This post comes to mind:
A topic where you ask people to guess the price and give their reasoning would not be incentivized posting warranting movement to Games & Rounds. But because there is a prize, it is incentivized posting and should be moved to Games & Rounds according to the rules-as-written.
However: Almost all rules are subject to mod discretion. The reason for the rule against games with incentivized posting outside of "Games & Rounds" is to prevent unfair/excessive bumping and "last-posts"-filling except in "quarantine" sections which people can ignore. In El duderino_'s games:
- El duderino has no incentive to cause spammy replies. The prize is a true gift.
- The game has a pretty high entry requirement which prevents the replies from actually becoming spammy.
- El duderino_ very much prefers that the games be in Speculation rather than Games & Rounds.
Therefore, it's most appropriate in this case to apply mod discretion and make an exception to the rules as written; El duderino_'s future games of this sort can stay in Speculation.
Thanks Loyce! Games and rounds it is. I just wanted to be extra mindful of the mods with this. I think I’ll do a self moderated thread as well. Should have probably done this last time.
Anyways, locking thread. Looking forward to kicking this off. Mods if you have any suggestions or recommendations for anything plz shoot me a DM. Thx.
