I've been here for quite some time now and my post count is under a hundred. So that wouldn't be fair to me since i don't post often.

Speaking of newbies...does anyone think they could get Alex/Jon/Brandon to install that software that doesn't allow people to post a link in their first post here? I think it would take care of some spammers...

There not suppossed to be able to, but some know how to get around it. The ones who don't know, just post 10 'thank you's', then post their spam.

Yes, that would be another concern. Some people have been here longer than me but just don't run at the mouth on here like I do, so they have WAY less posts. Originally Posted by ljtaylor

Honestly, post count is not at all what this poll was to be focused on. It's about should there be rules in place or not for the big give aways? Originally Posted by ljtaylor

Or maybe it just doesn't matter, and none of should care one way or the other.
It's just a simple poll...

I put it in the title & post because when I started the poll I was thinking about rules, and reasons for the rules I had seen on other boards. So that's why I said that. But I was really trying to focus on if we should have rules in place for these contest. I should have worded it better. I just had other boards on my mind and the fact that they had rules, and "why they had them" on my mind.
Sorry I didn't word it better, I'm not to good at that.

Why does it matter if they are old or new? They have to abide by the "rules" of the contest.. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE $50 AMAZON GC, right?
I don't see what the big deal is, they have to buy something from AMAZON (thru the BBS link) to be elidgible.Rudeness is the weak person's imitation of strength.

I'm new here and I think the OP has a valid point. But, since you have people here with low post counts that have been here a while...maybe an either/or kind of qualifier. Say that people who have been somewhat of an active member for a couple of months (or whatever you think it appropriate), or if someone has over 100 posts. Just a thought.

YES we are talking about the $50 Amazon one, and any in the future that will be posted. Originally Posted by dv8grl

Yes anyone should be able to do it, but there will be some that are dishonest and sign up multiple times with new handles so they have better odds of winning. Other boards have problems with being accused of winning the contest themselves so they don't really have to shell out the money. And that's why they have such rules in place like I mentioned earlier. To protect their good reputation, and to make it fair as possible for all.
Anyway, I wish I had of never started this poll now, since I didn't word it right. Because I can see now that I'm just going to have to keep trying to explain my screw up.
