Contests & Giveaways Guidelines

Recommended Posts

Greetings! If you are looking to host or participate in a giveaway or contest, you've found the right place! 
By following these simple rules and reminders, we can ensure a safe and fun environment for all participants.
 
If you wish to HOST a giveaway or contest:

  • Your initial post should clearly establish if you are running a GIVEAWAY or a CONTEST (ie, does everyone who posts automatically get entered or must they complete a task or competition to win?)
  • Please post the rules in a clear and concise manner (Is a minimum post count required? Do the participants have to have been Neopets members for a set amount of time?) 
  • Absolutely NO entry fees or "prize pools" can be solicited from participants. While TDN supports your right to hold a giveaway on our site, requesting or suggesting donations/fees/etc will be viewed as solicitation and will result in disciplinary action. 
  • If there is a "random" element involved (ie, in a giveaway versus a contest), please use random.org  to select your winners and post screen shots of the process. A tutorial will be posted soon. 
  • If you are regularly hosting a giveaway or contest, keep all contests on one board while keeping the original post updated with current rules and information.

If you wish to PARTICIPATE in a giveaway or contest:

  • Remember that TDN rules are in effect. Keep your posts at the 7 word minimum, no double posting, stay on topic, etc. 
  • Follow any additional rules established by the host. 
  • Do not beg for items or put down other participants.

 
AND REMEMBER:

  • Keep all contests and giveaway discussion STRICTLY to the TDN forums. If you need to contact a host or participant, please PM via the TDN forum only. 
  • Please help keep the TDN forums a safe and welcoming environment for all of our members. Those deemed to be abusing the right to host or participate in giveaways and contests will have the privilege revoked. Have fun, but play fair!
  • Giveaways and Contests with prizes are strictly against Neopets rules. You subject yourself to this risk if and when you host or join one, and team TDN can not do anything about actions taken by TNT against your account should it be linked to holding contests. Please keep this in mind when you are using this forum.
