Re: Win A New JEM7BRMR March 2006 Forum Member Writing Competition #2*
I'm not that comfortable with people buying more than one. The idea was to give better odds for one entry...there are lots (i'd say the majority) of entrants who don't have the money to enter more than once...why should their odds be any worse than somebody who's got the means? I'm sure there are some here who could buy the last 41 entries for $1025 and most likely win...they just got a jem for just over $1000. just doesn't seem right.
i do, however, support the rule of being able to enter if you've been a member for 4 weeks as of the actual date of entry, rather than the start date of the contest. That rule was made to stop people from joining with the sole purpose of entering...we were hoping somebody who is a regular forum contributor would win. right?
It's not my decision to make, but these are the things to think about ebfore we start allowing people to enter more than once. And what do i know? I'm not even the Contest Guru anymore. I don't even know why i've been stripped of my title!
