Entering comps just to give prizes to non-MyG members

[Robin]

How about this: If its a big prize like those gaming cases, make a rule that only people with at least 30 posts can enter or something like that.

maybe change it to something like 10 post in week if you are new less than 12 months or maybe less say 6 months.
If you are here longer say than 12 months then minimum post of 200(or maybe more). that way people that just come for the comp will be encourage to to make so posts and keep spamming to minimum. While rewarding those that have been here a while and that contribute to a extend. and is part of the community they don't need to spam to be able to enter.

In all seriousness, if you start basing 'worth' on post count as opposed to post value you will always get spammers. It's the nature of the beast. At least with the current system any person just signing up for the competition will post once in that thread and disappear. If you start enforcing minimum post counts, regardless of amounts, you will end up with a string of pointless posts.

Also I am sure there is a simple way to exclude the users with less than 10 posts from winning anything any ways, without having to tell them. That way you get the best of both worlds.

Well if you have a look at my comp lists I create, you will notice I do exclude those people not adhearing to the rules, however I do inform them and I do monitor spam very strictly.

Fair enough.

I was being a little factitious in saying it should not be an explicit rule. Therefore if you have hung about a bit you would have knowledge of it but if you just signed up for a competition you would not win it.

Is it a little unethical? Sure, but you can be assured that it will solve both problems quite efficiently.

Nope it's just quite simple, you spam the forum you get banned.

Excuse me ... who is busy playing my copy of Syndicate which i won on MyG? Now shoosh.

You win comps all the time because you're awesome

I know Sycogrim does a great job of trying to monitor all the funny stuff. Still disappointed I've only won once on Mygaming ;-) but gotta keep trying to win.
