I think this contest model is cheap and broken. Even with the rules in place, it encourages garbage comments. Its easy to post something that isn't spam yet doesn't really have any substance, and there is no way you (techspot) have the man power to qualitatively assess all of the posts someone makes. I typically like reading the comments on the news postings, and sometimes contribute, but this just adds a bunch of fluff that I don't have time for.
