TipRadar.com - Forums and community

ok, seems surprised of me, but it is.

not that I'm InfluenceD by other *places*, but given that i'm one of the oldest SuperMOD, oldest Member, First non-admin Staff, and above all greatest poster (no spam), I have following rules to be made and enforced starting March-23, 2012 - when I complete my 1st year here.

The giveaway section is loaded with Threads abt giveaways which are closed long ago. To be a better forum we should rather have the following for each external/internal giveaway (and limited freebie)

1. start date
2. end date
3. participation criteria
4. full link to the page
5. Product name
6. licenses given out
7. site/blog language



and the staff have to ensure that the thread is updated with the winners as well, caz some giveaways are long lost in the dust.

tired now,



and yeh pls vote

Grr

yes, i agree too.

You need to be a computer to all these stuffs. Without disrespecting anybody i would love to hear how many of those who say "I agree" would do these things?
Moreover these rules will further make sure no general members will post a giveaway or contest. Who will take the headache of adding so much information and along with it close the thread when winners are announced?
I know few websites where giveaway runs for almost a month, who will go back a month and close that post and announce the winners?? With so many giveaways everywhere, do we actually remember all on the giveaways after say 3-4 days?? So i feel this will be a complete waste of time.
I think we provide enough information about a giveaway and adding more info will be a serious wastage of time.

Instead of these why don't we start contributing on other sections of this forum, like Tech news and latest software. That will certainly take the forum in the right direction.

Although the Grr suggestions are good, i must agree with AG. Ppl is lazy and this may stop users for posting because they don't want to spend time posting additional info. I think this is not applicable here at the moment.
I also agree with AG about the other forums. Although this site is mainly focused on giveaways and contests there are other forums to get involved into.
This is the best way to grow up the forum. Having forum giveaways is a way to get user registrations of course, but it is also a way to mantain the users as long as possible by giving them interesting sections other than giveaways.

How abt we have more mods to help organize better?

sooner or later we would be having quantity but no quality

so we could start working on it soon
