20-30 ppl? There is like 20-30 threads about this.
Made and replied to by how many people? 20-30? If that? Out of the 3400+ posts from people we looked through.
I'm not going to bother counting but there is under 10 threads about this, two from the same person.
I personally believe that the winner had a funny "caption"(or whatever you want to call it) and deserved to win, but im here to just point out a flawed argument :P. 20-30 people of out 3400 you say? well check out how many brand new accounts people made for this contest? how many people only have one post? how many people will ever post again? How many people did multiple posts? how many people are too lazy to post about this? I think a good chunk of people believe that this contest was "flawed" but i think the best way to stop people from being angry as people have mentioned would be to pick the mods top 10 and let the people vote on the best one.
Ps: i know i never had a chance to win my pictures sucked haha and i only did them for fun.
edit: also it would be best for the rules to be very clear because there are many people on this forum with English as their second language.
We wanted to get a key out to the winner as soon as possible, so we can get the next one on the way. If we allowed a vote to go on for 2~ days or so that's just 2 days before the winner got his and 2 days added before the next winners got theirs.
I suppose we could have done that, and we might, I'll discuss it with everyone. No promises though.

Then you run the risk of the key going to the most popular poster, and not the best entry.

The question isn't why do I kill. The question is, why I don't kill everybody.

No you dont... we didnt even look at the poster o.0
He's talking about if we had a public vote of the top 10~
Anyways I won't be discussing this anymore. I voiced my concerns to show you guys we do care, but at this point it's over and we're just beating a dead horse. Best of luck in the coming contests.

Read the post I quoted. He said the next winner might be done via a forum vote, which is why I said what I said.

Exactly. Im not mad I didnt win nor did i think that I would. Also I didnt think that the winners post was horrible. But the rules stated a caption contest thus a caption should be present. Posting later on about adendoms and stipulations to rules doesnt sit well with me. It makes the whole thing seem shady at best and hope this can be rectified in the future.
Also say that because there were 3400 post ( alot im sure by the same ppl reposting and replying) doesnt mean that those of us commited to the site and posting about it dont matter. Im sure out of those 3400 post there are many ppl just doing it for the contest and dont normally follow the site so please dont diminish regular followers.

Yeah I read that wrong =P.
I def would say no to that, we would just get the same QQ when we pick what pics would go up into the vote at the end you know? so it just adds more work to the same QQ in the end.
But on another note, as said by dae.. we wont be replying anymore.. theres just no point. Fact is, you have a chance to get keys.. be happy.
