by HB on Fri Dec 05, 2008 8:52 pm I'm glad Brad started this thread, it's really pushed me to think about how to "reward" those members who contribute to the site content throughout the year without slighting the newly arrived members. After much thought, I have arrived at what I hope all, including my lawyer friends, will agree is a reasonable compromise.
The original contest rules stated that entrants are allowed to submit an entry every four hours. This rule is unchanged. However, in tribute to the classic song of the season "The Twelve Days of Christmas", members who have contributed to the site content during 2008 will be rewarded with a 12 minute reduction for every month in which they posted. For example, if you posted in December, November and September, your waiting period between entry submissions is four hours minus 36 minutes. Whether you posted 1 time or 50 times in a given month is irrelevant - one post for the month qualifies for the 12 minute reduction. The maximum total reduction is 144 minutes (2 hours and 24 minutes). Don't worry about figuring out the next window of opportunity; if you submit too early, the system will remind you precisely when the waiting period will expire.
