I think we should have a company rep in the contest thread too, for any questions we might have about their product.

If we have to slow down and number our posts for the day, that would slow down the spamming

If the post is dated and numbered then it would be counted in the contest, any unnumbered posts don't count.

No matter what is done everybody is not going to be happy with it. I think the 50/50 is the best way to go.
Yeah it was, but Innokin is not you're average company, they're really community focused. We do give people the option, but none of them take it...
It would make it easier on you guys and the members. I know the language thing comes into play, but a lot of us can read broken English and make sense of it. We like having Reps around, makes it feel like they care about their product and the end customer.
I would think the ratio would be different. There are probably 50 "chatters" per contest and then another 200 entries with low post counts. 70/30 would probably be closer to accurate.
I would also consider that if a contest is going on for a week then 7 posts is "normal" and not counted against someone for being in the weighted post count section.
I think the way it was stated is that everyone is included in each draw. One for each name in the thread and one for each post (weighted) No one would be limited to a particular category.
Well, I think you're going to get a different idea from each depending on whether they are a chatterer or a "normal" participant. 50/50 is fair since everyone has the choice to be either a chatterer or a "normal" poster.
If you're going to balance the odds between the weighted and random parts, then there is no point to having the weighted part. Without the weighted part, you take some of the fun and incentive out.
Another option for a contest would be the "quick draw" entries. Announce when it would happen a day in advance so it invites more people into the competition.
Some people work and can't spend the amount of time on the pc as others.
One winner per household every 30 days, just like they do it on the Radio.
Anybody can enter and chat away, but if you've won in the last 30 days, you're not eligible to win.

Hey Neil! I think that choosing a random name in the contest thread is the fairest way to give out prizes. of course, you need to post at least once in this thread.
I feel that giving out prizes on post count would encourage people spamming...no?
On another note, people who posts in other threads to help people out with their vaping device could have a better chance to win. Maybe incorporate some kind of ''recommend'' or ''vouch'' button to helpful posts in other key sections of the forum. (I.E: ''rebuildable atomizer systems'' section) This, in turn, would encourage people to help each other out in various sections of the forum along with giving them more chances to win prizes.

Personally I had fun when LTN did a quickdraw round. As a "because we want to" round it was great, guessing albums at ECF's secret lair was pleasant, though undoubtedly causes some folks angst (those who can't play because of other activities).
(Then again, there will always be some folks finding angst
)I've seen people say this and then turn around and make 100+ posts in other threads the same day.
Not all contests are fair. Like the main draw part. I have no chance in that as I don't have a huge social media following. I wouldn't take that away from those that do though. That's what the companies want.

That's what I was thinking along the lines of (for at least a few prizes), as we're all in the business of helping fellow vapers - I just wondered if the like button was a good way of getting to the right posters
