If everyone PMs Lee, you'll flood his inbox.

I'd rather follow the instructions than risk my points not be counted by sending it to a different address.

A good number of posts you have made there already

I'm a spammer. My deepest apologies.

As for the results -- I think you PM your scores to Lee. Your submissions, on the other hand, get emailed.

**sizzler_chetan** · 05-12-2008, 02:17 AM

This was a fun contest and provided a good break from my other site development stuff.

I've submitted my entry.

Good luck all!

**Lpspider** · 05-13-2008, 01:14 AM

About 24 hours left, correct?

And all articles have to be submitted by midnight tomorrow or they don't count, correct?

Is there one more day (24 hours) left?

**sizzler_chetan** · 05-13-2008, 03:02 AM

I think yes, as its 12th here and contest ends on 13th May.

Okay good, I wasn't sure. It just turned the 13th here. But Lee said today and tomorrow, so I don't know. when people say thing end at midnight it always throws me off. I wish people would say like 11:59 pm or 12:01 am. It'd keep alway a lot of confusion.

In the contest details it actually says:
THE CONTEST ENDS MAY 13th AT MIDNIGHT (CST)

Thanks, but that doesn't help. I know what it says. But if you'd read my post you'd see there was confusion of when was actually midnight. For example, I thought midnight last night was midnight on the 13th. 12:01 am on the 13th. So is it 12:00 (midnight) on the thirteen as well?

It might be better if the admin just comes and announces that it is officially closed and then people submit their entries in.

**NaughtyGirl** · 05-13-2008, 09:57 AM

Ok, I just had a revelation.. late as it is... I stumbled upon the mention of people using 'rewriters' which apparently are programs that rewrite a written article, thus making it unique. Now I was just thinking, if someone uses one of these they could easily submit hundreds of 'unique' and 'original' articles to the contest.

To me, this idea sucks. Because I've really put a lot of work into this contest.

I am HOPING that the admins will note suspicious entries like this that submit so many 'unique' articles that really aren't unique at all but have been 'cheated' using rewriters.

Then again, maybe this is just me with the last contest day jitters.

I'm totally taking the day off tomorrow.

**sizzler_chetan** · 05-13-2008, 10:28 AM

Let admin handle that thing but you have pointed out a great fact. If someone does submit rewritten articles, then its waste for us working hard and writing articles in our own words.
Admins will have to be cautious with every aspect in selecting the winners and tallying the points

**GeorgeB** · 05-13-2008, 10:28 AM

NaughtyGirl, rewriters only work for SEO.

They are still machine generated adnd still make no sense when you actually read them. Easily spotted.

We actually are telling about article rewriters who are humans and they rewrite articles by just changing the way of writing of an article.

Machine generated are very easily detected, thats a known fact actually

I think that anyone that submits more than 100 articles would become suspicious in my opinion. It sounds like, from the moderator, that the admin are on top of their game though.

I'm going to try to stop letting my paranoia get to me.

Hey WHAT WAS THAT NOISE!???
