This is despite the staff saying after each contest they are looking into said flaws for their next contest. I can understand maybe being stubborn with their format after the first one's controversies, just to give it a fair chance again and see if it works for them...but there's no excuse now. I think they shortened the lengths of their rounds a little, but that's the most they've done to it.
This will potentially be the contest 4chan butchers the least, but -- because I see GameSpot's stagnant in its bad decisions -- I still care as little as ever about their contests. I just want to see the winner and how Epona does, and I don't know if I can stretch that out over a month anymore for GameSpot!
