Contest?
If I wanted to have a contest for an account I made, could I do that? I mean like, creating an account with the pass word as an anwser to a riddle, then tell people the riddle. Whoever gets the right anwser wins the account. Am I alowed to do that?

Re: Contest?
I dont think you should auction off accounts like that.
I mean, you could do it, but you probably shouldn't.

Re: Contest?
The problems with this type of account are:
1. The Scratch Team doesn't know who they are, so if they need to ban them, they don't know who broke the community guidelines or whatever and so they have to punish everyone who had access to that account.
2. What if two or more people have access to it? That can cause lots of problems.

The scratch team can just block that account in such an eventuality.

Re: Contest?
The Scratch Team doesn't really like an account having more than one owner, maybe if you made them change the password though. Can you not think of any other prize?

Re: Contest?
Mainly, it's not a good idea. Advertise your contest in show and tell and your signature. And, mintfang, I'm doing a contest spree right now. I won't consider it spam if you comment on one of my projects and ask.
