Contest Suggestion.

[Hailzterina]

Okay, so after all that happened with the last posting contest with people spamming too much for the prize money, I have come up with an idea.

When another posting contest is planned by The Elite, the point system should be implemented again. However, only The Elite and Mike should be able to see how many points an individual has. Also, when a contest is planned the community shouldn't know. That way, the contest is going on and points are being accumulated by each person based on their activity but the community doesn't know that. So there will be no unnecessary spamming.

Pros:

No spamming just for the sake of winning gold.

The members who are truly active at all times and not just for contests will win instead of those who post just for the sake of winning gold.

There will be an element of surprise for the community and more so for the winners which will bring a smile to the face of all.

Thank-you for reading and please post your feedback!

Thanking you, Hailzterina.

Thats a fucking wonderful idea, however, the main reason TE creates those contests is to promote activity, if noone knows its on, there will be no activity.

Oh, I thought it was for the sake of giving. Well, what if the contest was for Elite/Sponsor upgrades or Runescape Membership or something like that? Tbh I'm not interested in the money, just the satisfaction of the community. It would help the community out right?

yeah it would and that's how most of us think, but there is always 2 or 3 that go over the top, as you saw recently.

I like the idea but it might not juice up the forums because no one will know when it's coming. Maybe if they did more regular ones will a far smaller price bonus then that might do the job, because people always know there is going to be one around the corner.
