And I proved you wrong.

I fail to see what relation this has to 1/2 pint winning GAD?

Well if it had everyone in stitches there is no reason, but to be honest if it didn't have proper SPAG I would disagree. Mind you, how likely is that to happen?

Whats the difference if someone comes along and writes a stunning topic 2 minutes after you poost yours?

The best tactic is to read every single review posted that day and to decide whether to post the review. If they are all top quality..don't post. If they aren't as good as they normally are post it. Also, when something big is happening try and post something good. If people are distratced they are less likely to post something of good quality.
Speaking about GADs I still have some topics that I wrote while in Ibiza, the topic I won with was written there and I have quite a few more which I have been saving since I came back after being banned.
