Free Pellet Gun Give Away - 'Locked' by Admin - What the heck?

[OldWays]

I've never seen a post contest locked before by admin, is there a new policy?

SFRC: can I have a pellet gun?

Most forum giveaway threads I'm familiar with have a set close date to allow people to enter
In order to enter you would have to reply to the thread ONCE replying more then once you lose your chance. Then on the set date the thread gets locked and a random number generator used to pick a winner.
I always thought the "spam thread" giveaways was a stupid idea.

That's no fun.

Agreed on the stupid comment, but previously allowed and sometimes funny and they do generate a lot of energy (and use up band width I would imagine)

Locking this folks. I'll pick a winner from the posters.
