And sure they can do that so that its on a level playing field, but then what does that mean for the forum? Just less interesting discussion and an overall less interesting forum to read since ppl are in there spamming to win a comp or look cooler.

Also, post count is generally used as a kind of rep to see whether that person is trustworthy or not, kind of doesnt help that if someone just spammed their way there

If theres a posting competition then fair does, it ain't fair.

I believe there is some sort of rule for posting in them - not totally sure. I think if someone is continually posting in them (for example 5 or 6 in one day) then if you alert it to a Moderator they will take action on the situation. I agree that maybe not all three threads are not needed and are over used by some users. As I said if you alert a Super moderator or the moderators for the specific section then they will take action on it.

This is correct :)
Should you think someone is spamming in these kinds of threads (i.e. 5-10 times a day say), contact a Super Moderator or specific section moderator and they will deal with it - we do not allow the use of these threads like that and it should be clamped down on hard. I'm going away tomorrow but when I get time I will glance through these threads to see if I feel moderators are keeping on top of it.

If you think someone has used these threads to cheat in the Posting Competition, then I suggest you PM me before midnight :P

Two users have been disqualifed from the Habbox Summer Spectacular posting competition for spamming such threads.
