Just to make sure, fake contests to get reputation is against rules right?

I have seen contests asking for reputation and then closing thread without announcing the winner so I decide out of curiousity to check it out if it was legit and as result user refused badly to say who won and become really aggressive 😏  😏  😏

Do we report those things or leave it as it is?

the thread I am talking is this one:

I have seen many times, but only once I sent PM to ask for winner to see if it was legit, after I saw how aggressive he become I couldn't hold myself to open this thread to ask :)

Fake contests are disallowed. This happens sadly sometimes, just report it to staff. OP/Fake OP Contest will have consequences without doubt.
Sadly, some Fake OPs will provide proof, others will ignore, block or -3's you.


(I like to call them Fake OPs)

Contests that don't produce a winner are against the rules.
Only use HF to deal.

Fake OPs haha :P
I don't think he can provide fake proofs, except if one of his friends posted but I don't think it happen since he there was no winner

In this case I wrote the link of thread when a staff member see it I leave it in their hands.

I wouldn't open this thread of the "fake OP" wasn't aggressive :(

Fake contests are against the rules. Adding qualifiers such as "to get reputation" are irrelevant because fake contests are always against the rules.

If the report button is out of time, meaning it has been over 48 hours, just PM any of the staff members along with url of said contest! 🤝
