Umm.. I don't think you can be the contestant of a contest you are moderating...
It is not stated in the rules as a forbidden. Furthermore my prize is not due to a raffle which you can blame as fixed, etc.. but to most posts, e.g. clear effort which anyone can do.
Also I feel a bit stupid about it and honestly didn't expect to win. If there were more winners I would hapily give my card to them, however, there are exactly 4 qualifying guys including me as the number of prizes. In this situation I see nothing else as an option instead of spreading the prizes between us.
It is generally implied that the person running a contest cannot be eligible.
You should know better.
I would have been eligible but the owner abandoned us so I changed my sig. This whole contest is bunk.
"Generaly implied" means nothing.
If it is not written clearly in the rules (as it was in the emunie lottery, or Coca-Cola lotteries for example), it should not, however this is not the case here.
Furthermore why didn't you say that in the begining of the contest, when you saw that I am participating by using my signature for the whole month, which I must admit was not a pleasure to me, but you are saying it now, when you see that I am winning and you are not?But during all this month you did nothing but wining for your 0.15 BTC in the GPUC thread and seems that now you are sorry you didn't kept your siganture till the end as Jaymes did appear and said he will ship the prizes. So you are calling the contest "bunk" only beacuse you are angry for the consequences of your own actions.
Stop behaving like a woman who is constantly complaining when she is unhappy and try ti blame others for that. If you or anyone have solid reasons and can point me to a link which clearly states that OP of this contest states that team members can not participate, or article in the forum rules, stating that contest moderators can not participate in it, link to it.
Otherwise go and learn to bahave much more like a man and learn from your own errors, instead of trying to blame others for your own mistakes.
I have been thinking few times to put down my siganture during that month but I did not and now I am happy for this. Yes, I am happy, because I will get at least one card for my efforts during this month doing at least some job for the GPUC whih will get paid now due to the coin being that. And I will be able to recover at least some of the 3 BTC I lost in the whole deal. Yes, 3 BTC. But I am not wining trough the whole forum for them just like you.
