TATA ZICA; Win two TATA Zica Cars, #TATA Zica Marathon
I am really amazed by the hard work some of you have put in. So many posts, really a marathon. I really wish all of you good luck. I participated in a marathon contest for the first time. Am learning so much from all that is being written on the forum. I could manage only 6 posts, 2 were rejected, 1 accepted and the fate of the rest awaits....:)....Over all it was a fun experience. I wish everyone here good luck.
I agree completely, please don't extend the dates!
This is not a contest!
It is a marathon :D
It will never make sense when we extend the dates.
Yes ,I too agree with Mr Arvind..contest extension will help in adding more posts! One week more please
do u know that there are 2589 posts till date and ppl are writing day and night without a break for 21 days .. and u want one more week of extension?
its not a single post contest where ppl still think on a large scale theme. its a marathon.
its like running 20kms and then saying, sorry finish line is extended further by 10 kms and so start running again
if u cant keep to the timeline, u shouldnt go and ask for extensions :)
Hope quality posts wins and all those quality posts dont go unnoticed among piled up quantity posts. Btw I admire the dedication of all those who are in race, its not easy job to write so many posts!!!
Please no extension. I am totally drained. Have reached the end of creativity. Day in and day out thinking of what to write next. This was one hell of a contest. Addictive and challenging!
Aila, people have written 90+ posts? Poor Lord Bernad Shaw!
Is this contest only for "scribble as much" or someone who writes 1-4 posts can also qualify.
[I dream about car everyday but kaha meri itni kismet oops itni quantity 
]
Contest extension will help all! Win-win situation for bloggers to reach the top 10 and Tata will get more publicity too!
Whose fault it is to start only now?
You were given more than 21 days to get started and start writing :) a lot of ppl including me literally have spent morning noon evening and night every single day to write about
unfair to even request for an extension to write and submit at the last minute.
could you extend this contest for some more days,I have just started a week ago and kept many in draft.Will publish on final day may be.
totally agree with DS :)
this is not any other contest which can even be thought of extending
Need an extension of the last date for submission... at least up to the end of this month, Renie. Was travelling and couldn't chase the front-runners. :)
even a 1 hr extension can create a big head ache for us :) huge stress actually to write atleast 2-3 blog posts a on creative topics
That will be similar to players being told that it is a T20 match at the start of a cricket match and when they are 225-9 in 19 overs (a match winning T20 score), suddenly being informed that it is a test match instead where 225-9 becomes a horrible score.
Not in favor of an extension for this one. In fact the submit button must disappear at exactly 12, not one second later.
Sorry Arvind, we won't be extending this one.... I don't think we can handle any more moderation! 
Total of 16 posts got rejected out of 51, I am not understanding the reason. Can you please help me out Renie. The contest rules don't clarify on whether posts can be linked to each other - all my posts are part of story, that's how its a reading marathon for my readers too.
each post should revolve around a keyword like impact or navigation. was it like that for every single post?
though its a part of the story, am afraid u should have centered it around that
Renie, I received a non approval mail today for one of my posts saying i have not embedded the links, i have clearly embedded the same links that i had hyperlinked for the ones approved earlier but dont understand why the post was rejected, can you please clarify
raise a ticket.
Okay. Now i got it... Thank you :)
I have posted 51, 4 got rejected, so that's why its not reflecting on the board I think. Simran I think that might be the same reason for you too. Pls check.
Yes, i have some rejections too. So this leadership board is for the posts which are approved only ??
Yes, from the past one week it is showing only the number of (approved + non-moderated) posts which is nothing but your total posts - rejected. Hope this makes things clear :)
Atulpriya, thanx for replying but i have posted 53 now but still no sign at leadership board. I have posted 50 before 50 was not last there. Confused!!!
Any rejections ? If No then it's strange :/
-Atul
thanks man. Yes very tough 20 days. constantly thinking what to write and that too to fill 500 words is certainly no easy stuff
I've submitted 50 posts but didn't see my name at leadership board. What is the criteria for getting there?
There is some issue with the leaderboard. When there are more than one person with same number of posts, the order isn't correct. I mean we don't know on what basis the ranks are decided if there are same number of posts ie. Alphabetical, time/order of posting etc. we aren't yet clear about it.
4 posts out of 9 still remaining to be moderated. I had submitted it on the first day of contest maybe thats why its taking time. Tooo many posts on top of it
they have 2845 posts total to be moderated. so ur turn will come :)
