Should be disqualified for multiple post on same day throws off random draw to be fair
You are correct...when multiple posts where made on the same day, only the first post counts. In the event of the random number picking subsequent posts, a new random number is chosen until a post is picked that meets the qualifications of the contest. Members are welcome to post replies in this tread as well...but replies if chosen in the random draw won't count (unless its the first post from that member that day and also includes a photo).
I use the site random.org to pick the random number...then verify that post meets the contest rules.
LOL so you don't have to follow the rules why make them it still would cost the person next the win because if he didn't post you would not need to get a new number lame
I will be wrong and a crybaby for following the rules and think it is wrong how you did it I should just shut up and let things go just don't understand how not doing it right gets rewarded it is my wrong thinking

The goal of the contest is to gain more activity here on CR. If I delete posts or tell people they can't reply, it sort of defeats our goal of doing the contest in the first place, no?

Just to be clear how the random post is picked...every post has a number...in this case post 78 was picked. I am looking at that post to make sure it met the rules before announcing it as the winner. I'm not sorting through the entire thread to find the 78th valid post....if the post number doesn't qualify, I redo the random number and check that one until I find a winner.
I will look at the rules before we do another one and attempt to make it more clear that you can reply as many times as you want...but only the first photo post of the day will be entered into the drawing. I will also attempt to clarify the random post number rather than the "xth post" is the winner.
