We don't need a unified point system at all! We need a RANK with rating stars/bar (less like -- most like) AND COMMUNITY USER POINTS. Rank and stars/bars are used to follow the contest's progress. USER POINTS – you have to earn them being in community plus for participation in the contests. I think if designer has 2nd rank with three-four stars he definitely goes to the right direction. If designer has 1st rank but 2-3 stars means that you also in the right direction but CH expects some more work on it..
We need smth like this:
Situation 1: Contest is open.
+50 points for early entry.
+500 reporting the exact vector stock / traced images by providing overlayed image.
Situation 2: Contest is finished:
+1000 points - 1st place (gold)
+500 points - 2nd place (silver)
+400 points - 3d place (bronze)
+100 points - 4th place
+70 points - 5th place
+50 points - 6th place
+40 points - 7th place
+30 points - 8th place
+20 points - 9th place
+10 points - 10th place
EXCLUDE DUPLICATES (if designer has 3 designs ranked 1st, 3d and 4th places he gets only 1000 points)
Situation 3 (community related): In case Plagiarism voting system is implemented:
+300 points winning the voting
-500 plus violation point for the loosing.
Situation 4 (community related): In case of a "newbie pre-screen" is implemented (new users have to upload, lets say, 15 different logos in order to became a fully functioning DC user), before that - he/she is on probation.
5 points to review the entry submitted by a new member
5 points – voting for a new member.
This option is for the old users who have a certain amount of user points, lets say, 5000

I think that would be a great idea. They could make it so that if you scroll over your ratings it would show the definition that the contest holder choose for the design. Below is a image of what I am talking about.

I think this is a great idea! It would also be awesome if, along with the definition, have any comments associated with the submission appear when you scroll over it.

First, I think we need order for us. To get feedback I find disturbing the way some of the comments are on the site… Dozens of: “Dear CH, please tell me…â€Â, “Dear CH I just uploaded…†and so on. I would say that less than 1% of designers’ posts are real questions about something related to the brief or design or anything that might not be clear. Everybody expects feedback. Praying for it does not help communication on site. There must be rules about that.
Second, the system can be upgraded in many ways; some of them may be seen on this thread. Until that happens, I suggest DC site to encourage the CH to eliminate everything that has no future. This takes less time than rating and a lot less time than posting directions.
PS: I’m new and I haven’t decided if I like more the blind contest or not. BUT… Is it normal this avalanche of requests to make a contest blind? Shouldn’t be a little more discretion better than complaining to the CH that somebody can/will/do steal your work?

When the contest is not blind I prefer the mentioned idea that only the owner who can see the rating (need the site improvement), hence the entries are sorted by number achieved when the entry is uploaded.

I've entered some contests like that where CH has eventually come back and rated. I even won a couple contests in those situations - from no rating at all to gold. (While other entries had ratings). Nice surprise! I know it does make me wonder if they are looking at all entries, but if the entry has not been eliminated, I guess it could be considered a good thing - you could still have a chance. It would be nice though if all entries were rated so you know where you stand in the contest.

Because they are blind I don't know if they don't give any feedback or just to me:) I guess the CH's have their resons not to give feedbacks but maybe they dont relise how important is this for us.
