This is a great idea. I would love to participate, but there is a loop hole. it is very easy to cheat. You create a false account acting to be someone in need of help, log on to your main account and answer the question. I assume this will count as credit am i wrong?
I would not do this... but i can see how many people would. I just thought i would share my concern with you.
Members,
This week I'll be on the road and in meetings.
The beauty of the forums is that with a laptop and air-card, I can access this site pretty much anywhere. However, I will be here on a limited basis (rather than my full-time basis) for the next week undergoing intensive training and learning new product information! ![]()
I ask two things:
1. Anything addressed directly to me, <b>please be patient.</b> I plan on trying to keep up after hours, and will do my best. Please don't bump posts unless absolutely necessary. I do see new posts, and if I've already responded, it goes to my email and I answer those in order.
2. This is a forum for everyone. Some of you already go above and beyond in sharing your knowledge and expertise. If you want to help out by answering someone's questions (or always wanted to try), go for it! This is the week to try your hand at being an expert! I always love to see members helping members, and this would be helpful in keeping our forum running smoothly.
<b>In the spirit of helping out, I'm going to award up to 3 wireless LinkSticks</b> to the people who help out and answer questions (a $79. value). If you can impress me with your knowledge, you'll get one. If your answer turns out to be wrong, don't worry - your effort will be recognized, appreciated and definitely considered! Please note that the LinkSticks are good for 6-Series and up LCDs amd InfoLink enabled Plasmas. In the event you can't use it, you can specify another memeber of your choosing, and I will send it to them (or you can do what you want with it, either way is fine with me).
So if you think you have an awesome answer for someone else's question, <u>post it and send the link of your answer</u> to <b>LSFORUMCONTEST@gmail.com</b> (as in <b>L</b>ink <b>S</b>tick <b>Forum Contest</b>
for consideration. The more right answers you have, the better your odds of winning.
<i>Non-contest related inquiries to that email will be ignored, and the address will go away after the contest.
The forum will not be locked to address contest questions and announce the winners. Please don't post your links or submitted answers in this thread. <b>Links submitted here will be removed.</b></i>
Judging will be based on:
1. Correct answer, and/or complete explanation
2. Effort and number of posts
3. No penalty for wrong answer
4. Suggesting 800-SAMSUNG does not count
Post any questions about <U>this contest only</u> below!
Let's see how we can help each other!
Good luck!
