It figures on one of Larues best giveaways ever, I get duped for the first time. Thanks Larue and mnd, and check you goddamn numbers people No need for filthy talk, just take it with a grain of salt, the report wasn't up until way after the contest was posted. Big deal, right? I'm just sayin', I search the drawing threads before I post a number, or I will wait for the report before posting a number so I don't dupe people. In this case, the report had been up several hours. I'll buzz of now. And thanks again to ML and mnd. |

What's all this DQ talk about ... ?
If two names are on the same number and that number gets drawn I go back to the random number generator and put in one and two and let it pick. |

I just found this data as a way to check if my number has been already posted, and then I found out that I am on the list as a double poster???
I chose my number (907)(page 64) and then I asked the question how to check if your number was already chosen (saying that there were a bunch of 1911s and 007s) (on page 66) and now I am on the double post list having picked 907 and 1911? Did I DQ myself by asking the question that happened to have a number in it? Thanks Tim (and thanks again for the contest...even if i am out of it!) |

Thanks for the response!!

View Quote I could be wrong, but some are double posting or editing their post. That seems to be what most of the DQ talk is about, or not. ETA: I could be wrong, I'm wrong a lot lately, lol. |

As a matter of interest, mnd, there's a multiple post that isn't registering as such on the report.
Number 1776 shows three entries by username One4theMW and it's counting them all as valid. I went back through the thread and checked, and sure enough there are separate entries on pages 76, 78, and 79. This isn't to rat out a user, just to point out an inconsistency in the report (maybe a code glitch?) in case it needed your attention. |

I've added rules to deal with some of them but there isn't a one size fits all approach. |

mnd, I unwittingly picked a screen name that had unwittingly posted 4 different numbers 4 different times ... How do I make sure I pass-over a DQ ? My suggestion would be to use the "raw-data" page to cross-check any candidate entry picked to verify that it meets your qualifications for winning. The "raw-data" page also shows the page and post number for the entry and I'd verify the entry in the contest thread as a final check. As I mentioned in my previous post, I've attempted to make the report script as comprehensive as possible but there are still a number of edge cases that are difficult to solve. ETA: I've kicked off another full thread scan to make the report reflect any past page edits. |

All three are black and still being counted toward the "valid" column on the report. Edits are still coming up blue. The raw data does have them flagged in the "M" (for "multiple" I assume) column, though. I wondered if it wasn't because of the amount of entries for that number. Now that I look again, the same thing is happening with number 1313 and user ID Mickdog13. Anyway, like I said, it's just an interesting curiosity. |

In the contest report, what is the difference between their number listed in green, vs no color at all?
My number was 1003, 7 others picked it and they show up in green, while mine is the only one that shows black. Thanks for the clarification Edit: Just saw the above clarification Looks like I'm still in the clear and the only one that didnt DQ himself for that number! |

Utterly fricking amazing.
There are over 1300 unpicked numbers available and STILL people are duping already chosen numbers. Nevertheless, GREAT BIG THANKS to Mark LaRue for being such a generous sole soul. It is precisely for reasons like this that if LaRue is an available choice for an item I want, LaRue will be my choice. |
