Should newbies & people with very low post counts be allowed to participate in =FORUM PRIZES=?

[dv8grl]

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.

Ask a mod & have it deleted.

I think the whole idea of giving away gc is to get new people to join and participate. Obviously lurkers can't enter the contest so what better way to get new members to join then hold a giveaway. It is a random pick of the entries so it is fair.

I understand what you are saying but with this contest, it isn't about BBF its about BBS, where post count really means nothing. Its about shopping through the link to generate money for the owner. Now if it was a BBF contest then I completely agree post count or time here should matter.

I agree. Since they are having to buy through BBS to enter then everyone who buys should be included.

I think it is just a fine poll. I don't think it is screwed up at all, maybe because I am screwed up...haha. I think you worded it just fine IMO as I understood exactly where you are coming from and what you are saying. As well as no one is LOL...so obviously its a good job...lol.

The way i look at it is I have rotten luck anyhow so if a new person enters or an older member enters i wont win.......just how my luck runs..........so i dont really care how many posts they have or dont have.........however i do think something like this is important for a secret santa or swaps like that

lol I hear ya

For exchanges it should matter but for a contest it shouldn't .. and there are a lot of ppl here that are long time members, in good standing who just don't post a lot .. that wouldn't be fair to them to say they don't have enough posts. JMO.

I agree. Plus I've had nothing but bad experiences when I tried to buy through Amazon and refuse to order through them ever again so I'm not eligible for the "prize."

[tngirl]

Yep, those who said the prizes were to get newbies to come to BBS is right. If they haven't really cared about us before, why would they start now? Notice the new button at the top of the forum index? And I know that a few days ago the usercp changed with the referrel message at the top.

But, you can't really complain because Alex is trying to get BBS up and running again and making money. If it wasn't for him making money then there wouldn't be a forum for us to play on. As for contest, I just don't see myself winning any so I could really care less.

I say HELL NO. Its not fair to those who have been here.

Well, I've been here for years even though I dont post as much as you do.
