We can enter as many times as we want? Or is that just for the creative contest?

I was curious about this too. If i have 500 posts (cough Rappy cough biggrin.gif ) in this thread does it make me more likely to win, like 500 times more likely? devil.gif

That facebook link thing certainly coming hand too. I see a bunch of people already signed up just but signing in using facebook!

I can't be bothered :rofl:

but I suppose the staff will see people who just keep posting "me" all the time and just discount them and allow it to be 1 vote a day.

Not sure I like the whole spam as many entries as possible concept I am grasping from this topic but here is my entry might reply back to a few other comments if they are good.

Yeah I am not too sure on the concept of spam to win, really it shouldn't matter if you enter once or a hundred times. Maybe thats just me though.

Exactly, I could just keep hitting "Add Reply" and rack up hundreds of posts in no time. I agree that it should be a single entry per member.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
