Default Tourney #55 canceled...lol

I think its great that it was canceled, if it was cuz of last week even better. I looked at all the replies asking where the PW was or how long before it was going to be released and just about all of them were from people with 1-5 posts.
I don't know how hard it would be to set it up so you can't get the PW unless you have 5 quality posts every week, but i think that and having more variety to the PW would cut back on the FR junkies.

because a lot of people join JUST for the freeroll? and alot of people dont even signup for any accounts through rakeback, thus earning RB.com nothing?

I COMPLETELY agree. The freerolls should only be open to people who get rakeback. The people that just sign up for the forum and not rakeback so they can get the freerolls aren't making rakeback.com any money whatsoever. It would give people an incentive to sign up for rakeback and deposit

What about the people who post threads and try to stir up conversations? I do not have accounts with rakeback because I found out about rakeback AFTER the fact. Although with that said I haven't been very active because my job requires me to live in hotels and I do not have a laptop.

Soooo lets see, I've been a Rakeback member for close to a year earning rakeback for me and Rakeback, BUT since I read the forums mostly but rarely post, I shouldn't have access to the Rakeback freeroll!

That's too funny!!!

I think there should be a minimum post requirement. Like 150 or 200 posts or something.:P

But I'm ok with having to post more to get into there freerolls, because I'm not really here for there freerolls. I play them once in a great while.

a post count is irrelevent, you dont have to be a member of the boards to be a member of Rakeback, there are thousands of members that never come to the forums.

LOL.......don't mean to stir the bees, i think a minimum post requirement per/wk or collecting rakeback should be the requirements. It would cut back on the amount of sitters and freeroll junkies.

Default Can Not Stop

You can have many restrictions in place, but if only one person shares the password, it is done. There are sites and teams out there releasing freeroll passwords from all over. Good luck trying to police the internet.

Besides the freerolls are geared towards newer members, to require a certain amount of posts will just clog the forums with garbage spam. I have seen this happen and debated at other sites.

I do not have an answer for this one, but PTOTW works nicely. Good posts are rewarded and so far it appears no one is sharing the passwords.

Later,

I have to agree with that, PTOTW is great and with the limited 10 people admin could certainly crack down and find a leak there.
