should Oprano MODs be rewarded with "Random Post" $$$ wins?

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

I don't see why not... unless of course they all mysteriously won

if you don't see it,
I wish you were in all my affiliate programs....

:D

You can always count on Sergei to use a word like heresy for something as benign as 'so-so' contest rules... and than mispell it in 3 places!


Long live the king!

I had to do it for authenticity....last thing I want is a rumor that LL is posting from my acount while I am dead
:)

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

No reason why they shouldn't recieve monies/gifts for the random posts, if they then choose to donate them to others or place them back into the draw, then that is their choice.

Now if this were CE, and they were giving away a Viper ... :unsure:

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

Mods are humans too....









Well some of them ;)

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

Personally, no, I don't think the mods should win. But I'm weird like that :)

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

Ten.

Peaches snuck in on me)

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

Of course they shouldn't, it defeats the whole purpose of a contest or promotion.

The poll results are sad....and in a way prove the point.

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

I used to be a mod (that didn’t last long) on a small avs board and when I won prizes, I refused them - it just "looks" bad in my opinion - the appearance of using a contest to take care of your own is undeniable. I prefer to keep the business aspects squeaky clean regardless of board frackas'.

I doubt anyone really cares about a hundred bucks tho. If you wanna take care of the dorks doing work for you - slip them a little extra quietly. Most people aren’t gonna blow a gasket over it but it does make things look fishy, whether or not they really are.

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

Mods and other staff of Oprano should not be winning prizes. The reasons are too numerous to list.

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

next thing you know the guy who gets "Broadway" in McDonald's Monopoly game will be the CEOs son :)

Staff, and the family of staff in every major contest are always not allowed to be included.

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

Interesting...

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

I've been known to do that ;)

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

I'm following industry norm :)

Catman won from Dean. ( Everyone knew he would)
GG got the viper.
And kaiser gave the 10k Netpond award to someone that had never seen before nor since.

In the scheme of things $100 to a mod seems no biggie....

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

Oh..

one other thing..

at least whoever won , ACTUALLY got or will get the prize LOL

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

Three instances in 5+ years with what seems like dozens of contests a week, does not the "norm" make ;)

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

I remember when catman won, he was so dang happy :)

Whatever happended to that guy?

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

Wait for this...talk about sad...

He spent a pile of it buying traffic.



To his free sites :(

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

Another question would be, does MacDaddyBucks have a problem with mods winning money? :unsure:

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

Yes, they do...
the URL doesn't resolve for me.

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

Normally I would say "no mods; it's wrong".

But, this is Oprano. What makes it different?

The per capita income on this board, well, hmm, this board is more like Palm Beach, not Myrtle Beach, not even Jones Beach (a city beach in NYC's the Bronx)

This isn't a gimme board. It's not a pay per post board. It's not a newbie how-do-I-make-money-board. It's not a sig whore board. Considering the audience here a hat, a Tshirt, a C-Note is nothing. On other boards it's manna to starving webmaster failures.

Anway, it just doesn't seem so wrong here. Elsewhere I'd probably be joining the lynch mob. http://oprano.com/msgboard/images/smilies/smile.gif

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

sig spot

How DO I make money?

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

I had no idea they had a problem with it and the URL is fine from the UK.

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

works for me now...

and,
look in the eyes,
I see
"real MODs don't win $$ prizes" written all over them!

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

I need to take a night class because I'm not seeing that in her eyes :)

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

I think NO, a Mod should be disqualified this includes any fake nics that are know as well LOL

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

Hmmm... fake nicks you say - do you have a fake nick? :yowsa:

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

ah i see her eyes saying "another day, another deposit"

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

It's all fair game. I never quite agreed with employees, associates, contractors or family members of a company running a contest not being qualified. I know it will stifle criticism should one of their own win, but I have no problem with that. As long as someone wins we all win.

Thanks to Oprano for my win last week. I went to pay for a new cell phone that mysteriously crapped out on me.

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

for the love of fuck you faggots!!!! LOL

Its a lousy $100 and a fucking hat!!!!!

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

I still never won nutin :(

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

and....frankly....

Does anyone here think I really give a fuck what they think?

If you do , you a very very bewildered :)

:)

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

Nickatilynx, I hope your response wasn't to my reply to this thread. I am on the side of Mods winning.

Hey $100 or $1,000,000 it's a cool ass prize and one that rocks.

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

Thats because you werent picked mate ;) will some swans satisfy ya?

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

Interesting numbers in the poll so far though.

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

Bugger :(

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

yeap...
Members don't want MODs to win

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

Thks :)

I should make you a mod ....

;-)

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

"members" are gonna be real pissed when I remove the need for "membership" then :)

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

why do you bother with Memberships?

Guest should post, vote and shouldn't win anything...
Free Members!

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

I posted link to this thread on wine boards....

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

I cast my vote, everyone should be able to win a prize IMO whether they're a mod or not. At the end of the day the contests are for members of the board community, so ya gotta include everyone.

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

Holy shit, the numbers have changed, lol!! :) :) :)

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

does it remind you Chicago?
;)

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

So everyone agrees with me.

Perfect :)

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

I'm not a mod and I'm new here, and I still don't care whether or not mods win. If people are bitching over $100 that wasn't earned in anyway other than a stroke of luck they have problems..

Re: let's see if Oprano has more MODs than surfers...here is a simple poll:
 

Perhaps I was mistaken, but wasn't the prize given out by MacDaddyBucks?


I don't work for MacDaddyBucks.
