Is there any contest in which only selected members can enter? I think that would be a bit.. unfair. Especially if the condition of eligibility is the post-count. In my humble and honest opinion, eligibility based on post count or rank (which is gained by posts, I think) will makes people start spamming =_______= aren't we trying to avoid spam as much as possible?
