I never said anything about the prizes on offer, merely stated a fact! If I didn't want to win the prizes in this forum I would not be here! I honestly don't know what are your reasons to be in the forum, and is not for me to judge your reasons. Just my opinion. Peace

@olmacca i think the point of the matter is its a cannabis growing forum. All competitions are a bonus. Ive seen on Instagram you can win many prizes in a weekend, but from how many different companies. We dont need to do the competitions. The dream for us has always been to have our members growing good strains with good equipment for free. This is becoming a reality as the months role by.
Poker, boxing, monthly madness, Friday nights, 90% of the competitions have nothing to do with growing so are a bonus. People take time out of their lives, people with jobs, kids, real life issues to make these prizes available. This poker software cost money on its own, its here as a additional feature for people to enjoy should they wish to, its not here to even be a competition. Many seem to enjoy it so we chuck prizes at it.
I think everyone needs to think about the time and dedication it takes to run this many competitions from normal folk who are doing it for the love of the community.
I know it can feel like I am having a go at the forum and I understand as the Admin of the forum you will feel like I am having a dig at you! But that is totally the contrary! I do like it here and wanna help it grow and be part of this community. Again I only mention my winnings on the Gram as I felt frustrated with kept being told that same line! Honestly I can only apologise for my rant, but put yourself in my shoes mate.
On the other day in the chat, I was encouraged to speak up as a member of the forum. Maybe I am speaking too much?!
Peace

I dont think you are having a go at me. Im just pointing out that if we stopped 90% of the competitions tomorrow we would still be doing more than most and 90% of the competitions have nothing to do with what the forum is about. Everyone is entitled to a opinion, its a forum but that doesn't mean everyone has to agree with it.
I dont think people really know what actually goes into the amount we giveaway and the amount of time it takes. We are talking days a week. Days a week for something thats a bonus on top of the work we have to do to keep this place improving. There are no ulterior motives to what we do, its plain to see, we do it to give growers the tools to grow. 2 times this week ive seen arguing over competitions that are a bonus. The first was over something clearly stated in the rules of the competition, the other is in here over another bonus competition. Its not needed. The comps are here to give people free stuff, not to cause agro.
Everyone can have a say mate, but if someone wants to give up their time to run a competition and pay for prizes for a competition we should let them run them how they want. Without poker there will be another 50+ ways to win seeds this month.
Its a cannabis forum with the added bonus of winning a lot of free stuff for a bit of fun, not as a set rule.
Again you can speak up, as can anyone in reply, thats the point of a forum. I am not here shooting you down, im merely replying to the facts you are presenting me.
