well they posted up above in this thread that the issue was related to getting the banner created, but yeah it could be related to the amount of simultaneous contests as well.
Since they havenāt delayed it officially, I just imagine some poor intern having to wait until 4 in the morning to take a picture of some currently printing santa hat and click āpublishā.

Hopefully whoever it is remembers to remove it from the Upcoming Contests list. They seem to forget that every once and a while.
Thereās still 17th in China, they still have timeā¦ Also itās a bit more time in UTC timezone, so that gives them more timeā¦ And thereās even whole day ahead if using Pago Pago time

No. Donāt spam tags, itāll put you lower in search.
Oh! tell me more - whatās the proper tag strategy? I was just basing that on this blurb they have here
1-5 tags max, and only for stuff thatās absolutely needed. The more tags you put, the less will match with someones search- thus the lower you are.

As many as necessary and as little as possible.
I was about to search for that thread but Zammer already covered that
Discoverability vs relevanceā¦ Darnā¦ Iāll try to keep mine in check, I think I slowly go lower and lower with the tagsā¦

Yeah, iāve experimented with this a bit, and yeah, less tags seems to work better, as counter intuitive as that is.

Everyone is turning into the angry mob banging on the doors of Walmart waiting for them to open on Black Friday.

No banner launch seems like a good idea.
