Railway codes: not happy

I agree that the distribution of codes could have been handled better - I managed to get one, but only after about twenty tries on the Recaptcha (visual and audio - always have problems with both of these) and several instances where the server couldn't deliver the page to my browser.
I can imagine how it would be fairly trivial to get more than one code using different email accounts (and even different IP addresses if that was checked too). I like the idea of restricting such offers to registered members of the site, however I don't see how this would stop someone operating multiple accounts to take advantage of such offers in the future. I also like the idea of a 'lottery', which by far seems the fairest method, but perhaps this would not be permitted legally?
However, while I can appreciate the frustration of long-term members who missed out, I don't think that allowing all users to participate demonstrates that MSE doesn't appreciate loyal members - I think that restricting access to deals would go against the ethos and change the nature of the site.
While I'm on the topic, and I know it doesn't make up for missing a voucher, I'd like to say "thanks" to all those members that do spend a lot of time on the site, helping people out, offering advice and letting everyone else know about money saving deals etc. I've been a member for a while (but don't post a lot), and really appreciate those that spend their free time to help others. :T0 -
Stop being so silly. That's not what was meant and your comment is neither loyal or a worthwhile contribution.
By all means show me where a valued member/contributer is shown any more consideration than a lurker/free rider and I shall reconsider
Dan has already admitted that we don't "rank" any higher than anyone else on the net as far as MSE is concerned ...could be worse I suppose it's better than being ranked lower :rotfl:It's not just about the money0 -
Why is it being silly ?

How do MSE decide who is a valued member/contributer? No of Posts? Length of 'service? Or maybe 'Thanks' ?
Compare our 'stats' and tell me who is the most valued member/contributer and why?0 -

It would be quite easy to have included a link in the email that went live after a certain time/date etc etc
So please answer the question .....show me where a valued member/contributer is shown any more consideration than a lurker/free rider and I shall reconsider.It's not just about the money0 -
It could start with those that have registered for the email

7 million have registered for the email. Tell me how you decide the 30,000 valued members/contributers amongst them?
The mail goes out to 7 million...again who amongst them are valued members/contributers?
How does MSE decide?
Again I ask you who is more valued you or I on MSE? And why?0 -

It would also mean one code per registered user ...as in the case of those who got 8/9 codes using various email addy's
I personaly know someone not a member who got 3 using those tactics ...not exactly fair is it ?Again I ask you who is more valued you or I on MSE? And why?
We are both the same ...we are both members and contributers there is no difference other than I've been here longer and more post's...but that doesn't mean I deserve anything more than you so please don't try to use that tac.
I ask again for the 3rd time........show me where a valued member/contributer is shown any more consideration than a lurker/free rider and I shall reconsider.It's not just about the money0 -
I'm asking you to give me and MSE an easy way to give away 30,000 vouchers fairly and equally.
What do you consider to be valuable members/contributers.
Did you get a voucher?0
