i dont get it, why would you spend $800 on a contest for the biggest poster, but not invest $200 in proper forum software such as vbulletin instead of phpbb which is free. Also i'm sure with the leftover $600 spent on advertising could get you many members from adwords or something.
mrlynam your opinion about phpBB is not like ours. We have selected phpBB not because it is FREE but due to its reputation. In forum content building things do not work like that. In order for a forum to get members it needs content and for people to post content the forums needs have members. Initial content building is hard... So we decided to start this with by doing this big contest
I've been actively posting topic and reply in this forum and now without any warning, admin said i have been disqualified from the contest. I has never received any PM from admin or be personally warned by admin before. This is quite fishy since the contest deadline is just a round the corner. Is there any way i can report this? You can visit the forum and judge on my posting. If you think that all my post is a double posting or useless then i rest my case.
I'll be honest, you have double posted on more than one occasion, and I don't see why that should be allowed in a posting contest, it's not fair and it's against the rules.
Well honestly you have never send me any PM or warned me personally. We both know this true. I can post a print-screen copy of my Inbox and you can send a copy of your Outbox and let everyone know the truth. And by disqualifying me without giving me chance to defend myself is not a good practice. I think we better leave this to other forum member to decide whether I did make a lot of double posting or not. It is much fair that way. All in all. This is not a good way to treat your forum member. You should act more professionally when conducting such contest.
Sorry but how can you explain yourself for double posting on several occasions? It's a posting contest and by double posting you're cheating.
Well now I understand where this is going. Anywhere I have pretty much an idea who is going to win anyway. I've conducted a contest site myself and I know when people start cheating on a contest or when they are about to cheat. Several fact that I have. - Disqualification take place when I'm already the 2nd highest poster of the forum. No action, pm, warning or announcement has been made specifically about the way I behave or post in the forum before i even reach this stage. - Contest organizer did not reply to this contest but yet the 3rd highest poster send a reply. Seem to me like he is answering on behalf of the contest organizer. - Seem like Lustre have been supporting the organizer since the day of this contest start and as a coincident he/she registered with Digital Point forum a day after this contest start. (Dont you find it weird?) Silly me. Shouldn't have fall for this in the first place. My mistake. To all, my advice would be just be careful with this forum.
Sorry but the forum has done nothing wrong. It doesn't matter if you didn't actually mean to cheat, but it's standard rules for a posting contest, double posting is illegal.
Its okay bro. It wasnt a fair conduct after all. God knows who is telling the truth here and 1 lie will only lead to another. I think organizer can close the contest and straight away announce the winner. Let me guess, its you after all is the one who is going to win rite?
