Bob and Matt, FWIW!....
I've followed the whole discussion between Bob and jmhollen.
From this perspective, jmhollen isn't trying to challenge whether a member is allowed to post 3 times a day, or 18 times a day, or a MILLION times a day.
To me, he is trying to explain that regardless of why it happened, the rules of the MDC seemed to change midstream. And I agree that both you and Matt truly have recognized that the MDC contest has NOT failed in it's original intent. Clearly the MDC contest has brought a new influx of registered members to the website.
The difficult dilemma at hand here seems to be whether to award a member ONE vs. TWO points for those new members that signed up using the MEMREF link that was supplied by IHUB.
It is obvious to me that this change in policy affects not only jmhollen, but every other member that is currently involved in the MDC contest.
As an attempt to rectify the situation and draw this ugly chapter to a fitful close, wouldn't it be wisest and most prudent at this point to allow the assignment of 2 points for each reference, vs. 1 point, and let the final point tally fall where it may? Can't this simply be accomplished using some time spent by Matt or Bob to take an hour to go back and catch up on those members who signed up but did not yet post, and APPROVE them?
As you said, Bob, it doesn't matter at all if they are approved for EIGHTEEN POSTS a DAY, if THEY DON'T POST!
SEE?
The most civil end to this dilemma is to retrace the steps of those that were only assigned one point vs. two points to be given the extra point !!!!!!!!!
After all, the MDC is almost over. And from what I have read, winner standings will be declared and checks will be written and TSHIRTS will be mailed.
Then, when all is said and done, perhaps we can put our collective internet heads together and discuss ways in which to make any future MDC's a WIN/WIN FOR ALL!!!
