    I started contributing to the forum before this new competition. I have already given away 3 games.

    I am active on the forum based on the recommendation of my good buddy Hiro.

    Guys are pretty harsh here.

    In fact I think I will just remove mygaming from my forums list.
    Enjoy the spam.
    I've been saying that from day one....when they first started with these quantity of post driven comps.

    I find the whole concept a little bewildering to be honest...is the intention to increase the raw volume of posts regardless of how sht the quality?

    Yes.

    I'm sure people just look at pure statistics in the end. I blame MBA's.

    I haven't been here long enough to see what other kind of competitions get held, but if it's things like voting contests then those tend to kinda become popularity contests where a noob with no friends stands no chance of winning. These activity contests are done to encourage the joining of new members and direct more traffic to the forum, and the spam has been minimal at most. It's unavoidable but if you see a spammy post then report it. Gotta take the good with the bad. Remember the new guys are still getting accustomed to what is allowed etc.

    Make them random / vote / quality / nomination / whatever driven...don't particularly care....I'm OK with idols singing & fingerpainting comps even...anything except raw post rate.

    Maybe. Do you really want to trade new members of unknown value (possibly fake accounts created for comps) for existing members with proven track records (by annoying them).

    Even The Joker lost his cool the other day at the spammy thread necros and he is super chilled.

    Or how about the cause is addressed rather than attempting to fix the symptom with a million RAS's.


    Unlike OP I'm not sufficiently annoyed to react by leaving, but it is one of those decisions where I just can't comprehend what the powers that be were/are thinking.
