Just FYI I added a "Last Updated" bit at the bottom of the thread to hopefully avoid some confusion about whether its accurate or not since forum members only see posted date.

It's related to Steam Maintenance. We are seeing it across the board right now with both official and non-official.
Yes, it's happening on Valguero on all platforms.
That won't happen. As it will interfere with our moderation process. Users could easily do/say something terrible and then delete it and claim they hadn't.
I've been dealing with the reports as they come in. Unfortunately when it comes to DoS there are limitations especially when it concerns game servers due to the type of traffic. Given that this is an Oceanic server we are much more limited in our DoS protection and mitigation versus our other regions since we use a different host provider. However with that said, I have dealt with the various traffic coming in a few times today on this server (assuming it's the one that's been reported a few times today) but it's not something that is automatically handled and I don't monitor the server 24/7 simply because I have > 4,000 other servers that require attention as well. Also, I do not typically reply to outage reports nor do I handle tickets in the support system so you won't really see any responses from my end apart from occasional tweets and forum replies like this on these types of issues.
I'll take that as a yes, you're welcome.
I've updated the Microsoft API. Could you check if it's working now? Thanks
This is now fixed.
What you're seeing is an error in the JS for the Mod Contest Countdown timer script. Nothing at all to do with the new 'mystery' countdown banner I put up. But thanks for pointing that out, i'll let Josh know he needs to fix it
Thanks for letting me know, i'll look into it!
The dev team is aware of the issue.
At this time I do not have an ETA for you though.
There is a community-run discord that most of the modding community lives in. https://discord.arkmodding.net/
The contest manager application was custom made, and there are still some things I would like to add to it in the future. Right now though it's completely automated for scoring and calculations.
An audit API for viewing aggregate voting data (after a contest has concluded) is one of those wishlist items.
(Wishlist is definitely a key point here though, as all of this has a time cost associated with it and I'm the only one who knows how this application works right now.)
The maps all moved to the finals because there were only 10 eligible maps. Based on the rules (10 finalists selected per category) they all go forward regardless of the internal voting scores.
Currently, all voting is anonymous, I didn't even know who the finalists were going to be until the system made the results public.
Character and integrity aside, it just wouldn't be worth the potential risks.
Enhance your base with these automation systems. Build a factory that works while you hunt. Start an industrial revolution.
Voting begins on 7/21/2019 5 PM PDT
Spotlight videos are being released starting tonight and going until Friday.
They didn't start last night because it was a blind vote. I didn't know who the finalists were going to be until the contest management system tallied the scores and made the finalists visible.
I just did some work on this and it should hopefully be resolved going forward.
MAINTENANCE COMPLETE
At 12:00pm Eastern on July 3rd we will be taking down some of our PC servers for maintenance. We expect maintenance to last for approximately 2 hours. During this time the servers will not be running therefore time will not progress. Once the servers are back online, they will require re-adding to your favorites list as they will have new IP addresses. Below is a list of all affected servers.
