I wonder what this could be. Oh! It's another contest announcement... arghhhh!!!

Contest announcements simply should not appear in the ordinary messages section. I only say this because my message count of late has been so desparately low that I've actually had more contest announcements than activity messages or comments or replies It's just like getting a text message and finding that it's from your service provider; or like if you're waiting for a call from someone you really like and then someone else calls you and for a second you think "oh great" and then you see who's actually calling you. Infuriating... but aside from that I'm not actually in a bad mood
