Please don't use this as an opportunity to mass revive threads on PC. Not only will this get you an infraction/warning, you're just making things extremely difficult for our mods. Everyone here partaking in mass posting needs to read the rules before they get into that, and yes I'm posting this because this has already been an issue.
Don't ruin the fun for your fellow event-goers. Read the rules.
Also, just to add on to what Ben said, you cannot restrict users to only posting in your threads. If you are going to have a posting event like this, you cannot have such a silly requirement. This is not a self-promotion event and will not be one.
We actually had a pm from you forwarded to us stating that contestants could only post in threads started by you but if you want to lie about it, ok. I'm just stating that you cannot make that a restriction. It's a bit ridiculous.

Brendan, I really appreciate that u saw my side to this as well, thnx for that man & sorry for all that happened, it was unintentional.
But I'm sorry to say, but this could have been handled much better & I really need to clear things from my end.
First off, I've never restricted anybody to Posting only on my Threads, on any other Challenge except this one. Since it was the final Challenge, I thought that would make it more Challenging. It was a miscalculation, an error of judgement if I may call it, coz I did not expect so many Posts to be made. Mistake admitted.
U say u have the PM. Did I ever mention there to revive my old Threads? No I did not, if fact I clearly stated, post only on "active" Threads. But for some reason u seem to have conveniently missed that part out.
One of the contestants, who is new here & not aware of the rules btw, did that coz she wanted to do well on the Challenge, so can't blame her either. I've been around the Forums long enough to know most of the rules.
And I really don't appreciate being called out in public & made to look like some kinda self-centred, egotistical, liar. On the contrary, I've gone out of my way, to make sure Contestants on my Event are comfortable & made sure I explain everything in detail. Yes there have been arguments, its a competitive Event, that's expected. But I've always tried to solve any issues that have cropped up, most of the times successfully. And I'm sure everyone on the Event, the contestants & even Brendan & Nica, will vouch for that.
I've worked my ass off to make sure everything goes smoothly. I have a full-time job, I'm a student, I have other responsibilities & with all the stuff going on out here (google up "demonetization in India" & u'll know what I'm talking out), I have a lot on my plate. Despite all that, I make sure I come here regularly & not only keep the Event updated, but try participate in other activities around the Forum as well.
If u think something was wrong, u could have easily PMed me & asked me something like "Hey Chu why are people reviving ur old Threads" or "Hey Chu, I know u asked contestants to only post on active threads, but I don't think its a good idea restricting them to Post only on ur Threads". Wouldn't that have been much better?
But instead, u decided to call me out here on the Thread & made me look like the bad guy here. For people who are in a position of authority, that is really irresponsible & very poor handling of the situation. I want to express my strong displeasure against that.
I'm really sorry guys, if anything comes out wrong, but I've always earned everything I've got, by working hard for it, so if anyone questions my honesty, integrity & work ethics, that wont go down well with me. That's all I got to say about this.
And Nica, Brendan, that thing I talked to u about was actually something I wanted to do here for Christmas, but I'm sorry guys, its off now. I don't feel like doing it any more.
