Exclus1ves comp lulz

By all appearances, it looks like there are some people who are truly desperate to get their hands on a copy of Singstar Afrikaanse Treffers :D
 
You said captain obvious, which implies I stated the obvious. But actually I was just asking a question of something I wasn't sure of. How do you explain that then?

I just take his posts with a bag of salt. A very, very big bag of salt which contains so much salt, you can swim in that shit.
 
I say smoke them out. If you suspect someone has double or more posts, ask him for his contact nrs, copy of ID and delivery address because he has won. Then do the same on the suspected double accounts and see what happens. Now this is a double edged sword obviously, because if the other "winners" are legit, you would be kinda obligated to give a prize! :D

To avoid obvious cheaters I say just up the post count limit though. This is a comp that will be running for a while it seems, so there is no reason why the limit can't be set at say 100? Even the most arduous cheater will not likely cheat his way to 100 posts and besides, there are enough of us to highlight any posts that start to appear as spamming. I really do think this is the fairest way to sort out the once offs from the regulars. Look how many one off posters there have been of late with the recent comps. It's kind of hard on the regulars who have spent many hours and words here.

The thing with the post-count doesn't really work, because people don't really read the rules of the comps. It could say you need 200 posts, but people still post in the threads. And they will still create alternate accounts and post in those threads because they don't care and they don't read.

Granted, it will not eliminate idiots who can't read and idiots who make double posts or create new accounts.

Yes, but they would automatically be disqualified should they win and their post count is less than the required. And also, if you create smurf accounts, now you need to make 200 posts, 100 each for each account. Suddenly it starts to be not so worthwhile!

I understand exactly what your logic on this is, but we still need a solution to the okes who can't/won't read xD

Other than those who have genuine disabilities, the rest a bullet? Or maybe our government can improve the education system and children and can be taught how to read?



Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

A bullet then.

The Winners are only being selected on Friday. The comp rules said you can choose any game available in-store or as pre-order - in the case of pre-orders I'm guessing they'll ship the game when it becomes available.
 
Anyway, I am all for making the post count 200. Would eliminate the 1 post wonders and double/triple/etc. accounts. It would make more people stay and post here, rather than what's happening now.

It's not a perfect fix, but it's something.
