The only restrictions I could think of that would actually work would be something like:
- Exclude people in payments (as at the date the contest is announced)
- Exclude previous contest winners (or people who have won at least twice including collabs)
Neither of which I actually agree with by the way, but I think those would make more sense than just banning someone based on read count (since can you really call someone a big author when they have 100k reads over 10 stories gained in 4 years?).
Again, I think excluding people is a horrible idea so I’m not actually suggesting we do this lol.
