Not sure in which .admin forum this belongs; please FUT as appropriate.

I'd like to call for a simple contest involving clone bricks and I wondered if
it would be appropriate to make announce it in .build.contests, in .build.mecha,
in .announce, in .space, in .insert-relevant-group-here, or only in
.off-topic.clone-brands.  Naturally I don't want to step on the TOS of any
respective group, and I would set the FUT to go only to ot.clones, but I hoped
it might be acceptable to make at least the initial announcement in the
non-off-topic group to which the contest most closely relates.

I've previously announced clone-based Blacktron homages in .space with an FUT to
ot.clones, and this seems to be have accepted by the masses.  Would the same
apply in this case, or does an announcement carry a special significance that
would be ill-served by a mention of clones?  If it's deemed to be suitable only
for ot.clones, that's fine of course.

Good questions, Dave!

I've raised this with the Admin team... We'll mull this over and get back to you
with an answer with our usual alacrity(1)... this contest doesn't start for a
month or two I hope?(1)

XFUT to just .terms

1 - that's what we call humor, son...
