Question about FAQ

Closed
Joelnh

I was looking through the FAQ again and noticed one was 'Be active in the forum/chat'.
I have seen dozens of people who have won with no comments and highly doubt they were active in chat as well.

But my real question, is why is this in the Rules when it is not enforced ?

Because you would need dozens of mods to even think of enforcing that. I think that is in the rules to remind people that if they can have a chance at winning something without the obligation of giving anything in return the least they can do is to thank the gifters and to try and contribute in others ways such as being active in the forums.

At the same time, though; spamming infinite amounts of replies of 'thank you' in every giveaway makes legitimate comments and questions impossible to find.

I guess the solution would be a "thanks" button, real comments, and an enforcement system that would prompt people to be active and hold the gift hostage.

exactly the problem that is created... a flood of thank you's and questions getting missed.
hmm, wonder if the addon can filter out thank you's.... lol

Oh! I've thought of a great feature!

A "thank you" button that generates a random thank you response every time, to make the giver feel even MORE loved, and at the same time to save effort on the part of the people entering the giveaway! ;)

We want people to thank other people not because we tell them to thank them.
