Broadband survey winners

Madhawk said:
Exactly, this is a "Reward Program", not a competition. I have no issue with the winners, I have an issue with myBB. It's becoming clear that there's nothing "Random" about these so called competitions.

put exactly as it needs to be put .....


either you have a buddies program going on or the system that you use is broken completely and it just keep picking out the same codes. Randomising our member codes would be a start or hell, maybe reintroduce the 3 month rule but this is now beyond ridiculous.

I really think it's time for some members to learn a bit about the appearance of randomness:

Get over your delusions of conspiracies. I've been on the forum for around 8 years now and I've entered nearly every competition that's come up. How many of you can say the same? The statistics are in my favour to win on occasion. Now what would be fantastic is if I could win one of those gaming laptops or Macbooks that rear their heads from time to time, but it never seems to happen :p

MyBB should stop using these competitions as hooks on their newsletters as well.

For a random system it always seems odd, with so many entries the chance to win is extremely low and to win multiple times in a few weeks is a bit odd too especially winning all big prizes or the same ones like UserZ.

That's what I said earlier.
If it was so random then why have the one of the thousands of members not won but one users wins 4 times.
What are the chances of a single user out of a fairly large user base winning 4 times?
 
The survey only had 153 entries. Chance of being the winner is 0.65%.

No, please, enter. I would love to see you win for a 5th time. Now THAT would be ****y.

I'd like to see the odds of someone with over 21,000 posts winning 4 times vs someone with 246 posts.


What a load of pantytwisting has been taking place on this thread. How am I supposed to know how I managed to win a disproportionate number of times? There are people kicking and whining on here like fudzy, who have many more posts than me. And still others like MickeyD who seems to have the most insane luck, and nobody suspects that he's got the mods in his pocket.
