I think the original idea was to give away some sort of credits or membership.
Def have to have a way of controlling it to make sure the same people dont always win, and to make sure that people dont just post A B C D E and so on just to get it. I mean if you REALLY look into it, your going to find a way to exploit just about anything.
Thats why hopefully random hours would help. No one would know what hour would be chosen, it could be the hour right after you went to sleep. If someone is spamming the forums, not only should they NOT win the contest, they should be temporarily banned.
Like Calder said there needs to be something "ingame" that people will see. Like "NOOB FORUM" "or CONTEST FORUMS" etc. Just something so that people get on, work their accounts, and when they run out of credits they say "hmmm whats this?"
Last but not least. It was in the last thread that there should be a new forum specifically for noobs. Not even necessarily a noob forum, but a "ask a vet" or "help" forum. I think instead of just posting ALL the secrets for everyone to see, how about a forum where people can ask their specific ?s.
If this forum was made, you could reward people who answer the most questions respectfully in a "random hour" or day or whatever you choose. You could also reward people who ask the most ?s in a certain hour.
And yes technically this is still possible to "cheat" or "control" or whatever word you see fit, but if people are on the forums ALL day long answering ?s and not being a dick about it, thats exactly what we are looking for.
