Forex Zone Monthly Contest

I've to  bring  referral  every  month  and  yet  their  referral  can  be  also mine  just like MLM

This month's winners are:


1st Place: Bendt

2nd Place: Prowriter

3rd Place: ForexPips


The next winners will be selected February 1st. Thank you to all who participate in the contest!

As of today January 1st,  the monthly contest terms will be slightly modified.

Previously:
Whoever ranked in the top 3 spots were contest winners. Winners were based solely on the top 3 rankings in the total forum statistics.

Now:
The winners will be top 3 referrers compared to the previous month. Which means it is possible for there to be a winner who is actually not ranked in the top 3 in the total forum referral statistics. Everything else stays the same. So every month a member's referral count will be compared to their previous month's count. This numerical difference will be used to determine winners. See the modified terms in the 1st post for details.


Reasons for the change:

1) It encourages new members to participate. As it was before, a new member would join the forum and see that members who rank 1-3 already have hundreds of referrals. It would take too long for this new member to catch up to these numbers. So new members were discouraged from participating.
2) The new way acts like a monthly 'reset'. This puts all members on a level playing field, instead of the members with the top 3 rankings having an advantage.
3) Some members have previously understood the terms in this new way actually. And some have voiced their dislike for the old way. So the new contest terms may be considered fair and more widely accepted now.

The monthly contest is being suspended until further notice. If you are a member who is interested in this contest and/or interested in referring members to this forum, please PM me.

Reasons for suspending contest:

• Cheating of the system by a couple members. Hundreds of fake and useless accounts were created to inflate the referral counts. The accounts were triggered by the forum security software and they were also proven to be spam accounts by manually investigating the matter with other methods.
• Lack of interest and participation. Only about 4 members ever participated. Out of these, 2 of these members cheated the system.
• No valid activity has occurred in days. Since it is only January 3 and payments have just been issued at the new month, no members will be in a loss for efforts made so far. So ending the contest now does nobody any harm.

what is the purpose of this contest?

The contest is not active at this time. I'm not sure what else you need help with.

Ok, maybe there is a job that I can do here?

Please PM me if you have something specific in mind.

An interesting contest, does this contest take place every month? Until when will this contest end?

The monthly contest has been started again. It is very similar to the previous contest. Check the updated details in the 1st post.

The first winners will be selected April 1st. This is because it is currently February 15 and not a full month will pass by the time March 1st comes. This also gives members time to review the new details and to get started. It also gives some time for questions to be asked and for any details to be made clearer. The contest is active and all members can start though.

Please review the details carefully in the 1st post before asking any questions.
