Is the calculation right? Or are we required to make 54 more comments than we've recieved?

Hmm. No, not that then. Some sort of percentage deal, I guess.

how do we know if we have commentated enough? or is it open to anyone?

Sorry, you cannot participate in this challenge due to your lack of commenting. You will need to make 514 more *quality* comments to participate..

I'm guessing if you dont see a similar line then you can submit.

Technically I need 536 so the math is wrong somewhere.

Five or six days ago, there was a thread that pre-announced this challenge criteria - as needing more comments given than received to qualify for this challenge.
It wasn't clear when we had to meet this criteria.

You need to have made more comments than you've received at the time you submit your entry.

Read all about it here.

...and thus begins another wave of "Nice Shot!" comments. And the forum will be once again buzzing about that as well.

We will be on the lookout for cut/pasted and possibly other kinds of comment-padding.

I would suggest using the Carnivore system to analyze the comments and figure out which ones are bogus, but I don't think the FBI will rent it to us.

LOL - tonight marked my 2,000 comment, and was to a lucky recipient in the Jewelry Challenge.
It should put a smile on someone's face!

I have made more comments than recieved - if it wasn't for that ribbon I'd be way ahead (not a complaint). But it tells me I need to make 17 more, which takes us to something like 110% of comments recieved.

I assume that the challenge submission page is telling people different things based on if they have enough comments or not???? I'm not seeing any math at all, but I do see a submit button :)

Cool. Nice work SC!

I think you have a case here.

as far as the ribbons causing you voting problems.. My only observation is that I wish I had that problem..

Something must be wrong with the query. I'll smack Langdon over the head in the morning.

Do you have any current challenge entries with comments that have not been tallied into the total yet?

Me:

# Made: 410
# Helpful: 310
# Received: 423

You will need to make 6 more *quality* comments to participate.

"Stats are computed after midnight on Mondays and Wednesdays"

Where as the submission statistic is real time and takes all comments into consideration.
04/29/2005 07:10:09 AM · #24
Hmmmm, potentially we could block people from entering my giving them loads of comments :)

Muhahahahhahah

I'm just off to post a few thousand smilies to BradP's images ;)

Anyone who does so will be disqualified and suspended. See the original post about this in the "Admin Announcements" thread.
