As far as suggestions or opinions, I feel that the most important thing is to be consistent. What bothers me most about the majority of contests out there is when the mods disappear, and let things slide. They don't stick to the schedule. They set a deadline for submissions, and then don't put up the vote for long past that. They leave the voting up for weeks without any word about why the delay. They post new challenges when they feel like it. Or they post a challenge, and then disappear for months, and sometimes never come back at all. All of this tells me that they don't really care about the com they're running, and they don't respect the people participating. As long as we do what we say we're going to do when we say we're going to do it, things should all work pretty well. :)
