Travel forum posters/posting competition

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by continuum, May 30, 2007.

  1. #1
    I am starting a new contest for forum posting.

    The forum page is

    www.australia.accommodationaroundtheworld.com/travelforum

    and I am looking for some quality travel posts to kick start my forum and make it attractive to users. The better the information, the better the forum, and the more people are attracted to it. (or that is the theory)

    The contest starts now and will run until 1 August 2007. You can begin at any time from now to then.

    Payment via Paypal Only

    There will be 4 winners as follows. To be eligible, you must reach the minimum posting level.

    1 - $20 (Minimum 100 Posts)
    2 - $10 (Minimum 75 Posts)
    3 - $10 (Minimum 75 Posts)
    4 - $10 (Minimum 75 Posts)

    Rules (some leeway allowed.):

    - must be original content.
    - All posts must make sense and be on topic. No one sentence statements.
    - Fluent English, correct grammar and spelling
    - posts should be spread over whole of forum.
    - paypal payments only.
    - You must register as a new user. Only users registered past this date will be included, as older posts will not.
    - Administrator is not included(obviously).

    Please check itrader rep if in any doubt. I have been a member here for a year and would not want to risk any banning.

    I will try to post weekly reports on who is winning

    Good luck

    Thanks,

    Continuum

    Sounds interesting, but I'm a little confused.

    How do we win? Are you going to choose the best poster at each level? Or are you giving $20 to each person with at least 100 posts? Or is the winner the person with the most posts?

    Thanks

    Most posts wins.

    There will only be a maximum of 4 winners.

    They will be in order of number of posts (from most to least - of the top 4.)

    To be eligible for any prize, you must reach the minimum posting level,

    So if we have 5 posters in the comp (for example) and they are
    P1 - 151 posts
    P2 - 125 posts
    P3 - 100 posts
    P4 - 50 posts
    P5 - 20 posts

    Then P1 will get the $20, P2, and P3 will get $10, but forth place will not be given as P4 has not reached the minimum posting level.

    Similarly, if no one gets over 100 posts, first prize will not be given, as the minimum amount of posts will not be reached, but second, third and fourth will still be given if 75 posts are reached with those.

    I hope that clears it up a bit.

    Please ask if you have any more questions.

    Clears it up quite a bit. So if we have posted there before, you would like us to start over with a new user name for the contest?

    The minimum count has now been reached for second place. Nitish0991 in the lead.

    Please everyone, take note. As stated in the first and third thread, this is a competition. The contest will run until 1 August 2007.
    There will be 4 winners as follows.
    1 - $20 (Minimum 100 Posts)
    2 - $10 (Minimum 75 Posts)
    3 - $10 (Minimum 75 Posts)
    4 - $10 (Minimum 75 Posts).

    This means that payments are not made until the 1 August 2007. They will only be made to the first 3 places (or four if a poster reaches 100 posts).

    Please do not ask for payment when you reach the minimum posts. You will not be paid unless you are one of the winners on the 1 August.

    this is why it is a competition. Please, before you enter this competition, read the first and third post carefully so there are no misunderstandings.

    thank you.

    It means that second place can now be paid at the end of the competition.
    ($10). Nitish0991 is in the lead, and is close to reaching 100 post, which will mean he is eligible for first prize ($20) if he is the top poster on 1 August 2007.

    This means that second, third and fourth place will all be up for grabs.
