If two did actually complete the requirements and they did in fact renege on the actual give away I would in this case support a negative rating. If there is evidence of this I would like to see it.
Actually... it looks like I misinterpreted something that QS mentioned upthread... my bad. I've edited my post.
But blenderio did indeed say that there were "too few people"... and also claims that they meant that anyone who didn't make 10 posts would not be counted as participants.
No, I meant the ones who didn't make 10 posts won't be counted as a participants. Unfortunately, there were too few ppl for 2nd week and none of them completed requirements. Stay tuned for the next event, it will be as big as this one, if not even bigger.
In the end, I don't believe they were running a "scam"... TryNinja did get an iPhoneX as promised... tbh, it seems like just a very poorly run giveaway... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
