Come on dudes, no arguments!
Not helping anyone.
So as Masseur asks, are raffles to be given the go ahead?
if so what rules are required!

The biggest issue is going to be: who gets to raffle? and how often?
Maybe 1 per quarter for traders over a certain about of feedback and membership in the forum? |

Hi,
yes, F1 asked me if I would, and I said I can.
I would have managed it PeterKay style because he, like me, is a top man 
Is there a voting yes - no function on Esato ? I can't remember.....

Ofiaich,
Yes, you agreed for this Iphone but would you want to do it for everyone who wants a raffle?
And F1, no-one flamed your thread to get a cheaper price! Personally, I thought it was too expensive as well, as did others. Let's have a vote to see if we want them before setting up rules. If the majority say no, it will save an awful lot of someone's time.
I think we are on a rocky road personally.......

I take it that Esato can do this without a special license, wherever it's hosted? Thing is, a raffle is technically speaking a form of gambling in some countries.
But that's just a technicality and so not at all helpful! What we could do with is a little PHP script to tag on to the site that, on the press of a button, draws the winning number(s) and posts them to a locked topic. If you stick the script behind a password, you could even invite guest members to access the page whenever a draw is due and press the button.
All automatic so no cheating And such a script would not be difficult to make...

Sorry, Cyclovision, all I meant was that we might need a licence for gambling which is what it is.
Not trying to be funny or smart!

HeHeHe! Yeah, I was only kidding of course, I must have missed your post
Back on Topic, what does everyone think of the PHP script idea for drawing the numbers? At least it solves one problem (to an extent)?

I think the method of drawing is less of an issue than the issue of who gets to do a raffle, how often and the price
price being one of the key considerations |

Hi dougproctor!
Ofiaich,
Yes, you agreed for this Iphone but would you want to do it for everyone who wants a raffle?
No, not for everyone, but I think to help out once in awhile is ok...

^^^^ Yes, that's your choice, of course. And once in a while would be probably okay but I think it will become the norm for the reason above i.e. can't sell - not offered enough - let's have a raffle!
Sorry, will but out now - you know my feelings,

Hi!
yes, as you say, my choice, and yes, sometimes OK for me to do.
But it would not become the norm for me, nor would I buy a ticket for every raffle.
I guess the Mr. Laffen can make an appearance and decide !
