/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Alright the challenges are pretty much done enough for now except for having them show up on the user's profile which I'll do after critiques. Future LAS:

The biggest change will be no more weekly LAS and Topic challenges. The focus will be shifted to the "streak." When you login it'll say that you've posted X days in a row and every day you post that number will go up, miss a day and it resets. It'll apply retroactively and tokens won't save your streak.

You'll be able to click on your streak and it'll show "Unlocks" which will show you what you can do on the site. There will be 2 columns where one is for total submissions (earn a critique request at x submissions, create a challenge at y submissions,) and the other for streak (vote in the tribunal at x, vote for topics at y).

The leaderboards will focus on the current streak, topic streak as well as a "participation" stat which will be weighted based on your participation in challenges, the tribunal, critiques, etc. That participation stat will be tricky to figure out because of new vs old scaling it to be fair but that can be figured out. There will also be a "Hall of Fame" that shows the highest streaks and things like that.

The way the new submission form will work: you'll be able to make multiple submissions each day but your streak will increase by 1 regardless of the number. The reason you'll be able to submit multiple is because you'll be able to apply your submissions to a challenge, or multiple challenges, that you've joined. So it you'd paste your link, click on the relevant challenges (or none) and hit submit.

I'm hoping these changes will give an incentive for newer members to stick around. As soon as they submit they'll have new things to do with the promise of more if they keep submitting. They'll also climb the leaderboards as they submit each day and there can be a new elimination for people who break their streak or break a record.

What do you think? I gotta draw so I'll be back in 1.5 hours
