[Forums] Hosting a contest/bounty/competition involving prizing (virtual or cash) (1 Viewer)

[kiwyko]

Hi. Was wondering if you can host a contest/bounty/competition on the forums with anything. I.e. do X on this gamemode to receive this assuming it follows the rules on top of anything. If so, would prizing be an issue even if it is provided by the organizer's end? Just wanted something fun and nothing *too* serious (literally could just be a 5 USD virtual item or whatever)

Nah, go for it.

If it requires little effort, such as just putting your name / pfp picture in to be put in a draw it's fine. If however it requires effort from the users, such as drawing art or doing hours into something on the server, you must commit to giving the prize. If you don't commit to giving the prize at the end of all the hard work players have put into it, then this reflects poorly on panda community. So it's best to leave that sort of thing to staff members.

So far we have not had an incident like that (apart from a delayed prize for jb memes and also the hunger games no prize but that one was lil / no effort) and we'd like to keep it that way.

Ahh that's different. The prize was given to scootyman by the host but it's Kevin who does the next step. Donor issue.

That or _black is a scammer!!!

Maybe we should pelt this "underscore black" person with bricks to teach them a lesson for scamming poor scootyman!
