ernierocker Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) Lots of great reviews so far! Already quite a few of you are qualified to win! A couple important things to note though! When you submit a review, please make sure you have selected a park rating. A couple of you have posted positive reviews but left the park rating at no stars. This will bring down the overall rating of the park! So please, if you have already made a review, make sure and check that you have rated the park. Otherwise, we will disqualify any reviews that have failed to do this! We also have a few reviews that do not qualify as "real reviews" with at least 250 characters in them (as stipulated in the contest rules). If you just simply say something like "Great small park", your review will be deleted and will not count towards your qualifying 20 reviews. Besides these minor things, we really have gotten some good reviews and look forward to more! Edited November 23, 2011 by ernierocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Well, this sucks. I've just had to give someone a temporary ban for not following directions, and spamming the park index with one sentence, three word reviews, and not even bothering to mark the rankings, in order to qualify for the contest. Let this be known - I WILL NOT TOLERATE PEOPLE WHO REFUSE TO FOLLOW THE RULES AND CREATE MORE WORK FOR THE MODERATORS!!!! Please follow directions. We've made it REALLY easy, and we could not be more clear or specific: Rules: 1. It has to be a "real" review (between 250 - 500 characters). You can't just write "This park is awesome! 5 Stars!" 2. You must post a link here to each of your park reviews for them to qualify. 3. TPR has the right to delete or disqualify any park review that doesn't meet our standards. 4. The winner must live in the USA. Thank you to those of you who are following instructions, and submitting GREAT reviews! I'm sure you all know who you are! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightypotato Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I'll probably submit some reviews to parks (because hey, why not?). Tragically, my non-Americanness leaves me bag-of-crapless.

ernierocker Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 ^Even if you can't qualify for the contest, we still really appreciate you submitted any reviews you are able to. The TPR Park Index is as good of a resource as we make it as a commutity. The more quality reviews we can get the better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightypotato Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 ^ Oh, I definitely plan on writing the reviews for the parks I've been to over the last little while, bag-of-crap eligible or not. Part of me wishes I could just copy/paste my trip reviews...but those are WAY longer than 500 words, let alone characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Remember that 20 reviews will get you in the drawing...which is good... but the person who posts the most reviews will AUTOMATICALLY WIN an IAAPA Bag-O-Crap!

rcdude Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Since I post reviews as I visit parks, I don't have anywhere I can review for this contest (already reviewed everywhere I've been), but this is a great way to increase the accuracy of the park index ratings.
