Posting Competitions

The thing about this is if you their is no word limit and if their was a world limit per post for this competition it won't really be the same as once the competition is over it will allow members to post 1 sentence even though it may not go into depth.

Well, thanks for concluding that the posting competition is clearly working!

I did nothing but ask a question, I could easily make an attack on her posts and point out why this competition is once again a backwards initiative, but it will only serve on me supposedly looking like a 'posting Nazi' as Hecktix so eloquently put it....

You tell us, you're a prime example of somebody who wasn't active, but have suddenly posted at any and every opportunity,

To me, that seems like you were attacking the user, not simply asking a question.

If one user stays at Habbox thanks to this competition then that is one user we wouldn't have had otherwise.

I think this is a prime example of where the posting competition works. I really do think people like this WILL stick around. I mean if she cares enough to post in a Feedback thread about it, she obviously cares about the forum and finds it interesting.

Yeah it does look like they are being 'paid to post' but once you have introduced people to something due to an incentive, some will fully embrace it and will continue on in discussions afterwards. Tbh the prize isn't that amazing to go to so much hassle to post 100's of posts which are constructive, so to take part you must be getting some joy out of it. If they weren't atleast going to stick around after then they would have probably got board by now. This whole competition is just to introduce an incentive for people to start posting, and i think it will help posting in the future after the competition ends.

Tbh I find it hard to believe that the people near the top of the leaderboard enjoy posting 50+ times a day. They probably just open about 10 threads in 10 different tabs and then go through them.

I wouldn't be surprised if they never post again lol

Obviously some of them don't.

Just add another prize of "best quality posts" in the posting competition and then everyone's happy.

As if. People on this forum will never be happy. They would select a winner and then it would have been 'fixed'.

I agree, I am posting a lot due to the competition but I have found that a lot of the posts are actually interesting and although I wont be posting around 50 posts a day I think I shall definitely be posting more than I have in the past 2 years of being a member of the forum.

I have to agree with you here. We will never please the masses. If we don't do Forum Competitions/Events we get 'Nothing is being done on the forum, it's getting boring' so we do a competition and we get this :/ .
