How would we know if our answer or question has passed the above ?  As it can be debatable if it is good question or answer no?   Will you or other moderators let us know?

I should of started a new thread for that question  [tongue]

Just use good common sense. Don't ask a question that has an obvious answer, like "what's the depth of cut for the TS 55". It should be meaningful and in the end hopefully helpful to others. The purpose of that particular rule is to discourage useless questions.

Moderators will not "approve", annotate or otherwise denote eligible posts. Just follow the spirit of the contest and you'll be fine.

Think you meant to say winners. Yes, it will be the set. I will update the description of the contest to specify that.

What does Freud have to do with this?  It's about Festool.  -----  That was a helpful response/answer to a question so it didn't require a new thread.  Right?  [scratch chin]

 

[flair woodworks]

I opened this thread to read official rules stated very seriously and ended up finding the most entertaining thread I've seen in a while!  Thanks, guys!

 

[ajones]

my spelling is not the best, and my punctuation is worse.but I do try to make sure what I write is legible,even if the content is somewhat questionable.
so can it be included in the competion rules that the questions have to have been spelt correctly. [smile]

[waynelang2001]

I'm finding it really difficult to come up with original questions. Every thing Ive thought of can be found with the search function.

Same here dude!  Keep trying to think of something but I know the answer my self  so I could play stupid and make out I don't know  and like you said it has been spoken about before some where on fog

Sucks I need a question to ask!

[fidelfs]

JMB,

The answers also count for the contest, so no need to find questions just help someone.

I know but no one has asked any questions really to answer unless I missed them!  I answered to windmill but da ain't really a helpfull answer I think.  I help people on here!  Normally with a video  does that count?

I will be featuring the contest in our next email newsletter which I suspect will generate activity in the form of questions being asked. Veteran members should concentrate more on answering questions. New members will offer plenty of opportunities over the next 5+ weeks to answer their questions. Be patient.  [wink]

Answering a question, even in the form of a video, would count as an eligible entry.
