Come on dudes, no arguments!
Not helping anyone.
So as Masseur asks, are raffles to be given the go ahead?
if so what rules are required!

The biggest issue is going to be: who gets to raffle? and how often?
Maybe 1 per quarter for traders over a certain about of feedback and membership in the forum?

Hi,
yes, F1 asked me if I would, and I said I can.
I would have managed it PeterKay style because he, like me, is a top man
Is there a voting yes - no function on Esato ? I can't remember.....

Ofiaich,
Yes, you agreed for this Iphone but would you want to do it for everyone who wants a raffle?
And F1, no-one flamed your thread to get a cheaper price! Personally, I thought it was too expensive as well, as did others. Let's have a vote to see if we want them before setting up rules. If the majority say no, it will save an awful lot of someone's time.
I think we are on a rocky road personally.......

I take it that Esato can do this without a special license, wherever it's hosted? Thing is, a raffle is technically speaking a form of gambling in some countries.
But that's just a technicality and so not at all helpful! What we could do with is a little PHP script to tag on to the site that, on the press of a button, draws the winning number(s) and posts them to a locked topic. If you stick the script behind a password, you could even invite guest members to access the page whenever a draw is due and press the button.
All automatic so no cheating

And such a script would not be difficult to make...

Sorry, Cyclovision, all I meant was that we might need a licence for gambling which is what it is.
Not trying to be funny or smart!
