silver Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 At least they are approving the reviews and giving the points. We must be grateful for that But you can still get points for comments and that was supposed to have stopped months ago. Maybe nobody ever told them we were still getting points for comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sariflor Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 What I find interesting about this discussion is the way different people view the concept of "spamming". Some people consider posting comments spam; Others consider it to be spam when people post tons of pictures that are not really related to Mika in any direct or even semi direct way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people consider posting comments spam; Others consider it to be spam when people post tons of pictures that are not really related to Mika in any direct or even semi direct way whatever WE consider as spam doesn't matter though - it's only spam if mikasounds thinks it is. for me, spam are for example those comments where people build a whole sentence by posting just one letter per comment! posting pix that aren't in any way related to mika are no spam, but they're against one of the few clear rules that mikasounds gave for the competition. same for "many similar pix" - but the interpretation what is similar, or until when it's still mika related does vary widely.

Sweetieval Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I posted my video review 10 days ago and it was not still approved..Is anybody else in the same situation? It was the same for me but I have been given 1500 points yesterday November 1st ! However, I did not get any points for the t-shirt design I hsent them ages ago...

suzie Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 for me, spam are for example those comments where people build a whole sentence by posting just one letter per comment! posting pix that aren't in any way related to mika are no spam, but they're against one of the few clear rules that mikasounds gave for the competition. Comment posting the way you mention is not against the rules, either. I personally find it more pathetic if someone posts a picture of themselves claiming to be Mika related since they are fans, or a picture of their dog because she often barks to Grace Kelly whatever WE consider as spam doesn't matter though - it's only spam if mikasounds thinks it is. yes, this is what all picture and comment spammers abuse and I don't blame them. Referring to an earlier post of yours here, you do not need to understand web programming to realise that the rules of the competition encouraged spamming. It was not thought through, or in case it was, the site owner's (Universal) main objective was to generate as much traffic to Mikasounds as possible so that they could sell advertising space on it.

babspanky Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Well I've just made a few comments on suzie's wall and not received any points. So either it's a glitch or they have stopped points. Can someone else try to see if it works for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be because the site admin likes me I posted something on your wall this morning and I got 5 points ...or it could be that they woke up, saw the calendar and pulled the plug as they realised that the competition has ended.

I'll check in a minute Well anyone would like you. But I was wondering if they were working hard updating everyone's points yesterday and when they had finished they closed it. Because I got points for a video yesterday as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzie Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I was wondering if they were working hard updating everyone's points yesterday and when they had finished they closed it. Because I got points for a video yesterday as well. I still have photos I uploaded last week unapproved and I moved up one postition since this morning. Funnily enough my points seem to be much more than last time I checked but it could be that I don't remember them well because I never pay attention to that... I was thinking they might have added me points for a video, too, even though I have never uploaded any However, one thing is certain: they have added 5 points right after I wrote you something.

suzie Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 My profile is still just a blank screen and I still have no clue why? It must be some technical problem with the site. I heard someone had the same problem yesterday but now it is working fine for her. Mikasounds is just another word for the Bermuda triangle.
