Here is my "create interesting threads" thread
This is my opinion and nothing else. See and do what you want with it.
For the past bunch of competitions I've seen on My Gaming it seems to be in the "Be a forum troll / spammer and win category."
When the criteria for winning states the following I see it as very much "ri-tarded."
Everyone who visits My Gaming does not automatically fall into the same group. Some actually do have jobs where they are required to work and can't sit and post, troll, reply, fight or just simply annoy others for an e-peen status just to be able to stand a chance of winning a prize.To stand a chance to win one of the prizes:
--Be active on the forum: post often and create interesting threads
--The top 25 users will each win a 10GB Afrihost account
--The top ranked member will also win the Philips sound system
I know a lot of people who like My Gaming mostly for the news articles, updates and having a look at the odd form post that is not a bunch of spam or an internet fight, but it seems they are not considered worthy of really entering a competition these days so there is a F'k them mentality from My Gaming towards these types of visitors.
Might as well not do the "local is lekker" thing for info and news in the first place then...?
With that sort of system the winners will always come from an X top % pool that will include +- the same people every time unless some new spammer or troll joins the race or someone maybe drops out due to having to leave the basement for a medical emergency.
Are you seriously that desperate for quantity & spamming instead of something actually worth reading?
Just drop the Top 25 activity bull and run normal competitions as people have done for years. I'm sure you actually do have more than a handful of readers...
I do rate this post is worth 500+ points, but then again what do I know and why would I really care...
