This might sound controversal but what are poeples views on the people that create an accout just to enter a giveaway and then never use the LTT forums again? 
Anyone think people should have at least 2 or more posts to enter giveaways? Yes i know they draw people to the forum and that some then go onto use the forums but this is just a thought.... I dont care just wondering what others views are! :) 

If you want a reply PLEASE QUOTE ME!

Don't care. If they've been watching their content, who am I to say who can and cant enter it? 

If it was important, I am sure Linus would add a minimum post amount.

What do they know of England, who only England know?

well.. I mean I joined for a giveaway, so can't really judge.. But I don't think 2 posts should be the minimum to join, first off you can get that in a second and second of all, if the post count was higher, why would people join for a giveaway? (because keep in mind, these giveaways make many people join and make some stay).

Only mods can delete posts. You can report it to get it removed, but why would you want to? It's a pretty valid question to get a discussion :P
