Board Post Contest Achilles Heel..
 

If they're going to want to disqualify someone for too many posts in one thread, then, the only winners are very likely to be post bots...

A much more coherent and fair rule would be to not double post. When I participated in contests a few times, that is what I tried to avoid.

That works quite nicely and doesn't favor post bots so much.
They can still run the post numbers up, talking to eachother, but they won't have such a huge advantage as they do, now.

For example, if each idiot can only post 100 times in a several thousand post thread. Say three assholes with bots each own five nicks. 1500 of your posts will be fake.
