I have virtually nothing in my FB account. :D
I don't have much, but I do have a bit, since I've had it so long... stuff accumulates.
Cheers for having an alternative to Facebook. Thanks for the giveaway!
Awesome!
7 more days before we close entries to our giveaway!
Due to excessive and inappropriate hate mail, threats, and general misunderstanding, I have found a way to disable Facebook authorization requirements. It should no longer ask you to provide some details to help with anti-abuse systems. Instead I will be hand combing our entries to ensure people are not attempting duplicate entries. Any attempts at abusing the system will be placed on our internal blacklist. I believe this is the best way to appease privacy critics while keeping a system that allows easy entry and for us to run a giveaway easily. We will be looking at alternatives for future events.
internal blacklist
sounds scary!
Geez... hate mail and threats? It's just a giveaway...
Well, I entered via email - thanks for the opportunity!!
Hate mail? Come on guys, if you don't like FB, don't use FB.
I wouldn't mind if you filtered it to previous customers. ;)
Yeah, way to grow a business.
While I appreciate how labour intensive this is, I appreciate your respect and concern for those that have expressed concern.
It really sounds like you’ve filtered out the human emotion part of feedback and correlated the facts as bullet points and are acting upon them, which to me at least, is a massive positive for your company, since it’s demonstrating you’re willing to take aboard and act upon feedback.
I also desire to take the chance to express my distaste to those that are too gutless to express their opinions openly for scrutiny (looking at the hatemail fraternity and in particular those making threats).
Is it possible that a portion of those emails are from competitors ?
The wait is almost over. Entries will close on Friday at midnight. Good luck to all participants!
Who are the winners?
Currently contacting people still since it's based on drawing order to choose prizes. People have 48 hours to respond before I move on to the next name. I've edited OP to include the contacted winners so far.
Congrats to the winners..!
Congrats to the 8 winners and tks Calvin!
Well it seems that pigs have taken to the frozen skies of hell and I've actually won in this giveaway.
I'm still having trouble believing this, but I did send Calvin a reply just in case the email was in fact more than just a product of my wishful thinking.
I goes without saying that I'm really happy for winning my first ever giveaway and looking forward to getting my hands on this light!
Major thanks to IS for organizing this and to Calvin for humoring us tinfoil-hatters by ensuring proper privacy. That alone earns quite a few points in my book*.
P.S. Wooooooooooooooo Hoooooooooooo!!!!
