You are not as far back as you think punx. 6 multi is very hard to run. It is all a balancing act. If it's any consolation, I'm having more than my share of problems at the moment.

Try to stay positive Shahryar. Member rewards are generally based on member contributions to the community. Occasionallly, contests will be geared to the masses.
Do you want to open a real contest or only your active members contest ?
It depends on what contest I wanna run at any given time. All the contests I run are real, the prizes are real and the competitors are real. Visit the contest section on the left side bar for more details.
I think it's a invitation to everybody spam on your forum because they want to enter the contest . increasing the post count is not so hard but forum credit will increase by it members articles , discussions and ... . it's a way that you deny pro overclockers like hipro or ... to enter this contest .
The rules for each contest change and since the beginning I've said "If you keep participating and contributing on the forum, I will TOO" I've also said many times "Post count requirements will continue to increase". The door for spammerz and uninvited new members has been shut. If you don't have a referal from an active member in good standing, you will not be permitted access to the forum. Read the rules of the forum if you want access to this community. If you spam because you want prizes, step off a high ledge. If you contribute because you like it here, you're post count will rise.
It was my idea but forgive me if were rude or impolite .

Thank you for you input on the way the contests are being run, feedback is important. At this time, I don't agree with you on any of your points.

Couldn't put it any better than that supes. Shahryar_NEO, I do understand your frustrations being a non-native english speaker. As Kal-EL said, we aren't here to have a bunch of spammers to increase our post count. This place was made for like minded people to have our own place to hang out, AND push people over the edge... cool2
If you look at it from another angle, the post count requirements as they keep increasing for each contest, keep the spammers away or at the least make it obvious at their motives. Thank you very much for your very valuable input. I hope that you see where we are coming from.

Thanks for you reply .
Personally I think that if it's overclocking contest it has to choice the best overclocker with only technical limitation like clock speed and ... . because your forum is friendly form and everybody checked it will love it to returned but this work in my thoughts is a filter that you can only choose your best overclocker in your active members .
btw , I'm really happy that you open many contests one after other . I try to participate on it and have a great time with my friends here

Sorry to double post, but I think you guys would love the new HCE @hwbot. Im a member of the staff/development forums there so I can fill in some "top secret details." Please dont leak it around out of respect to hwbot crew (I only post here cuz this is a closed forum).
Members will be able to setup competitions restricting clocks, hardware, etc. Give it a customized Title (I.e. OCA 32M LCC 2009) and the winners will get specialized trophys for their hwbot profiles. hwbot sponsored contests the winners will get hwboints too (or compboints or sometihng). Its going to be a very cool platform for sure!

THx for the inside scoop brother, we're honored
I posted in the hwbot forums when I first caught wind of this new engine and details were pretty much SHHHHHH DON"T TELL, lol. It sounds very cool, interesting and awesome. When we first opened up shop here at Overclockaholics, we were kicking around the idea of approaching Rich to license the hwbot code for mini-competitions and to track our members benchmarks here at overclockaholics.com. If you get a chance to discuss it with him, see if it'd be feasible to implement a small engine for forums like us to have a site specific ranking system for our members.
