                                              Contest Rules

                                              We all agree that too many contests are annoying and fuel post whores. So:

                                              1. No 'most posts in a thread contests'. Max 100 posts in a thread by one person.

                                              2. No one registered in less than 60 days before can post in a contest thread.

                                              3. Contests can't run more than 10 days. And no more than 3 contests at a time. And since only top advertisers can run contests, you need to coordinate with Eric BEFORE starting a contest.

                                              A quick check shows several posters violating the rules, some of these same posters are the ones bitching about the board being slow.

                                              POST WHORE THREADS SLOW THE BOARD DOWN

                                              Not naming names, but you know who you are. Consider this the only warning to you
