    Default Point of "reserved"?

    To my knowledge, there isn't a cap to the amount of entrants for any contest, nor has there ever been one. So my question is, whats the point of commenting on a contest thread with "reserved"? Again to my knowledge, how much sooner your entry is than anyone else's does not boost your winning chance.

    75% of these reserves never include content before the deadline of the contest. It's just a waste of space imo.
    Anyone feel like enlightening me?

    Viable Reasons:

    • to let people know youre participating
    • to intimidate others into not participating by the number of "reserved" participants
    • to remind oneself to enter the comp.
