Today I posted a 1 day contest to get people to guess a Sedo auction's end price, offering $1000DNF. Obviously I'm copying this idea from the others I have seen doing it lately. However all those threads have been closed.
Obviously DNForum has decided that contests shouldn't be used in this manner...
However, it seems that these weren't hurting anybody. At least $DNF are being healthily spent? What does it matter?
I get the feeling that because contest posts come up in iSpy, this is a leading factor in defining whether or not these threads are annoying to the community?
What if DNForum launched 2 iSpy versions, one purely for the sales forum categories, and one for everything else?

. I obviously started a contest due to observed success by whoever came up with the idea. I'm guessing the iSpy flooding was a big motivating factor. A lot of people have iSpy open nearly 24/7, i keep mine on my second monitor a lot of the time which is mounted on the wall. It's like a stock ticker to me lately.
