ATh e a r t Again, I pointed out more than just 'personal' contests. Maybe I just have a funny definition of 'personal', but the RP contests that are held by members of the shop still have to ask for permission of the shop to do so. Even if they make up their own rules, doesn't mean that the event is 'out of' the shop. 'Cuz the lines are still part of the shop, right? Just because the event isn't held by staff, doesn't mean it's not part of the shop =/
Everyone has to ask permission before hosting a contest, but they are allowed to set up their own rules, and if they want to use a word, "Newbie", as a way to define set limitations on who may enter, they are free to do so. THEIR definition does not have to be the same as OUR definition.
It's not as though there are all that many general terms about for folks that are "New".

There really doesn't need to be any debate over something like this.
When the shop definition was announced, Felmino CLEARLY stated that the rule only applied to staff run events, contests, games, ect and that any customer run events were still free to use whatever definition they liked.
The whole purpose of the shop definition was to make sure that all shop run sales would stay on even grounds when it came to newbie soq counts, instead of bouncing around what each staff member felt a newbie was; 0, 1, 2, 5 soq, whatever.
However, again, customers are free to use whatever number they like for their own contest purposes. The shop is not bound to slap them to tell them to only go by the number 2.
Allowing customers to go by their own rule opens bigger doors for new people to come in to their contest.
Sometimes just going by the shop definition only brings in 10 people, as they raise the number the number of participants may grow for them, thus giving them a wider variety of people to choose from.
Sometimes if you just say, "Rp contest" the new people you are looking for get scared, however, if you say newbie, while still keeping the number reasonable, you attract more newbies while still having a chance to also choose from those whom are still new, but still kind of established and settled in to the shop.
Really, beyond giving them permission and maybe scanning the contest to make sure everything is fair we have no say in how they run their contests. If they want to go by shop numbers, fine. If they want to go a bit over, fine. As long as it is something reasonable and isn't hurting anybody then it is perfectly fine.
