Hello.
Have you ever been in a PMC contest?
Maybe the Island Resort or the Sky Limit.
And you build an amazing Castle/Casino with 10 floors, auto redstone and good design.
You are so proud of yourself and you have a good feeling you will make the final.
Then a week later you find you have only gotten 20 views, 2 downloads, and a diamond + comment from a new miner.
You go to the "Whats Hot" or the "Most Views/Downloads" and you see the projects.
You are so shocked to see they are just copies of yours except magnified in size,

-Similar detail
-Concept similar
- BUT its 20 times the size!

If this has ever happened to you even if this IS outrageous or if something LIKE THIS has happened then i feel sort of the same way.

Projects with SPC [Single Player Commands] and MCedit are becoming very popular because of their size and even there randomness.
For example, Sethbling, he has something called "Skygrid Survival" and i watched the video and apparently it is a MCedit filter which probably wouldn't take much time at all! And guess what? It currently has 1475 Diamonds!!!!!!!!!!
And since i love making creations, this is a major problem, Competition and Labour

Competiton: People with MCedit and SPC
-You: Small, took 1 week, carefully thought, looks great.
-Them: HUGE, took a day, carelessly thought, looks ok.
Now i'm not saying all projects that MCedit and SPC have been used in are bad. I'm just saying its unfair for everyone who doesn't have those mods/tools.
I don't. and i am sort of annoyed about it.

Labour: Placing blocks repetitively
Labour is annoying me.
It took me a week to make my PvP Parkour Arena and i used a fair amount of blocks in the process.
but with MCedit/SPC i could of done it in minutes.

After reflecting i feel that no mods/editing tools should be allowed in contests as some people will finish them much faster, and get a better result then people with vanilla. but allowed in projects.

Please

Yes I find this very true. I am one to make huge builds, but they take months, because I don't use world edit and MCedit. Diamond to you my friend.
