big-will 7 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Why don't you just join in with a normal post rather than that? Or you just don't want to join in? Link to post Share on other sites

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted February 10, 2012 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted February 10, 2012 Sure, Curt. That doesn't mean that we won't adjust things again though. Some interesting lessons learnt once again, which is always a good thing. Link to post Share on other sites

entalzar 0 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hardly in the spirit of things? Is my meaning not completely evident and plain? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Well if it wasn't clear before, it would seem to be now! Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Why not join in with others here first, and if you decide to really stick around then join the giveaways, not just join for the giveaways! Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Seems pretty obvious that they don't want to join in and just want the freebies. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 And guess they probably wont win if the snow gods of niigata are reading this. Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hey dude thanks for illustrating my point. Like I said before. 25 posts or more before you can enter any of the giveaways. Keeps the trolls like this guy out. Link to post Share on other sites

Chris_3211 0 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I always thought a forum was a community of people who share the same interest. I am still very new here but that's pretty lame.. Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Seriously, anyone with even a little bit of sense would simply post a few anonymous sounding posts to get the ability, if that was their 'goal'. Not the brightest thing to do this is it? Link to post Share on other sites
entalzar 0 Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Gentlemen and ladies. I cereated this post due to the fact that when I linked from, " http://www.snowjapanforums.com/index.php/topic/21321-snowjapan-giveaways-10-gala-yuzawa-niigata-lift-tickets/" it was to the understanding that I would be able to enter this contest. Before enterring the contest I was sked to register to qualify. There were no condidtions mentioned for qualification. I have now noticed that the administrator has made mention of some of the conditions but they are not properly detailed on the contest page. It is Japanese law that all conditions, private information stipulations, and legal requirements be avaiable for any applicant for any giveaway contest; even this private forum as your sponsors are fully qulified corporations here in Japan. The sponsors know this and if they don't the law firm they have contracts with know this. Please understand that my point of my post, aside form the obvious title, was to point out that the administrators of this forum on this site need to be aware that they were and are misleading individuals who would like to apply for the contest by not providing all the conditions for individuals who are intereted in registering for the contest. I would hate to see any private organzation to lose their sponsors over s simple matter of providing the nescessary leagal information to thos who request it. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted February 11, 2012 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted February 11, 2012 It's quite clear. This is exactly what it says on the page that you use as an example above: Any active, logged in members of SnowJapanForums can enter this Giveaway. (You need to have made at least a few posts on the Forums, and join in - not just simply register). This is what it says on the entry page itself: ** Giveaways open to all logged in members of the SnowJapanForums who have joined in and made a few posts on the Forums Link to post Share on other sites
surfarthur 22 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I always thought a forum was a community of people who share the same interest. I am still very new here but that's pretty lame.. The sad thing is Chris, that clearly these people do share the same interest, which is snow sports in Japan. Rather than attempt to become part of the community, they just want something for nothing. I was kind of hoping that this was just some sort of joke, maybe an albeit misguided icebreaker as a new member of the forums, but sadly it would appear that this is not the case. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
griller 9 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 It's really hard to believe that someone in their right mind would post something like that person above did. Do people like this not have better things to do with their time? There's simply no misleading going on whatsoever, you are talking nonsense. The thing that makes it extra ridiculous is the fact that it's totally free - it's not as if they are asking people to cough up for some paid subscription of something. It's totally free! 0 yen. Sign up, make a few anonymous posts and you're done. And I am sure most of us very much appreciate these and all the work that goes into everything. I'm sure it would totally drive me round the bend doing what you guys do and having to put up with stuff like that. Get a life 'entalzar'. Link to post Share on other sites
