Yes they do read the top of this thread where it says:

- Entrants must be members of T2W with a valid and current username (before they create their contest account).

We have to do this otherwise the contest is open to false trading with multiple accounts and then the winner can just register a new account at the end and leave all other fake accounts with no T2W username.

there are no such rules of being a member of trade2win to enter the contest. it says no such thing on the contest page, and as has been pointed out previously, many are linking through to the contest page directly. having a t2w membership ruling in a t2w thread is preaching to the already converted one would have thought?

if you plug the gap in the contest page and amend the contest rules there, then you'll have a leg to stand on

do you see the issue yet?

This whole issue was brought up last month and it was made clear that a membership was required and was also discussed on the previous contest thread caused by members complaining about the ability to cheat. I agree that some holes need plugging in terms of how the technicals of it work but it does not alter the fact that this was stated on this thread at the top and is binding.

Agree. I am curious to how ForexChen got into the competition without visiting t2w.

they are linked through from an outside trading competition list, they are linked straight through to the comp page. they have no interest in t2w itself, and likely not read any theads here. this was very clear from the sveta debacle.

it's all very well admin jumping up and down saying it's been made clear, but it hasn't at all. these people that come to the comp are unaware of these rules of t2w membership, because the competition rules proper say nothing of the sort.

it does to the winners. and how t2w is perceived to the outside community.

whether they receive their prize or not is a different discussion.

1.if there is a new rule, it should put into Contest Rules within contest page,isn't it?

2.Think about that: there are a lot of contests holded by brokers.

People will just read Contest Rules in contest page .

So,if a new rule not be put into Contest rules in contest page,it should be invalid.


3.Basiclly,i join contests only use
NickName(ForexChen) and RealName(Chi Shun Chen),

Blog: Forex Chen
Plurk: http://www.plurk.com/ForexChen

nothing as far as i can see.

it's the very same situation as the april comp. they'll only join in discussions to claim the prize when nobody contacts them. as far as they are concerned they probably thought that joining forexdesk was joining t2w.

try it, go to one of the prob many portals they are coming in on and see for yourself Trade2Win | Demo contest this was discussed after the april comp debacle, everything promised, but sadly nothing done about it.
