I hope GOG has an easy way to disqualify them :)

Here is one example (post others if you find them)

Lexor, it could possibly be a case of the servers being overloaded when they posted the first time, and then when they were back up, they didn't know that their request had gone through and reposted something else. Of course, I might just be being naïve.

The second post you're linking to - #1403 - is not the same user as the other two. Same avatar, but different names.
Unless you have other reasons to suspect cheating on that one, I'd suggest you remove that link.

Yup, happened before, and all over the place when such big 'n generous phases start.

I'v posted twice (both fails) and nothing has shown up 10 pages later. If they happen to suddenly appear I certainly didn't do it on purpose.

Indeed 1403 was wrong, sorry. But 1381 is right :) 1st post edited.

I noticed this before server overload. Also if this is the case why different wish every time?

Paranoid posting. The game is rejected so you try another one. Funny only posts I make go through in this thread.

Still it's kind of cheating - in case if GOG don't have an easy way to eliminate such additional entry this user have "a little" bigger chance than others.

Which is why I keep noting that heir web development department should just create something for these contests. Looks a lot more professional, works way easier and avoids cheating completely.
But hey, that might be only me :/

If they don't eliminate additional entries doesn't that mean everyone could enter multiple times, thus making any advantage such users have open to anyone? Not condoning it mind you, just pointing this out.

No, it's not. The multiple posts are happening because GOG's severs haven't got enough capacity, so it's GOG's responsibility, not the user's.

I've checked the last 30 pages and only posting a fourth time put an entry in finally. There shouldn't be posts hanging around now if the servers can now handle the load.

Found another entry of the same user way back in topic - 1st post edited.
