Two months ago we kicked off the new community initiative where contributing members are given the opportunity to win a free $20 PSN Card. Despite some bumps in the road in regards to spam, everything went pretty well and we’re going to continue the idea into this month as well.
During February, I did disqualify 3-4 people due to prolific amounts of mass commenting that is handled on a case-by-case basis. All of the Top 10 users comment histories were gone through to make sure the five strongest contributors were chosen for the drawing and the winner was chosen. However, in March, nobody was disqualified.
Winners for March.
$20 PSN Community Points: VofEscaflowne
$20 Cosplay: benevolent [@] *****.com and simon32 [@] *****.com
I’ll be sending emails out here shortly with your PSN codes.
Thanks guys and look out for your chance to win this month as well.
Emails have been sent.
Very nice, I know I didn’t make it but it’s a good way to reward the community for sure. It just doesn’t feel right posting so much knowing that most of my posting will be done towards this contest (granted I did join after I read about this, haha :p)
But congrats in advance to the winner!
Exciting =) And Vof, we enjoy your contributions so don’t leave =)
well i think its dreamer lion or moocow111111, have know idea who were disqualified.
@The Dean, thank you it was really fun last month, and definitely be sticking with u guys ahead too, and would try to give valuable contribution by asking ppl to join in. thanks again
@VofE
As long as you’re contributing on a positive note, that’s all that matters man. I gave out bonus points to a lot of people when going through the histories for just adding good info to the conversation. The person who won the $20, wasn’t even in the Top 5 at the end of the month. Bonus points moved them up enough, while point deductions moved some people down for unnecessary spamming.
Stronger contributors will always get noticed 😉
Haha, no, I’m definitely not leaving. I should stop caring about God of War spoilers so I’d have more to say LOL. Still resisting the urge to watch any type of media for the game… only a few more weeks!
I’ve already been told off for too much God of War III love 😉
aww, i didnt win 🙁
Except for the occasional spammer, I’m behind this idea 100%. Those that don’t win are still rewarded by being able to engage in intelligent and meaningful conversation. Win-win.
Damn, didn’t make it. Congrats everyone who won.
I didn’t win either xD. That’s fine, it has been fun to participate.
So. . . . . who won?. My bet was with moccow, but The Dean just said someone else one that wasn’r on the top five.
Scottspeed?. . . . . . .
Damn, I did not win. Still contributed well to topics and convos and that is all that matter. 🙂
Well if its not u Dreamer_Lion than Moocow 111111 should be the one………. where is Moocow????
i know sonyjunkie you should have one
There’s only one monthly winner folks, at the moment.
Nope didnt win either but i strongly agree with the deans comments on rewarding people with very useful information in older posts.
Meh. It’s impossible for me to win this lol.
Anyways, congrats to the winnder and goodluck to everyone.
yeah how many people go on this site daily
All you gotta do is post and spam smartly the comment boxes, just like the top members!
@Thorzilla:
Mmmh, as I said in some other post: There is a difference between a thoutful comment and a spamming comment xD.
At least I try to contribute something with the comments I post, and I know moccows, taus90 and sonyjunkie do the same (Those are the ones I remember the most)
” All you gotta do is post and spam”
Yeah that’s why you don’t see me around here.
Lol Loki.
Calm down Tiger.
All you gotta do is sp…pp… spaa…..ppa…m i cant even say it right
You get chosen only if you post your USEFUL comments, not going here and say…
nice, or cool, or i agree. I think it deosnt even matter if you do it first than others.
all i gotta say about this is Congratz to the winner,
Question: Dean i think the US playstation network card doesnt work if you you’re not from america, even acceding american store. Please im not sure i’d love to see an answer.
yeah im not gonna spam anymore after last month
@Fatality
The US PSN card only works for US accounts yes but it will work just fine if you’re using a US account while you’re currently residing in another country. I can attest to that as I’ve done it myself.
Plus, many people currently living in NA download games from the Japanese store using Japan PSN cards just fine, as long as they have a Japan PSN account of course.
@Fatality
VofE is correct.
ha thanks, i didnt know 😛
thx, i guess i lost one month to participate lol 😛
Hey, thanks a lot for the PSN Card. Now that I have it, I’m out. You guys will never see me again. 😛
No, but seriously, thanks. This is one of my most frequented sites, and my favorite forum. Great community, great news, and it’s not too strict.
So for a third time, thanks. I also sent you a thank-you by email and a thank-you by PSN. Now what should I spend it on? A Nigerian prince needs my help, I might use the card to help fund him, if I can , . .
So TRF won? Congratulations =)
Congrats TRF, you were a great contributor! Good thing this went through quite smoothly with many problems.
aw oh well it didnt win, but it was still nice idea to make for this community
Congratz TRF. You should totally buy the Uncharted 2 DLC or Warhawk which is now 14.99.
Congrads trf!!!! have fun with it
Thanks.
@Dreamer_Lion: Is the Warhawk community still pretty large? I don’t want to have to buy a game with no one playing it (made that mistake with CellFactor: Psychokinetic Wars).
Congrats to the winner. =)
gratz to winner
@TRF : It is. And Warhawk is still one of the best multiplayer experiences on PS3. Just be warned: there is a steep learning curve and it is a cruel game for newbies. However, once you get the hang of it, the game is tons of fun.
And if you don’t feel like it, Burnout: Paradise is a great game too (At 19.99).
Hey congrats TRF, I thought it was Moocow, but any ways @TRF, I agree with Dreamer_lion on the latter game go for Burnout Paradise, its fun. Congrats again
Congrats to all that won!
Congrats VofEscaflowne, Enjoy your $20 PSN card XD
Wow, the cosplay contest drawing winners must have been completely random. At least, that’s what I’m going to tell myself. In any case, congrats to the winners.
Woo, thanks guys! What a great surprise from such a hectic day 🙂
@Reneid Klein
The winners were actually random. Everyone who got all the answers correctly were entered into the draw. If no one got them, then the person/people who got the most were entered into the contest.
congrats to vofEscaflowne, ah well always next time 🙂
Congrats to the winner and good to see spammers are gone and no one got disqualified.
ahhh man, i didnt win…congratz winners!
hopefully ill win next time -_-
Congrats to VofEscaflowne and the winners of the Cosplay Contest.
im too lazy to try and win this contest lol at first it was fun because i was in competition with dr.moogle but now i have lost interest lol
@xero135 The is isn’t a contest, its a way to be rewarded for providing good comments towards a certain discussion on Articles posted on Playstation University XD So in technical you should not try to win, but try to help out the community as it grows XD
Congratz to the winners!
Hey does anyone know anything about this Mmorpg that may be coming to the ps3 called Blade & Soul?
