Time to clean this shit up

Here are the revised rules as well as new rules for Posting Contests as well as Posting IN contest threads


Posting Contest Threads:
  1. No 'most posts in a thread contests'.
  2. Contests can not run more than 5 days.
  3. No more than 3 contests can be running at a time on GFY.
  4. Only top advertisers can run contests. All constests must be cleared through me before they are posted. Any contests not cleared will be locked.

Posting in Contest Threads:
  1. Max 50 posts in a contest thread by one person.
  2. No one registered for less than 90 days can participate in a contest thread.
  3. No back to back posting.
  4. We reserve the right to determine if you are a bot.

***Rules violations will lead to nickname banning


All current contests will be over March 1st.

no offence eric but i don't think you thought this thru


"No one registered for less than 90 days can participate in a contest thread." means that all i would need to do to kill a contest by one of your paid sponsors is
  1. create a fake nick
  2. post in the thread with "did i win"

you have just made it impossible for contest to run on GFY.
