Yeah. It's something we came up with to promote people POSTING on the site instead of just coming here form OTHER sites JUST to win contests. Maybe this will spawn a new idea... you can only WIN a contest if you truly have "member" status.  What do you think of that?

I tend to think you'll wind up with a lot of garbage posts that do nothing to improve the forum or community.
not that I condone such things, just that's the probable outcome such a policy would have.
now if you wanted to hold a contest where the person who made the highest quality contribution during the contest period wins then that would be something else (though it might be hard to judge).
I actually think that contest which requires contestants to post a review of something might be a good way to get the best of both worlds - contestants have to contribute worthwhile content.
(damn, now I wish I something to review - I have *no* accessories and not much more in the way of software)
