Share Your Story | Fourth Anniversary Edition
Well played
I think I may make a humorous subtitled version of thisโฆ

Well played. Very well played.
I would kind of laugh at this point if they are waiting for everyone to stop pushing them to make a decision. Considering this is a giveaway, maybe just letting it go until they can get time for it is better than pressuring.
Depending how good is your memory, there were two events where Anker changed their decision. In one case they set a minimum number of users and a minimum number of posts and only one criteria was met so the prizes went to the Powerdraw. In the other case there was an individual interpretation of rules so Anker awarded but in a unique way.
So Iโd not be surprised if they see an issue and do something else. This thread on story is difficult to see a challenge, other than they pick their favourite. The other thread is more complicated. They may have become coupled to stop same persons winning both.
Note also there is a historically unusually high level of spam which is increasing admin load. So helping stop them via being early to PM moderators may help make the contemptible go elsewhere.
I do kind of remember those events. This story one is actually easy aside from the few posts where some got creative about rules instead of taking them at face value. The magic number one is simple enough to fix in the future, clearly assign the magic numbers and then have those that hit them edit the post with a screenshot of them with the number. I think that would eliminate the delete issue as well as make rules clear.
Not sure how you fix the current issue with mystery numbers and spam and stuff, maybe just eliminate the event and send out the 8 boxes as christmas gifts to more active members? I know I wasnt very active, but it still sounds better than people complaining for half a month.
I know it gets heated in here when events are run, just not sure why, its free items you dont have to pay for and really didnt do much to earn, why moan and groan when you lose out? Its silly as hell imo.
Itโs not easy either way.
Again depends how good is oneโs memory, but years ago there was an unannounced Xmas gift pack sent out. That gave me the warmest feeling as I wasnโt acting in a manner to expect anything. But then 1 or 2 years later a member was nagging itโs so unfair by the criteria chosen so that soured it for me from genuine to expectation. I think I got present the next two Xmas also, I think was the 20000 PD last year.
As to future competitions this thread one is fine by me as itโs based on talent effort at human level with judge. Not based on likes, which invites fake new members to upvote, not based on hitting specific numbers as that awards proximity to Seattle and who was free at the time.
I can link to any of the above if asked.
I trust ya. It still outlines why I lose interest in this community during events. I love to try my hand at winning items (across many sites and brands, not just here) I may not have bought at the time, so here is awesome for that. Cant say I ever got a christmas gift, but who knows in the future.
The big thing I see here over other places is the amount of complaining if you dont get free things, I mean seriously if you dont win your luck just wasnt there that day. I do appreciate that Anker tries new and different things, some work good, others not always, but they do try and involve โluckโ while still trying to brand grow.
Did you watch my humour 2525?
I donโt mind anyone taking extra time, especially when my money is not involved whatsoever. But I balk at your seemingly contradictory statements. You say theres a post where they comment on the delay, but that commenting on the delay is relatively unimportant? I would point you toward the announcements section of the forum. Imagine if this comment you cite were posted there instead.
I correct my first statement now, I donโt mind being patient with folks missing deadlines if they say they need more time. Itโs frustrating that not one peep from the powers that be has been peeped (except apparently on the thread for that day I donโt celebrate because I dont mix consumerism with holidays). ๐ ๐ช๐ถ ๐น๐ป๐ฎ๐น๐ช๐ป๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ฝ๐ธ ๐ป๐ฎ๐ถ๐ช๐ฒ๐ท ๐น๐ช๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ท๐ฝ, ๐ซ๐พ๐ฝ ๐ ๐ญ๐ธ๐ทโ๐ฝ ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ช ๐ต๐ฒ๐ด๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ท๐ฐ ๐ฝ๐ฑ๐ฎ ๐ผ๐ฒ๐ต๐ฎ๐ท๐ฝ ๐ฝ๐ป๐ฎ๐ช๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ท๐ฝ
