Yes, precisely. Competition cards may not be posted in the CI&A during the competition. Afterwards, feel free to do whateve ryou wish with your card.
This isn't a rule yet, the COs are discussing how we should handle this.
Actually it is a rule. It was implemented when we started that new section for competition submissions.
To explain to everyone, it should work like this:
1. Organizer starts a new topic in the Competition section
2. Participants post their card submissions in the Card Idea Competition Submissions (
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/board,232.0.html) section (one card idea per topic)
3. Participants go to the main topic in Competition section and post a
link (or links) to their submission topic
Current competitions use an incorrect system of having only one topic for all submissions, which is against the whole point of having a separate section for submissions. We can finish the current competitions using that system, but will go back to the correct system starting from the next competition.
