There is a lot of hate at GFY. The contests are a good way to pass some time between downloads, and other work.
I read a lot of info here and unlike some of the immature posts in this thread some of it is worthwhile!  :
I don't think you see the big picture.
For a sponsor to run a contest they MUST be a top banner advertiser. Most sponsors mention the 100 posts rule in the first post so that there is no abuse of that rule. If one sponsor is getting more exposure because people are breaking that rule ...... how is that fair to all the other sponsors who run a contest and make sure people don't break the 100 post limit, and disqualify them if they do!
Nice to know you prefer to shoot the messenger!  |
Did I shoot you?
I also see the big picture. I also know there should be less contests running at same time than there typically is in the first place. Forget about top advertisers and 100 post limits.
Many also should be able to see that "most post type contests" which are banned are really not that different than "bump" contests.
There also is something very wrong with a whole slew of people and bots that just post in such threads and give nothing to the board anywhere else.
