[QUOTE="wiggam007, post: 1503246, member: 18436"]"not numismatically related" contests. I am just trying to get clarification on what this means. We have seen two threads closed recently for this reason: the Spin to Win contest and an NFL contest. Even though these contests were giving out numismatic prizes, it seems that they were closed because the way to win those prizes were not numismatically related. However, at the very top of the contest thread are open contests for guessing how many medals a country will win in the Olympics, hardly different from the NFL thread, and one for people to guess the mileage of a car. Are these really any more numismatically related than the other threads that have been closed? I have run a contest on here for three years now around the March Madness Basketball tournament. When it comes around again next year, will it too be closed for these same reasons? If this is the case, can such contests be posted in the General Discussion forum? After all they are "off-topic" from the rest of contests being held. I am just trying to get some bearing on this shift in enforcement because this has been going on for, as I pointed out, years and enforcement seems to be a bit hit or miss to me. Can those of us who enjoy holding contests for our peers on this site get some clarification?[/QUOTE]
