All I'm saying is that we shouldn't assume things...Zen has a life too...

Now I don't hang out on the forums much so I have no idea who you are. If you're not a small child, I apologize in advance for what I'm about to say.

Yes, she has a life. But this isn't because she has a life, this is because of various requests by unknown individuals.

There's such a thing as an intelligent debate in life. Freedom of speech is a constitutional right. Nobody's calling anybody names. People are voicing their disappointment. You can stop trying to cool people off, now, nobody's dying. Anger is a healthy energy. We are not sheep, we're not doormats, we're not abusive and we are capable of handling intensity like adults.

There's such a thing as continuity. Contests were held before on V-day and other holidays throughout the years. It's not usually announced, but it has always happened. It's not an obligation for the creator to keep making contests. But it is safe and fair to expect them when they haven't failed to happen on every single previous occasion.

There's a way to announce things, and there are ways to accommodate people. Changing the date is fine. People will adapt.

But doing so a mere hour before the event is usually considered bad form. And disrespectful to the participants. Especially when said requests were not made public.

With all of that said, EvilDeedz, your princess Zen is not in imminent danger. Hopefully she can take criticism, and even if she can't, she's not bleeding right about now. Either way, she's an adult and can stand up for herself. You're not doing her a favor by dissing smurfs.
