2 thoughts on this... I dont know the whole "drama" behind this.. been in and out for 2 days now with my wisdom tooth... BUT

1. This should of been handled A LOT better.

2. AWE is #1 top notch in my book. They do what they say and are 150% reliable and trusted.

Whoa, had to doublecheck what messageboard I was at when I saw this post. Nearly fooled me.

Not if he is an adult.com employee... Thats like saying an employee of mountain dew can win an xbox360 in the everytenminutes.com contest and give it to his friend.

Not good...

Can't we all just get along? lol

I see your point Headless.... but that should have been stated in the rules then. You read the rules of a mountain dew contest or any other company contest and it usually says that people that work for the company are not eligible, etc. Without that stipulated, it's open for sicone to enter.

Since when do rules take place of common sense?

:winkwink:

No common sense needed.... do you think sicone has the market on the playboy passes?

No he doesn't.... so common sense to me would say... if I can get one, I will.

Ice likes ROMANCE

if i didnt post in this thread i couldnt sleep tonight

Am I the only one that thinks this makes sicone look worse than AWE?

Hello :)

50....... :xmas-smil

52....... :)

All of you are wrong.

the post number is right there and all of you are off ------------------------------->

just saying ;)

:glugglug

I cant believe you just dont get it.

LOL

He works for adult.com aka playboy and is crying about a pass to the party his employer is throwing. He is complaining about something a top advertiser is doing. Would you want to piss off someone who brings in xxxx amount of money for your employer per month?

Common sense is needed in this situation.

er..............NO :2 cents:

This needs to be repeated.

I see your point...but..... awww fuck it... I don't care....

When is your radio show gonna be back on fucker?

LOL I was worried that didnt come out right because of the meds I'm on tonight for the wisdom teeth...

this needs to be repeated too then

You are making him look even worse.

Lets take our arguement to icq.

You should have seen his original post then - he said that *exactly*: He was trying to prove the contest was rigged. He also speculated that if they scam in a contest, who's to say they don't scam affiliates and customers too.

So if he was trying to get one for a GF, he's a liar too.

I don't see why you are defending him in any way. If he's an adult.com employee why did he not just try to get a ticket for his GF the honest way. Instead, he gets everyone he knows to help vote for him and then calls out one of your company's advertisers in a vicious attack on your own board!

Seriously, if he was working for me and pulled this stunt he'd be fired in 2 seconds flat. I don't see how anyone can defend his actions and words in any way.

My .02

Sicone how many votes do you think you should of had?

Yeh, I read the original thread and came away thinking AWE really fucked somebody over. Then later on I found this thread and now I have no idea what to think, haha. Anyway, if AWE was cheating it should definitely be addressed, privately.

Why privately if they are cheating everyone should be aware..... :2 cents:

Weeeeeeeee cyber sex with Headless.... just don't drool on me :upsidedow

Nobody cheated anything.

Are you my daddy?

Yes... Now shut your mouth before I send you to bed with no dinner.

Well that remains to be seen because just like you said "Would you want to piss off someone who brings in xxxx amount of money for your employer per month?"


Now it the dude is just talkin out of his ass then his ass should be canned. But
if he can back up what he says more power to him....

But i still dont understand sly's reply about if they were cheating it should be handled in private....

Right now, in my mind and many others, AWE is a cheater. Even if it proves that they aren't, my initial perception of them is bad.

Now if you owned AWE, wouldn't you be a little pissed off right now? Ok, maybe WAY pissed off right now?

Now they will be seen as a cheater, whether or not they really are. This should have been handled in private to determine whether or not they really did cheat. I highly doubt AWE is paying good money to GFY for advertising only to have an employee of that very company tarnish their image.

"nobody reads the retractions"

Thanks sly for clearing that up for me i took your orginal post the wrong way...

I agree with you sly..... a paying advertiser should not get called out on the board over a contest. If AWE pulls out because of sicone, I'm sure Lens will not be happy. My only point in all my responses is if the rules didn't say that adult.com person couln't enter..... and if he did have more votes... why didn't he win?

But I'm sure if he did win people would be saying it was rigged.... such is life on GFY

Your perception is based on the word of a guy .... oh, never mind: read my last post. He was obviously pissed off that he couldn't get a gf or whatever a ticket and he's venting in a very ill-advisable way. He has NO proof AWE cheated him in any way - they posted the number of votes and all he said was "B.S.!!!".

So why doesn't he come back and post the names of everyone that did vote for him?

In fact, forget it, it's too late. He publicly, viciously attacked a company that advertises on his own company's board - there's no way he should even be at that party or even in his office Monday morning. If he was so pissed, he could've gone to the powers-that-be at Adult.com/Playboy and handled there. At that point, my guess is the response would have been "what the fuck where you doing entering the contest in the first place?" Read: Conflict-of-interest.

Anyway, if you disagree on all that, then you must admit that if it's true he was just trying to get a ticket for someone (a more likely explanation that led to all this rage), then he has lied about his intentions - trying to test if an advertiser was running a rigged contest - and I wouldn't trust his word on anything to do with this.

Okay, I'm out. Another sad drama should be sealed and closed for good.

Sly, I missed the contest thread but reading this one it seems that an employee of adult.com/playboy got mad that he didn't win and deleted it.

It should have been kept off the boards considering an employee and a sponsor was involved. JMHO :Oh crap

Ok, had a nice long drive home sitting in traffic with plenty of time to calm down and think. Now I am going to address the issues 1 by 1 here...

1st... Did I handle this wrong... yes I did. In anger I made a post instead of taking the time to contact a rep from the company. I think it would be hard pressed to find a person on the board who hasn't done this.

2cnd... to cover the rules about if I could participate and win, I asked that very question in the contest thread and was told yes I was eligible.

3rd... This was not done to make AWEmpire look bad, or to point them out as scammers/shavers, this is why my original post was deleted and I was asked to repost it without remarks that would leave a person wondering.

4th... Irregardless of who I work for or who is a top sponsor or advertiser should not matter, If a person feels he is wronged in some way they have the right to speak their mind. Please read point number 1 again now... yes I did go about this the wrong way.

5th. Yes I would have given the passes to someone else, no it wasn't for a girlfriend as sadly... I don't have one.

6th... Common sense IS needed and was not used. (headless, feel free to call me a idiot here)

7th... the number of people who got back to me and said they voted for that pic was well over the 16 they said I got, this is why I feel wronged. Again, no where did I say I felt I won the contest, I was saying that the number of votes (16) they said I had was bullshit.

Please read this again.... No Where did I say that I should have won

Now I have been asked to back off of this and I will.

You are damn right you handled this wrong.

So I come out of a meeting and have icq's of your thread condemning AWE over a contest? People telling me that some idiot is validating his idiocy on GFY?

And they are an advertiser?

You are a poor example for someone that respresents a company. This is highly unprofessional. I am surprised that Lens allows this type of behavior. You have taken little jabs before and I have called you on one, you should re-evaluate what your job actually is.

AWE is an advertiser and you treated them like this? Honestly, they shouldn't have to pay for the next three months on this board. Your earlier post is absolutely the most idiotic post I have seen on this board, for so many reasons.

You are lucky that people like Eric, Ramos and Loryn make your company look good, because if it were left up to you, the outlook would not be near as bright.

I am not going to call you an idiot at all.

I am going to say that I hope you learned a valuable lesson today.
