You may already know this, but…

After submitting a review or topic, or anything really, make sure you don’t change your screen name. That is, if you only feel the need to change it...so if you do, just make sure it’s done after the winners have been chosen for that particular day of sending something.

You may wonder what I mean, and yes…I know it sounds complicating, and it is.

Put it this way though…if you make a review and change your name before checking if you won or not, and then someone else out of the blue signs up to GAD with the screen name you used to own, they can win on the review that you had posted the day before, providing it was a winning review of course.

Still confused…I don’t blame you, but thanks for reading anyway.

You obviously do know better than me Mr.Snuggly, since you are a staff member of Special Reserve, but I know I am right because it has happened with the two screen names that I own.

But you are also right, because it could have been a one-off.

So both win - 50 50

LOL

Thanks though Mr.Snuggly, at least I now know that it can't happen again.

Have a good evening.

Why not just have a festive tagline? What more do you people want?

I changed my name from auf deutsch to Christmas Deutsch.
Think it'll matter?
No.
I thought I'd go festive.

What makes you think that? That's not true at all! Do some research before posting stuff like that!
