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...

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.

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.

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. :D Besides, I need someone to talk to! Lol

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,.

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
