@m0use, okay maybe we got some common ground here and got us off on the wrong foot. I agree, that all distribution of prizes should be fair and square, no funny business. I just don't see how "a cap" on memes solves that. I mean every system has flaws and people will take advantage of that. Since there is no other rules for the contest, a cap would encourage people to use multiple accounts.
My suggestion is to only allow accounts with an active and verified profile. The problem with that is how do you define/detect "active" or "real" accounts.
If there is a problem with ban evasion, people should need to verify their identity to take part in contests or to be on the website. Plain and simple.
But that takes time and effort by GD to enforce such measures. I guess for many users that would go too far because of data collection and so on. And the cost for that is probably higher than the prize money, so they don't care.
In the end the jury will decide which memes they like and make a decision. Humor is subjective.
I just looked at previous meme contests and I really didn't like the way people tried to ingratiate themselves with the sponsor. Killed the vibe for me. I like the free meme spirit more.
I found this website a couple of months ago and started making diaries. I liked the idea because I documented my grows anyway. At first I didn't even know there's contests like these.
So I can't really talk about what happened in the past. I just enjoy that I found a place to share my hobby with other enthusiasts and learn more about it. Winning some prizes along the way is just the icing on the cake.
The way you phrased it didn't appear to me that you meant it in a funny or mocking way. I got that wrong it seems but I responded because you implied something that was not my intention. That's what i care about.
You didn't drop any names but it's obvious who you referred to, isn't it? And yes I didn't like that. Criticizing the rules is one thing, to tar everyone with the same brush is another. So i guess I'm only a spammer and not part of the weirdos yet, I play by the rules. :smile: Don't call a swan a duck, it will bite.
That "cameltoe" story sounds intriguing.
Would you like to tell us more about it?
