more info from Adam
Once we reach the post count requirement, I will create three raffle threads in the Pentax Forums Giveaways section. These threads will open at 05:00 (5am), 13:00 (1pm), 22:00 (10pm) UTC on or after August 30th. Each thread will accept up to 80 replies, each of which will be a raffle entry. Our system will attempt to automatically enforce this limit and any post beyond the 80th in any of these threads will not be considered a raffle entry.
If you make 180 or more posts during August, you will automatically receive a raffle entry and will not need to post.
After all raffle entries are claimed, I will pick a random number n between 1 and the number of total raffle entries, and our winner will be the holder of the nth raffle entry.
There are some additional requirements for users to be able to post in the raffle threads:
You must have at least 10 posts on the forum in August, prior to the start of the first thread
Your account must be registered at least 24h prior to the creation of the raffle threads
You are not eligible if you've previously won a camera through this giveaway
Limit one entry total, per month, per household
