It should be a one to three month long ban, and the required post count should be much higher (somewhere in the hundreds). Furthermore, the posts in the thread itself should require some more effort beyond simply hitting enter. argh i got temp banned for 1 month last time. I thought i was gonna kill myself. i dont understand how people lurk on this site @_@ every time i see some new thread i'm just like a kid in a candy shop with free candy MUST POST NAO 2 weeks is tough x.x | ||

My suggestions are designed to make entering that thread a true risk to the participants. Perhaps a post count requirement is the wrong way to go about it. Upon further reflection, I would make the requirement based on the number of posts / week. This way, those who enter will care greatly (or so it is hoped) if they are banned or not. | ||

You don't just lose Hot_Bid's beta key, but the possibility of other beta key contests in the next 2 weeks. | ||

I cannot tell if that is sarcasm or not (Romanian, etc.), but I do not particularly care for it. It's a relic from long ago. On May 01 2010 16:13 wongi wrote: I guess this pretty much sums it up.

This is true, but I doubt any of those contests (should they even exist) would require such minimal effort as this one.. | ||

So thats what 5 years of lurking? Can I get some sort of award for that? But I still wouldn't want a 2 week ban for a CHANCE at a beta key. Not worth it imo. You still are a lurker, look at your icon. | ||
