Prizes!

[Stukaus]

Now they are really going to disqualify this kid, he's exposed too much!

[autter211]

And whether they are delivered...

4 out of the 5 have been delivered

Isn't it interesting that two are to Canyon Park, WA? Maybe they aren't just prize notifications...? But I am not sure what, or who, those two are so maybe they are just winners who beat the odds of having two winners in one town.

It's weird, I should really take that link down because it exposes peoples' addresses but the cat's out the bag now so I see no point. Unfortunate they've been this lax though, that's pretty poor on the part of MK.

Well it's already in the open, so I don't know how much you can do, for sure it's a MK snafu

but also a disclousure issue from one of the potential winners ...

I really like how Audrey and her husband managed to feed us information but being

carefull not to get in a disclousure gray area, even when we were not 100% convinced

it was true. Double Kudos for you guys !!!

Cheers

What is the state of the one that hasn't been delivered?

[Rob Veteran]

I would say that any lurking members of Marden Kane can contact me either by private message on this forum, or by e-mailing rob at poorlad.com if there's an issue with this forum hosting that DHL tracking link and reference.

I did not mean to open up a can of worms, but so many people had questions as to who the winners were and if they were sent out, etc. MK made a mistake, plain and simple. Hopefully they learn from their mistake and improve their service level next time.

This was an amazing contest and I cannot wait until the next!

He posted it on his flickr page.

Ahhh...gotcha. I think I looked at his Flikr site earlier when he just had the one picture up.

I'd say DHL would like it off...

True...but if Jason didn't post a pic of the mailing label, no one's information would have been compromised. Not sure if I'd really call the MK's fault, but the point is moot now that the kimono is open, so to speak.

[Rob Veteran]

True, but the breach of player's confidential details being leaked is concerning, whoever is at fault.

To protect the individuals I'm going to remove the reference number directly from the post - just so casual surfers won't be able to find it. I hope you can appreciate my position as a moderator here at Neowin and that it's my responsibility to edit this one thing. It's not gagging people as I'm not asking that the discussion be stopped, but just making it harder to find the addresses.

[brilo211]

probably the right thing to do...

I think that is a good move...no need to **** off innocent poeple, having their personal information spread over the internet

Thank you Rob. I was just looking for the edit link and could not find it. I did not mean to expose the level of detail available. I didn't even notice the addresses at first, just the cities.

I hope I didn't cause too many issues for the team.

Agreed, and good call. If I had won (which apparently I haven't...yet(?!)) I wouldn't want to broadcast my address either.

A very respectable and commendable thing to do... I'm very impressed by your professionalism. Especially on Neowin: "where unprofessional journalism looks better" :-)

[Rob Veteran]

Just been contacted by MK, asking for the same. So I'd appreciate it if we could not post any links that would divulge personal information. Thanks.

that really was fast...see we told you they are watching :shiftyninja:

[Stukaus]

Did you ask them when they would post the rest of the winners?

[Rob Veteran]

It's not my place to ask anything of the sort - they'll announce them when it's possible.

[Alamodefender]

They shoulda known, by the way this group solved puzzles, to use different tracking numbers. I mean seriously, you pay alot of money to a firm like Marden Kane to run a professional contest.

Even if only the other winners could see each others addresses it would be a pretty careless job of handling things.

I agree, at least don't get neowin and its community exposed by somebody else snafu.

Good move.

Again, thank you Rob and I appoligize for not passing this information through you first.
