Well this is a first (that I know of).
Rant ON
Best I put the rule back into the Free Stuff Rules. Not that everyone seems to read them or if they do not all seem to follow them.
NO ONE IS TO NOTIFY THE WINNER Only by searching the thread will the winner find out if they have won.
I guess the below in big bold letters, in the first post of each draw, just doesn't doesn't get the message across or isn't clear enough.
:aro-d: ......... :aro-d: ......... :aro-d: ......... :aro-d: ......... :aro-d:
:aro-r: Winner will not be notified :aro-l:Only by viewing this thread will the winner find out who they are.
To date we've had around 150+ draws (including redraws) and no one (to my knowledge) ever informed the winner they had won. I'm disappointed it has happened in this one, although not surprised.
As I've said in previous draws you have to work for it and if the initial winner doesn't claim the prize without being told or didn't look, there is a redraw. This gives someone else a chance to take out the prize. On a number of occasions there have been multiple redraws.
I thought we were doing so well this time too. For the first time ever I only had to delete 6 entries that didn't follow rules by adding extra info or signatures. That's the least number in all the draws, by a long shot.
Rant off.
I'm not trying to take anything away from verawoods' win. :Party: Good on you verawood and congratulations. :partysmiley:
