[ArdentHope]

I'm not meaning to start trouble but it ALWAYS seems to find me. I'm so sorry to EVERYONE including 77fro. I will not participate in any more contests in the future.

Again, I'm truly sorry.

Just a quick note...

Supplier contest threads are capped at 300 posts, as stated in the forum rules. Once they reach 300 posts, they must be closed.

Also, contests that are designed to get high post counts are expressly forbidden, as well.

I would suggest finding an alternate way to run a contest that does not reply on members spamming posts in order to win.

Don't stop participating! Alot of people do multiple posts in contests threads.. mainly to get it moving! You didn't do anything wrong if you didn't know any better...

 

[PopTart]

I don't think any1 is in trouble, unless you got a PM then yea I will also back off. I dont wont to be banned for trying to win stuff I NEVER WIN ANYWAYS! LOL

 

[sensay]

You wont be banned for having a conversation or posting in a contest. I think the only problem was the consecutive posts were considered spam by the moderators !

Precisely, along with a contest that probably should not have included encouraging that kind of spam.

It is the same reason why when ECF posts a "Post #(whatever) wins a (whatever else)", you can see the post number is below 300.

 

[VRubin]

Ok. I get it.

 

[ArdentHope]

I did get a PM, but it wasn't a scolding, it was an explanation as to why the posts were deleted. I didn't know I was doing anything wrong, I mean, I've seen consecutive posts many times in contest threads (when the thread stalls). Maybe not to the degree of mine but.... Oh well, I hate the feeling I have in my stomach right now, therefore, I will not be putting myself in the position to feel like this again.

 

[VRubin]

So is everyone afraid to post in here now? Lol.. still got 30 some posts to go before its locked.. Heres a conversation starter.. it's 68 degrees in my house and im freezing. Wheres summer?!?!?!?!

Don't feel bad, if you honestly didn't know then you didn't know! Some of these contests get absolutely crazy, especially at the end (when it's a post # contest) But I think it's all in good fun. Some people take it tooooo far... but again I don't think you should stop participating. Besides, I need someone to talk to! Lol

 

[sensay]

Ardenthope! Dont quit playing, and dont feel bad! We all know the rule now so we learned from it! move on with a little more knowledge and continue to have fun! Id hate to see these end! Fro is great and the contests are fun!

 

[keveck]

[sensay]

YEah im going to let 77fro know what is going on and how he will have to change the rules to maybe one post each make it more fare and admins wont get upset about that since they will be no spam what do u guys think about that everyone gets once chance it will end sooner and then he can pick the number again or something,.

 

[sensay]

I am really sad over what happened here. Ardent hope feels so bad, and honestly had no idea there were any rules about consecutive posts . I dont think fro is doing anything wrong with this type of contest.There was just an ecf contest up to 510 you just had to wait for somone else to post something .....I think you just cant post consecutively

 

[keveck]

There was just an ecf conteset up to 510 you just had to wait for somone else to post something

Yea, I noticed that too. I think because it was in the contests section is why it was ok.

 

[bigwill860]

i had no clue neither as his last one made it to 1400 i think and noone said anything but i guess now if it hits 300 it gets closed. But there was no rules as in the contest wise just rules from ecf so sensay dont worry every thing is all goodie

 

[bigwill860]

Ohhh that makes sense so maybe has to be in the contest area to reach so high with out a issue idk i will have fro get it all cleared up.
