Guest Tech29OhYeah Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 50 Posts to enter the deer contest. Guess I made it. Even with all the encouragement. You'll get post 53 if I kill a deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Re: Nice Rule No need to get mad about it. I can see why they would want to put a limit on it. Having guys enter and not post anything like you said you will be doing would be annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Re: Nice Rule If it were up to me, you wouldn't have the opportunity to make post #53. The rule was put in place because there is a history of people entering and never posting again, leaving there team at a disadvantage. Don't like it? Don't participate.

BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Re: Nice Rule Im not sure I understand this post .... why would you be bitter about it ... and you have to be a participating member ... if you get a deer youll post doesnt make you a participating member ... it makes you an extra if you ask me ... why not have fun with the forums who knows you might even learn a thing or 2 here ... hang around post some stuff see what comes out about it ...

BowJoe Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Re: Nice Rule Maybe we should make it a 100 post limit and judge for content on the low posts. I know it's just another task for the mods but might be worth it to not screw over loyal members and people that take this seriously for fun.

superguide Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Re: Nice Rule Maybe he'd just rather be out hunting rather than on here ragging on guys about a rule-take superguide jr. I used to just post our hunting experiences for both of us. I can see the thinking about having such a rule but those of us who are overly verbose shouldn't be judgemental on those who aren't.

MCH Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Re: Nice Rule You might want to correct that. Post 54 should be for the deer. Post 53 ought to be informing your teammates who you are, where you hunt and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need2hunt Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Re: Nice Rule Here's another "nice" rule... [ QUOTE ] I reserve the right to remove any participant from the contest [/ QUOTE ] The 50 post rule is there for a reason - to try to make sure that the people that sign-up actually will participate in the contest. From your post here it's evident you don't want to participate - just sign-up and maybe win a prize. I'll be giving your situation alot of thought today and up until I post teams tomorrow - guess that's when we'll see which nice rule we'll go by.

IowaDeerHunter Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Re: Nice Rule The reason we have this rule is because people come on here just to make one post and that is to enter the deer contest. Do not take this in teh wrong way, but this is just a PERFECT example of why this rule was put into place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Re: Nice Rule yep dont play with fire if you dont want to get burned.. while its no fault of some guys or gals that cant get a deer. last year there were several people that didnt even participate in helping with the Teams name. some didnt even know they were on a team.. why join a contest if you dont plan on interacting with the people on your team and on this site.

Guest Finn Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Re: Nice Rule I really don't understand why someone would join a contest without knowing anyone else on here and having no intentions of getting to know them. The fun part is being in a contest with and against friends. Is there even a prize for the winners? PS - If you don't like the rule, no one said you had to join.

dartonman Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Re: Nice Rule Im also on the Uncle Steven comment....I really have become discouraged with people entering contests and then we NEVER see them again....I for one did not enter the contest for this reason....half your team are die hard realtree.com men and women, and then, it happens, you get THAT member...who took three years to get 50 posts...bitter, you bet ya....I wish you luck young man, but belly up to the bar and set a good example....good luck to all in the deer contest....al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dust Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Re: Nice Rule And here I hoped I would make the 50 post rule so I could join. Well maybe someone will drop out and I will have my 50 if they need another one. Good luck guys and gals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griz Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Re: Nice Rule Being sarcastic about it will get nowhere... So learn to play right or don't play at all...
