jbourne none of us are meaning an offence and are not demanding of you to verify in any way, you can enter the competition and not verify and if you win you will be awarded the prize members have given you with their votes, its just that we have found statistically that members tend to vote for verified members, we ask all members who enter and are not verified to verify as this will increase their vote and maybe a larger prize too, we ask this so contributors get the best vote for their contributions and therefore enjoy their experience here all the more.:)
We as moderators do this all for the fun and so we as moderators keep a happy medium here at the forum, I always strive to keep the competition a fun place for all and always treat everyone the same regardless of verified or non verified, I hate to see anyone enter here and feel disappointed by the lack of comments or votes but each vote is down to the individual here and so I always try to get each contributor the best help in getting more votes and members being verified before voting starts I think always increases their chances.
Thanks guys for the support, really means a lot.:)
