I also received that mail but didnt follow those instructions as described!
Yet I agree with t2wave when he said:
Firstly he was emailed to his email to answer if he really was a US Resident like he told me !
Why didnt we get emailed I mean you are discriminating people!
What I can understand from this is that you had no rights into emailing him to ask for eligibility until he was announced as a winner as t was supposed to be 5th of this month!
Now the contest has changed dates to 11th of January!
I dont know if other changes are going to be made I hope not!
Second point when he says:
Secondly I dont see and it was brought by him that TheMasterBaron since he is a master skinner he do sympthasize and receives money from Stardock thus he is working for Stardock in a way !
I agree with him when he says that Stardock is in a way leaving some individuals promote themselves!
Because lets think more about this TheMasterBaron is a master skinner and therefore when he sells dreams he wins money that money goes both for Stardock and for him!
So in a way like t2wave stated he is cooperating with Stardock that makes him at the very least a Stardock friend of Stardock Employees!
Therefore he is not eligible to compete as the terms and conditions of this contest say explicitely:
Employees of Stardock, Dell, Alienware, Microsoft,
their friends and immediate families are not eligible to enter.
About this:
Isnt what the community is for to help each other well I followed his instructions and this is what we receive a kick in our butt!
I cannot talk about this because I dont know what happenned to you!
To answer the following statement:
Imagine if CafePress held a contest and stipulated that employees could not participate. Would this disqualify everyone who has ever used the CafePress service because they have "been paid" by CafePress? This is a pretty clear difference.
My answer is only yes they wouldnt have been allowed to participate because here the status of Master is something that is in a way very much different than other sites!
