To All Contest Hosts

when you send out a mail that a contest is now in the voting phase PLEASE do not add the link to the hosting group without also adding the link to the contest itself! add the link to the contest!!

Very good suggestion! I have even gotten e mail that say voting has started which do not name the contest at all, let alone provide a link to it.

Or heck, don't send out any emails! I regularly check my "Behind the Scenes" (contests) to know when voting has started in the contests I entered.

I could not agree more! If I get an email telling me voting is open, and there's no link to the contest, that email gets an immediate dose of the delete key.

Since most people seem to enter the contests for the exposure and not the win, (which the vote solicitors have tied up anyway), and therefor enter a lot of them, who the heck has the time to go digging to see which contest is open for voting?

the missing contest link in a mail inviting one to vote is notoriously old hat. but what is new are the "please vote" mails that include a link to the hosting group yet no contest link in sight.
