2024 ATLTF Build Off Entry Instructions

How this forum works:

Make your entry post here. One of two things will happen; your entry will be approved, or your entry will be denied (or DQ).

If your entry is approved, the title of your topic will be edited to include the tag "[24], and at the base of your post it will be stamped by the Admin who approved it and what day they approved it. In addition, you will be added to the Build-Off 2024 group and be awarded a Profile Badge.

If your entry is denied (DQ), the title of your topic will be edited to include the tag '[DQ - Doesn't meet criteria] and the topic will be locked. The Admin who locked your topic will state the reason why, and how to fix it. The topic will then be deleted after 7 days to allow you to read why and how to/ what to include in your new topic.

Or, an Admin or MOD will add a reply as to why your post was denied.  You can fix it by editing your entry post using the pencil button  and messaging @MightyRaze to review.  An Admin or Mod will monitor for 7 days.  If no changes the topic will then be deleted after 7 days and you will need to re-enter.


FAQ

Q: What is the purpose of this forum?
A: To enter into the Build-Off. Entries are held here to be reviewed by Admin staff to ensure all entries meet entry criteria.

Q: Why can't I reply to a topic?
A: To aid in staff messages being seen, replies are turned off.

Q: What if I need to update build progress?
A: If your topic is in here, it means it is still an application. It would be wise to hold off on progress until you get approved to be sure you aren't missing anything.

Q: My topic has been here forever and hasn't been reviewed, can I start building?
A: We are not to say when/ what you can/ can't build, but if your entry is here you shouldn't build on your machine. If it has been a few days and nobody has reviewed your topic, send a PM to @Doug or @MightyRaze.

Q: What if I have a question on my entry?
A: Either PM one of us as mentioned above, or maybe get some peer help over at the 2024 Discussion Thread.
