Forums - Website Topics - Should VG Have A Best Poster Competition With Real Prizes?

I pose this question because another site I visit is having one and it is giving away games and a console for different categories.

Seen as we are getting near the season of goodwill I thought a vg one would be nice.

 

Say best poster, biggest fan boy, funniest post, best post of the year etc etc.

 

It could be stickied for a week and then the results and prizes could be awarded.

 

So what do you think ioi.

Payback for all the bullshit you have to read.

biggest troll, biggest spinner, biggest logic abuser



I would rather have a random free give away just like Nintendofanboy.com as then we aren't just buying ourselves gifts, as most likely only 10 people will be even close to competing for each category.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

The problem with such contests in invariably they degenerate into nothing more then popularity contests. Fellow members rarely vote on the most deserving. They just vote for the person they like the most. Further more we do not need prizes that just encourages cheating.

Might I suggest that you create a thread where you in an unbiased fashion choose your favorite five for each category, and then invite other posters to vote on your selection. You might not quell all dishonesty, but you will quell the majority of the bullshit. A word of warning though listing off favorite troll or spinner will get you banned, because it is considered a personal attack upon another poster.

Well I just meant it as a bit of fun where folks could email or whatever there nominees and then the results would be giving out the following week.

Kinda like a secret ballot where only the top three in each category say are eventually mentioned.

Anyway so far from responses given it would not appear to be very popular.



 

 

 

 

maybe contests would be fun :)



A lottery might be a better idea.
