I suppose it's reasonable fair to generalize that low post count users don't value posting on TL. However, I was considering doing this just for fun. It sounds like a good time. Well, until I get banned for two weeks and regret it after a day or two.
and it's locked again, here come another wave of bans. I really love this idea, it's funny to watch. hahaha I can actually see the icons changing to locks as I'm refreshing

As a matter of fact, I considered doing it too very briefly, even though I got a key at the 500+ handout. Gambling always has some weird appeal, and actually I could use two weeks without TL now, as I'm having some crazy times with tests and assignments coming up. But then I realized I really dont want to miss the upcoming OSL semifinals
So I'll just resort to willpower.
Also, I'm not trying to generalize about low post-count users, but a ton of them lately are really just people who signed up for beta-keys, and amassed 5 to 50 mindless posts in the contest threads.
I was half tempted to post in that thread just to see if I could be lucky enough to get one. It's like... you know the fire is hot, but you want to swipe your hand through it anyways. Eventually you'll get burned, but it's sort of exciting at the same time.

That random.org screenshot is no proof, you could have just rolled it approximately 20 times until it yielded the desired result. But it's ok, he was well-deserving
Also, the banhammer seem to have missed a spot on page 9.
I think the thread is doing a good job identifying <25 post count posters who don't read the OP. Reading is crucial, so I'm glad HB is encouraging it there. By that I mean I'm glad he's banning those who post before reading >.>

I could have, but i rolled it the instant the page closed once (check time on my comp). I guess I could have changed the time on my computer or photoshopped the image, but I could also just create a contest "hotbid picks the winner" or just give a key to Spiritofthetuna normally, because we have the keys lol. So theres really no incentive for me to "cheat" because I can "legally cheat" anyway.

I am curious on how to avoid being accused of rigging through a virtual draw. Good thing no one has accused me so far in my raffle contests.

Actually you could have waited all 10 pages to fill up, turn on your computer screen recorder, go to random number generator, and post video of you determining 10 winners CONSECUTIVELY. Because there are (1/20)^10 possibilities, it will effectively nullify other's argument that you could simply repeat yourself until the winners you want are determined.
