Most of these ideas are good ones, it's a problem that has to be fixed. We need to limit the number of posts one poster can make to these threads. I hate worthless posts. There needs to be a limit as to how many contests run concurrently, and the 'whoever has the mosts posts in this thread wins' has to go.

I agree that only top advertisers should able to run contests.

So, new rule #1: No 'whoever has the mosts posts in this thread wins' contests.

Next rule: Limit on how many times and how frequently someone can post in a contest thread. What should that be? We don't need non-webmasters coming in here and taking over these contests.

Next rule: How many concurrent contests should be allowed? And how long can they last, maximum?

Max 3 contests at a time.
I think the rules like they are now with no consecutive posts are good with no top poster prize people won´t post like mad.

Also a good rule to weed out surfers would be that the winnings are paid into the winners account with that program and to be able to win any of the prizes the contestant must have an active account with the sponsor before the contest is over and also post an url where the program is promoted. Active could be 1 signup or 100 hits or something like that.
