Posts: 228 Group: Members Member #162 Joined: 12 November 2006	how are we going to separate lurkers from the active ones? maybe people who have been posting at least once for the past 2 weeks or something? does the host have such a function to filter out? i kinda like klose's idea though, member for a certain period and such.

Site Photographer Posts: 1,193 Group: Members Member #4 Joined: 15 October 2006	Hi mrhobbit, The HeadphoneHaven's give away is a value added incentive to benefit our forumers as well as membership drive for our Forum. Do take note that most of the members do not join the members just the lucky draw itself. If these members have done so, they have greatly neglected the interest for the Forum community and members. If we were to put a participation limit for the Lucky Draw, like our Administrator has said; there will bound to have more junk posts especially for beginners who have just started out with not much experience to share. This forum is not like a game where you have better chance to win if you have more post counts. Furthermore, we do not want to condemn forumers with low post counts as 'freshmen' or beginners. These members might be more knowledged and experience than many of us do. To your topic on 'excluding winning members' from the next draws, I have to say that this is not logical. The Forum has 2 types of Lucky Draws so far, namely the "Lucky Friday Draw" and the "Impromptu Draw". Lucky Friday Draw is conducted for all forumers to have an equal chance to participate. All members are automatically eligible and enrolled in the draw. The Impromptu Draw is conducted for members present for the lucky draw; if you're in the right place at the right time. The Lucky Draw is transparent. Members will have the chance to witness the lucky draw taking place. Do note that members need not pay for the lucky draw and the Forum runs on free membership. The Moderating Team's decision is final. The Forum and our dealers have gladly sponsered prizes for the members. Quote: Here's a suggestion. To be eligible for the draw, one must have attended at least a minimum of 2 gatherings and been a member for more than 1 month. We have not had a official gathering as yet. We also think that it is not logical to make our members to 'take attendance' when they turn up for the gatherings. Also, we considered the fact that some members might just meet the citeras and turned missing-in-actions. The Moderating Team is considering members to be present at our major draws (eg. Annual Lucky Draw..) in future. This also allows the chance for members to meet-up and interact in person.
	If impressing/being impressed is how it gets you around, forget it. It is not gonna happen. The world of audiophile and fine living is not an Olympics. Team "> Two Thousand Dollars Only" per Portable Audio Rig
