He may have I didnt read ALL there posts before I made mine.
But same general idea there. Split it between past count/non post count but the higher percent going towards non post count.

I gotta agree with this.
It would also be nice to have a company rep in the thread.
Most of us understand Chinglish, and can help out. It just adds confidence, shows professionalism, and is kinda the whole idea behind this type of marketing isn't it? Connect with the enthusiasts to generate new customers?
They should be involved.
innokin set a benchmark with the disruptor contest. They were incredibly professional.
It would be nice to see the others at least try to do as well.
Just curious - if the high post is 1000 and entrants with 1 post also win - which contest would the 50, 100 or 500 post person be entered in?
That was fun - random draw one day and another day with different questions posted about your thoughts on vaping with a couple days to answer - no right or wrong answer.which gave the people with few posts equal chances of winning.
I can't help but see some irony in the fact that several posters here, who make 1 or 2 posts in a contest thread, typically only to complain about the post count method, have seen fit to give their opinion in THIS thread, MANY MANY times now, about how it should not be weighted by post count. Hmmmm.....
And the opposite is true as well.... the ones who make lots of posts in the contest thread want it weighted. I can spam with the best of them.
heavens forbid someone should weigh in on how they would like to see contests run....in a thread asking for suggestions on how people would like to see contests run. Everyone has just as much a right to put in their
Seriously Louis.... you've entered a lot of the contests, what percentage of entrants are "small number of entries" and what are the "more active participants" in your opinion?
Oh look, Louis won agai .... wait Oh look, Louis has an irony, wait... Oh look, Louis has several posters .... wait
... what are we talking 'bout again? Oh yeah, it's a contest folks, kwitgerbichen.
I thought LTN asked for feedback? No???heavens forbid someone should weigh in on how they would like to see contests run....in a thread asking for suggestions on how people would like to see contests run. Everyone has just as much a right to put in their

yup. everyone.
Well, the contest is an ECF giveaway. ECF has the right to make the rules as they deem fit.

1. Do not enter
2. Do not post
3. kwitgerbichen.
4. Refer to rule #3

It's too easy for a member to leverage the game with spam when using post count.
Just spend an hour quoting every post and adding a one-liner.
It already happens.

Input was provided, thank you.
people against change, are those who profit the most from the status quo.
I don't want it weighted or otherwise. 50/50 is most fair. Half to those who want to participate more and half to those who don't. We really can't have complete one post per entrant contests because the manufacturers want a thread that is hopping. That's what makes them want to give all these prizes.
Whether it's from spam, honest to God conversation, hundreds making one post or one making a hundred... activity is what they see and what makes them want to give the prizes. Some of these contest have millions of views and hundreds of thousands of posts. THATS what sells the manufacturers on these massive giveaways. A one post per entrant contest is not going to have the same numbers and the manufacturers will just keep to the social media type contests.
I like that ecf can approach these manufacturers and show off these massive threads to entice them to give us prizes. We're gonna complain our way right out of having this type of giveaway here.
50/50, enter or not, post or not, your choice. No one forces you to take a chance at a free product.
And that's my input.

And how will the contest threads look if the same people continue to win over and over, and people get bored with trying, and don't enter anymore...how will those threads look? probably not too enticing for the suppliers
