On a very similar note… Another forum I've belonged to since it's inception some 15 years ago started having members offer up free items with the expectation that the winner then do the same with something else. All one had to do was basically post a "please enter me" response in that thread. Was amazing how many would just "me, me, me enter me". Could almost see the arms waving like a kid in class that knows the answer to the hard question. :waving: So long as the item was free ppl would respond as there was zero effort and no costs involved to the winner. Ok, I did it myself a couple times and saw this again and again. Did a third one with a twist… One had to guess my favorite model of Ruger not just do the "me, me, me enter me" thing. Anyone that was an active member that read the threads on the forum would've known the answer. SOOOOO many simply took wild guesses. Just a verrry few actually got it right. Heck, even if they were smart enough to use the search feature, it was good to go. At least they made an effort. End result…a LOT less responses and I'm darn sure it was because the greedy never take the time or make the effort to "know". they just "want". I did one more after that during Christmas and again, had the clamoring greedy ones. Never again.
I still do the free thing now and then but it's to ppl that actually show effort and integrity.
