Make a new rule defining a minimum average letter count per post and enforce it with bans. The contest whores whose 5,000 msgs consist of three word replies will trigger it immediately.

the point of the contest threads is to keep the thread continually bumped on the first page for branding.

they contest runners could care less if it's bots or space aliens bumping them as long as the thread is always on the first page.

They may snag some newbies but it doesn't take long to ignore contest threads... most of the time my brain just passes over the line showing a multi-page thread mentioning prizes or a sponsor... without really seeing it. :winkwink:

If they're paying .25 or .50 per post or offering cash prizes based on posting, the point is they should care. If they don't, they are paying the same cheater three or four times the prize money they deserve, sometimes more, which leaves the rest of the honest webmasters pissed off.

Playing by the rules becomes a detriment to one's chances of winning anything.

There has to be balance.


Another rye and coke and I'll be OFF balance.....:error

If only real webmasters were allowed to participate in contest threads, the threads would get buried on the 2nd page pretty quick.
You have a point there. :thumbsup

Can you do one without the other?

I thought only top stop banner programs could run contests.

It's easy to reprogram the bot to spit out a few more words per post. :upsidedow

Good contest:

"For every sale you send during month X, you get a ticket in our raffle. The randomly chosen winner will receive $50k."

Bad contest:

"Every 73th post in this thread will get $10."
