Why not address my concerns? Are you going to make this a year long contest 29 days in? Do you think what you did is at all ethical? I really can't believe what just happened.

And making a big huge deal about it isnt going to change anything Dr.

If you wanted to finish the contest by the weekend, are you saying that you were just in it for the prizes? Were you planning to leave as soon as you won? That's not very nice at all either. If you plan to be one of the top 5 active members, can't you be a top 5 active member for 1 month? It's really not too hard, it's just really suprising and much more difficult to guarantee a spot.

That was the contest. I can't believe anybody with any integrity isn't flabbergasted by this. It really is unbelievable. I said it once and I will say it again - "What is next? At 29 days in will this turn into a year long contest?"

Why? Do you support unethical practices?

It's not unethical at all. Before you even registered, the contest had the disclaimer, because every one knows posting contests will always get people like you here!!!

Golly, I notice you slowed down in posting!! I wounder why!!!

There is nothing unethical about this. There was a legitimate need to adjust the rules, and it was done. You are still in the running, just keep pushing on.

So you think it is OK for them to keep changing the rules the entire time? Do you really think it will be ethical if they change the contest to a year long contest 29 days in? I guess so because they have the disclaimer. NOT! Get real, this is a complete abuse of the contest. You do know there are contest laws that prevent nonsense like this?

You really need to get a grip here.

Throwing out crap about laws over a contest you invested no money into? You need to get a strong grasp on reality.

This is the problem with posting contests... people just start posting junk. Why not change it to some kind of voting contest where the member with the most useful posts wins? I'd rather see someone with 50 quality posts win than someone with 300 posts saying "welcome, hope you enjoy the site"

If you have the IQ of or higher than a rocks IQ, you'll know they won't.

Now, do us a favor...ban yourself until the contest ends!!!!!

I agree with that Alex. I think the rule changes in teh contest have reduced the incentive to post-whore. I hope that will clean it up and make the contest enjoyable.

You have got to be kidding me. Please tell me how you know they won't? After all they do have their "disclaimer".

Well I dont care about the contest lol
But I think it is too late to change it now

Get over it... It's kind of getting over an ex girlfriend. You have to forget she ever existed, even though its hard as hell. She did you wrong, but you can't fix anything. I mean seriously, we don't care.

I'm all for metaphors and humor. :taz:

Lee has a very generous contest, Lee could easily have give only one $100 prize and be done with it. You should understand that he has to tweak the rules a little bit to get rid of any posible abuses.

I don't think he will change it to a year long contest, he dosen't seem the type to rip-off people. And besides, he's pretty easy to find ;p

Yes, this is my first post on this forum (which seems to be full of people in which can help increase my sites earning's, and maybe i cant help a few people also) but the admins (owners) here have set-up a great contest to increase traffic and active users but by doing that i think they hoped to get those that are experianced in the field and those they really want to learn. If you where at all interested in that part of the forum i dont think the contest matters. Why not try and learn from this forum and start making that amount of money per day!

Sorry if i have opened an old issues just thought i would comment!

Why are you mad Dr. Domaining? The purpose of the contest is really to contribute quality into the community. I think the rules changes will really help with that and filter out all the crap threads that have been showing up lately. I think it's fair and thumbs up to Lee for that.
