I think you guys should consider it a rule to only pay actual webmasters, 90%of the people that actually bump threads 20+ times in a contest thread aren't even webmasters, and the odds are they are under 18 years old

A prime example

http://www.gfy.com/search.php?do=finduser&u=64617

10,000+ posts, and Try and find any of his/her posts outside of a contest thread, you can count 30-50 bumps by this guy/girl

Stop paying surfers, and start paying actual working webmasters.

If contests were only bumped by webmasters they would NEVER stay on the first page of GFY

I don't think any real webmaster would have enough time to watch and try to win a contest. Isn't it a time consuming job?

i honestly wonder how many actually pay in those contest threads. heard at least one company braggin about never paying out on GFY contests.

Hear, hear. All the contests I run are for webmasters only - no money for contest whores!!

At the end of the day the sponsors are paying to get their thread bumped to stay in the first page as long as possible. I don't think it matters to them who does the actual bumping.
