Title: Name game shenanigans
Post by: N2DEEP on February 04, 2012, 02:11 pm
Its interesting to note the number of usernames entering into the name game contest that have registered since the contest was announced....

Its interesting how many are registered within minutes of their contest entry.

Its interesting how many of those names have no posts outside that thread.

Deleting my own entries.

I call shenanigans

Id like to propose an amendment to the contests rules....

Users with no past purchases on SR should be ineligible. Its supposed to be a "customer appreciation" motivated contest. If youve never made a purchase your not a customer, youre a loiterer, and no one appreciates you.  :P

Using a different name on the forum than your SR account wouldnt be a problem. Im just saying the winner should have to have a buyers account with a purchase. I also think that any forum account established since the contest announcement shouldnt be eligible unless they have made forum contributions beyond that thread.

one entry per 30 minutes was one of the rules....but if someone is using 30 accounts to make a post a minute....

shenanigans!

I agree it's not right , my forum account was created over a month ago but I have only started posting today - I think I might point that out when replying to the name game .

i can understand where you are coming from and some people are doing this but for me i signed up to the forums after the competition started. i've made one or two purchases on the main SR site and have viewed the forums for help before but never felt the need to sign up and submit a post.

since the competition started though i now feel like its about time i got a forum account.

How about anyone with under 5 transactions in ineligible? That should clear a whole lot of nonsense away. I'm not even playing but it should be GOOD Customer Appreciation Day!

See and understanding this sort of situation is why my initial opinion was that the winner should show that they had purchased something through SR. Lots of people dont use the forums...or dont bother registering. But its pretty clear that theres some fishy biz in the contest.  I just wanted to bring attention to the issue.

I registered this account on the forum just for the contest, but I have some 30 transactions with 0% refund rate on SR. I don't think I should be disqualified for that reason, but it's also obvious that there's nothing stopping a team of 10 friends making 60 accounts and posting every 30 seconds. The rules should have been thought out a bit better.

I totally agree about people spamming it up. In all fainess though I knew that was gonna happen.

I am personally  only using one name...mine! not because I have to or beacause I don't know how to make a fake account, but rather because I have more integrity than that. I wish others did too...oh well  :'(

I dont think people with no purchases should be disqualified. I have been registred for a few days now I just havent had the time to do the whole money pack tranaction.. & I think meth is one of those spammers with multiple accounts

Yeah , I really would not waste my time logging in and out all day , just make a post every 30 minutes or so .

I think the goal should have been to be the first person to post after the name was revealedrather than the last person to post before it was. that would keep peoples eyes glued to the forum, but not have a thread with thousands of wish lists posted. just my opinion though
Title: Re: Name game shenanigans
Post by: wretched on February 04, 2012, 10:25 pm
and I wonder why so many people are posting when Silk isn't even online. he can't make the grand post until he logs on, so I have been waiting till I see him as online before posting my wishlist

What if they've already made their new name's forum account and will post from there using silk road's key to verify? No way of knowing yet.

there would be more than a little feeding of disbelief that it was really him, and it would take multiple trusted people to verify that it was indeed silk. the fallout would last a couple of days in my opinion. I for one would not buy it unless it was posted from Silk's account, signed by Silk (and I hope he does it right even then...remember the new URL debacle?)

yeah this is total bullshit. it took me forever to post my wish list and by the time i posted and then hit refresh within seconds about 10 posts since my post had hit. crazy as hell, i'm a customer and if some stupid fucking kid with no purchases wins i'm going to be fucking furious

I'll agree, I think the name game should be rewarding one person who's lucky. Not someone who's made 30 accounts and posts from one each minute.

I am just lol for the name shenanigans  ;D this is sooooo funny, or am I stoned? How about the two meth heads posting their wish list in this thread....to fucking funny.

But on a serious note you must have made purchases to be eligble surely? That is after all the prerequisite of being a "customer"

Have fun everyone and may those who use the word  shenanigans  be laughed at!
