Happy Holidroid Contest 12/6: Secret Phrase!

Just out of curiosity, where is this rule because I read both the original post plus the one for this contest and it isn't there? Basically by adding it now you've just screwed over anyone who already posted. Of course, like everyone is going to post after I write this, you can do what you want with your contest. However, it sure seems unfair to announce rules after the fact especially when they will disqualify people.

The rules are in the original contest post. After we realized what people were doing we felt it was necessary to change the rules because we care about providing a fair chance for everyone more than anything else. If people are going to use bots or post a link to every new article until they win, we don't think that is fair. I understand that changing the rules after the fact reflects badly upon us and we apologize. We also admit that this particular contest was organized a bit poorly and we will brainstorm for the next one to make sure the competition is fair for everyone and to make sure the rules to make the competition fair are in place well before we post.

Again, I apologize.
