    So don't spam, post reasonable things. The minimum for links is 10 posts; it shouldn't be that hard to find that many topics to provide reasonable responses within almost a week that you have left for the contest.

    You should really re-evaluate your anti spamming measures. You've got a captcha on registration and searches. You've got an email verification requirement. And now you've got a minimum posting level before you can add URLs to your post. You've reached the point where you're hurting a real human with all of these hoops:

    All I was trying to do was participate in your "Be nice, not naughty!" giveaway but your own systems prevent me from doing so. I'm not willing to spam 10 posts just to get around your arbitrary and ineffective spam measures. This is the kind of heavy handed treatment that'll make me get my WoW related news elsewhere.

    This. Of all the discussion here, between all of the wow forums (both general and class) and all of the off-topic forums (besides off-topic fun, where post count is disabled), we have so much to talk about. There are lots of places to give an opinion, post some cool art, ask a question, or anything. Even the news forum counts; let us know what you think about the latest contest or blue posts there.

    Oh no, poor leeches can't get a chance for free things. Imagine needing to actually contribute to the community in order to be eligible for a contest with prizes with real life value. If you signed up just to enter a contest, personally I don't think you deserve to enter. Maybe that's just me.

    Ironically, a person can't post some cool art until they have 10 posts, so your suggestion list kind of goes from "this is useful" to "is this guy intentionally being a jerk? hope not..." all of a sudden, there.

    TCG loot requires that you buy a card, either by getting lucky or purchasing the specific card from another site. All of the TCG loot prizes for this contest sell for ~$100+. According to wowtcgloot, who is providing said prizes, the mottled drake is worth upwards of $300. The Pet pack prizes cost real money to acquire from the blizzard store, as well. This is what I mean when I say real life value. It's not like the prize is a pet rock and a stack of herbs.

    There are many things in place to prevent ads, spam and other such undesirable posts from appearing on the site. They are not meant to punish a new user, but to protect the community as a whole against things that no one wants to see in the first place. Granted it may be an inconvenience to someone who just singed up to post for the contest, however earning 10 posts isn't a big deal.

    Or our english is not perfect. Feeling shameful not being able to write without typos or making mistakes unintentionally...
    I perfectly understand english but it takes me a lot of efforts to write in it, and making 10 posts would take me 10 times the effort it takes you to do it
    Anyway, so be it, merry christmas nonetheless
