Oh no, I totally understand. I think we sometimes forget that contests aren’t mandatory. Fashion is such a big part of the game, and I think FOMO is real with contests - not to downplay the unfairness because I agree that it is unfair to a certain extent. And yeah, as you level up and spend more time here, I think there will be less spending in general, but I think newbies that really want to participate anyway will continue to struggle to come up with actual winning outfits. Most contest winners are players who have been here for a while now, and they already have that base to work off of, like Alex said. 

Anyway, I think now knowing this sort of thing could happen, that it could be a good idea to define it in the rules when creating a new contest - moving forward. For those who don’t want to allow this (or do want to allow it, I guess), they can explicitly state that from the start so we know what to expect. 
To go along with that, if a contest allows screenshotting rather than buying, I think judging should be stricter, since they literally have limitless opportunity.

No matter what the system is like, it'll be unfair towards someone. And if I have to make a choice I'd rather support the long-term players and payin' for outfits. New players are awesome and it's even better when they stay and continue playin', but most people quit before they get to level 20 and caterin' to them is probs not the best idea :/ So I agree with you Railophone, maybe contests have to include this in their rules if it's an important factor. I really like that this contest has a "no flipping or editing images" rule. I just don't know how you'd define this as a rule: "you must show your outfit being worn on your profile"? It's kinda difficult to even prove that someone did it like this. For instance, what Bambi and Railophone do 'cuz they're runnin' outta outfit slots would appear the same as someone who didn't even buy the items for their looks :/

I think it's good to have some talk about this thing...
Items for this and our previous contests have been affordable. In this contest nobody needs 30k dress to win, more likely they should purchase these 630B$ pumpkins and go through the scary section in shops :D
Of course I understand the struggle of newbies but in the end we all have been there... So if they keep playing and learning, eventually they will success. 

Isn't it even a little disrespectful towards the contest itself, hosts and other participants to send a screenshot from shops instead of using items that they actually own? :S I mean, while hosts use their real time and effort to entertain bimbos and may even themselves purchase stuff from shops to make example outfits (like I had to do for 4th round :PPPP ). Not to mention all the work and messages we have to send away to keep things running. Hosting contests is really fun especially it has been great with Bambi but the least bimbos could do is to put their real effort to it too :)
And while other participants use what they own and/or save B$ to purchase what they need, there is someone who goes to shops, find the items they need and send then a screenshot of it...? Luckily it's not possible for DQFC, and it's an automatic contests! Nobody has to make banners, send messages to primebimbo, kimsim and in this case even forum moderator to keep things running.... 

I guess the only way to prevent this happening is to ask bimbos send the actual images - not uploaded ones. It's easy to check just by opening their image. I totally get their concerns about those images disappearing thanks to our flawed image system, but I have saved every single outfit of this contest and each participant has their own file on my laptop now, it also makes looking at their overall looks easier. And I also message bimbos if their images don't show. So it shouldn't be a problem.... 
One of the main reasons I added no editing/no flipping to rules is that we saw some edits/flipped images in the previous contest and sure they could have been just screenshots from shops too :///

It is quite a bit disrespectful, especially if you do it repeatedly and systematically. But I don't think Sandi meant anythin' bad by it and it really wasn't my intention to besmirch his good name :( 

You're right Toki, we've all been there. And while gettin' B$ takes longer than spendin' it (LOL), most new items tend to be intentionally cheaper so people can afford 'em. And in my opinion, the new stuff tends to be of a higher quality than the old stuff - especially the really old stuff. And yeah, at the end of the day all the contests are optional (well, kinda, it's really hard for me to resist enterin' like every contest xD).

Noo, Sandi always has a special place in my heart :) 
But it would upset me (as a host and as a participant) if someone won with totally borrowed outfit when someone else has put some real effort in their outfit in the same time.... 

Omg the real old stuff, they are totally taken from the very first bimbo game, MaBimbo, which had totally different design.... :S

I have to say that I only told Alex that as sort of a joke in the forum somewhere. I did enter a contest once with borrowed clothes (a dress) but I never intended to cheat or so. I didn't win either and I was glad I didn't because I did feel bad about it. It was never my intention to encourage anyone to cheat and was really surprised Alex bringing it up. I don't appreciate that my name is being used to encourage "cheating" either. I am all for short cuts like the trick to score maximum on the memory games but not to use clothes you don't have in a contest :)

This all sounds good. I’ll start doing the original way of posting outfits again, and I’ll just save my outfit on my computer to ease my paranoia lol :P 

I’m glad we were all able to have a really good thorough discussion on this!! It was super respectful and has eased my mind.

Yeah, I don't even see a logic in those down votes. Sadly it happens in many contests. I have no idea what it could be about, maybe jealousy?
