Why is there selective grant of access to old challenges? Do you have to be friends/buddies with some people to get access or what has to be done besides 'quality' contribution? i see people wiht 500 posts having access and for some unknown reason, the power that be deem me ineligible to have access even after 1000 posts. Please let me know if i am missing something as people have recommended that the challenges are helpful and like Paul said, some of us post from work most of the time and after solving a problem on paper, it's time consuming to type it up and post it on here while you are trying to avoid being caught.
Please let's be fair and consistent with our rules.

Thanks and Regards

Folaa3, the rules are very consistent across members and you do not need to be friends/buddies to have access to the challenges. I agree with you that I did say that sometimes people are writing problems from work so they do not have time to answer all the questions but I would rather have a member do fewer problems but try to explain them instead of doing 500+ posts most of which having no explanation at all. As a matter of fact, you sometimes do not even need to have over 200 posts to have access to the challenges as long as you have fair quality posts.

You could only imagine a forum whereby everyone is always at work and just says A,B,C,D or E: Determine the value of such a club nothwithstanding the work excuse. We indeed do prefer quality over quantity. With all your due respect, I would perhaps suggest you to more actively participate in the discussion process, especially in the verbal forum, so that your access can be reassessed. Remember that this process will also benefit you.

thanks for directly addressing my issue Paul. I appreciate this because usually when I raise an issue, there is no direct reply except for innuendos here and there which was why i opened this thread.

The worst that could happen is i will have to pay for the challenges, which is no big deal right?
If i want it bad why not pay for it right? I'm sure that's the rationale behind most of the rules otherwise i would not have opened this thread if i hadn't noticed an inconsistency.
Yes there is an inconsistency in the process and i can point it out Paul. This is not to accuse you of anything, because Lord knows you have been helpful to everyone on this site and i can only wonder how you do it. thanks again.
I will let the matter rest but rules should be rules across the board.
I am not in the habit of blowing the whistle, but it's all good!

Okay. I will avoid multiple posts in the future. Howver, i am not the first to post multiple times and i've not seen others being warned against multiple posts.
Please accept my apologies.
