.

But the voting system idea is what I support.

A bunch of idiots enter their place in a contest and it doesn't even match the theme of the contest.

Numbers one, three and four are not problems.

There is nothing wrong with free models.
It is there to help you.
It is your fault for hating.
Why do you think they were created?

For number three, it is -supposed- to be like that.

And for number four, that is an assumption.
Do you have evidence that players only vote for their favorite places?
What if their favorite place is not one of the two options, which is very, very likely?
I do not understand why people would do this.
I am quite sure people would have the common sense to vote for the place of higher relation and quality.

Definite support and I also think that places entered in the contest should be related to it and not be zombie survival places and the like that you can usually see why voting

What is the point of "incorrect" votes anyway? That's just stupid, they're the reason I don't care about contests actually.

Support the Voting part but people always put places with free models can't stop that and the worst part is they don't relate to the theme or as I like to call them, Spam Entries and you get -5. Let's say you see a Theme Entry and you vote for it against an Empty Baseplate. Guess who wins? Yeah you're wrong the Baseplate -.-. It's annoying especially if you're going for an accuracy of 90% +.

Well then, how about no decals and everything has to be hand-built so to say. (Using only ROBLOX bricks and scripts)

I support. I'm just tired of people putting in stuff that isn't related to the theme. Then somehow I actually saw one where it was a place related to the theme vs an empty baseplate. Guess what won? The baseplate. I voted for the place that fight the theme and the baseplate won.

It doesnt matter if you use free models or not. It depends on the placement of them. You can randomly place free models and fail, or you can take your time and place it well to win. Also, the contest system is flawed.
