I'm personally begining to get annoyed with all the posters spaming the main pages topic with resonces about elephants and peanuts, many people using the phrase themselves. Its giving me a migrane.
If there is no post containing the phrase, there is no need to add a reply about it, nor is there any reason people other then the contest makers should be posting the secret phrase in the responces.
Wonder how the mods are feeling about doing todays contest like this. I know it's already giving me a headach.............

You mean like this? http://androidforums.com/forum-games/301768-story-game-10.html#post3592109
I thought that was gonna be fun... It IS a game, after all...
I am not posting a link in this post. I am not making an entry in the contest with this post. But what I am going to do i say I hope you guys are recording people's IP addrsses. Because the number of new users to the amount of posts after a false article is made is killing me. There are people out there that are just making a new account for each new article posted on phandroid.
So, record their IP address as they make new accounts. If an account has been made in the same day with the same ip address, disqualify people by that. Just saying.

No I mean in the responses for all the new news articles posted on the main webpage how everyone is spamming all the articles with elephant elephant peanut peanut and saying the phrase themselve confusing the hell out of everyone rather then posting something relevant about the article.
While the contest is going on, it would be nice hearing, well reading people comments about the actual article posted rather then just contest contest contest. You know?
Nothing wrong with games in the forums games section. lol
That's what goes on in there after all.

F YOUR POST HAS BEEN EDITED AT ANY TIME FOR ANY REASON, THAT ENTRY WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY DISQUALIFIED AND YOU WILL NEED TO SUBMIT A NEW ENTRY TO QUALIFY FOR CONSIDERATION"
That says you can keep submitting new entries, just can't edit old ones.

Hahaha, I was thinking the same thing after I saw the post XD
Contests like this requiring the 'first post' that have no rules basically force people to post immediately. It's the only hope of winning.
