June Contest Winners [Updated]

Congrats to everyone who worked hard for the month of June! Here are the winners.

Please note due to a system error, I wasn't able to get the correct figures last night. The new winners have been listed.

Without further ado...

--TOP CONTRIBUTOR CONTEST (w/MINIMUM 2000 MANAGING SCORE)--

1st) Stringerbell [43010 points] - $125
2nd) micx [36950 points] - $90

KnowTechie - $10

--STORY COMMENT CONTEST--

2nd) sahil [700 points] - $25

All winners will be messaged via PM for further details regarding the collection of winnings by the 7th of July. Please note that if you do not respond within 7 days of receiving your PM, the contest prize goes down the ladder to the next person in line.

Stay tuned for July's contest details! That blog post should go live within the next 12-24 hours.

Thanks guys and congrats to all the winners. Big ups to sonicwrecks he went above and beyond with the management score.

ZoyosJD3273d ago

Not to be a downer here, but their seems to be a discrepancy between contest details and how winners are chosen.

1. final score determination - "The News Bonus score will be subtracted from the news score this month to determine final score."

2. story comment contest - "Top 2 Comment score this month will get you a $25 Gift Card." Stringerbell, micx, and myself all had a higher comment score than sahil and we actively engage in meaningful discussion.

Nonetheless, congrats to the hardworking members in the community.

Hey Zoyos,

It's my first time doing it but here's what I used.

For the comments - http://techspy.com/users/to... You did indeed put out a lot but Sahil beat you by a few comments, I guess on the last minute? That's why I waited a whole day before posting the results so that I could get in everyone's entries.

And the news stories. http://techspy.com/users/to... Again, close but not there. Remember that if any of your stories failed (e.g. aged past 2 days), those would not count towards your score.

Hope this clears it up.

ZoyosJD3273d ago (Edited 3273d ago )

Well, it's clear that sahil was spamming comments. 25 over the course of an hour is obviously a meaningless abuse of the system in order to bump numbers. At the time of my original post his final numbers had yet to rollover to due to the time zone (and possibly server) difference we have.

http://techspy.com/user/sco...

Look at the time frame of comments submitted.

As for the news stories you linked the news score, but as quoted from the contest rules the final score is determined by that number minus the bonus score.

Unfortunately the bonus news score page is glitched and shows leading members starting at a score of 0.

http://techspy.com/users/to...

Thus to make the calculation you must manually visit the scores of the leading users to subtract the bonus score from their news score. Using my own page as an example

http://techspy.com/user/sco...

My news score was 21650 and my bonus score was 8550, thus my final score would be 13100, which would hold third place solidly by ~7500 points.

Speed-Racer3272d ago

Fair enough. I don't know if last night's maintenance had anything to do with the scores but everyone's news bonus score was 0. I'll review it tonight and post updated results but the comment score stands as is unfortunately.

Speed-Racer3272d ago

Updated. You're now 3rd spot. The rest stays the same. Look out for PMs tonight.

sonicwrecks3272d ago (Edited 3272d ago )

Easy come, easy go. Or something to that effect.

Do I get an extra ~7501 points for pointing out that Bonus is for some reason spelt 'Bouns' at the moment?

Speed-Racer3272d ago

Everyone gets points per submission (100 points) and then a bonus on top (the amount of heat per story converted to points). You had a fair bit of heat so you did well overall but fell short to 4th place strictly on the number of submissions.

That bonus page is broken unfortunately in so many way LOL. Sorry for the mix up man. I'll post the new contest tonight so hopefully you can rank up at the end of July :)

ZoyosJD3272d ago (Edited 3272d ago )

LOL. Hey man, ya did good. I'm going to see if speed can drop a part of the prize on ya anyway just for your efforts.

BTW, the actual difference was 7540. Enjoy.

Stringerbell3271d ago

On a side note would it be possible to extend the life of stories in the pending section? For instance on animeshinbun stories can stay in the pending area for three days as opposed to two...

Speed-Racer3269d ago

I'll keep this in mind but for now, they're switching servers, so all these bugs we're encountering are/were as a result of that.
