Are Scooter taking their fans into consideration anymore ?

It makes me very sad to answer that I feel not and I hope that when they meet the winner they do know what he / she posted to gain the prize

Also just had a look at people subscribed, I don't think many of them are actively engaged - I mean I am number 33, and have not posted anything for this contest, that position is just on normal and previous posts (except for about 15 points yesterday during our experiment with a different fanrank that earned me unintentional points on the Scooter Official contest!! ), I would guess 20 or less are actively engaged

i guess we will never agree on this one - because i feel that someone who posted some of those comments (drunk or not) should not be rewarded - i and hope the band are very well aware of some of them (which i guess they are as there are a sample posted on Scooter official) - maybe I am over sensative - but i would not dream of saything those things to someone i really didn't like, let alone someone i want to meet.

The guy in position number 2 seems to have got there without resorting to that sort of thing though. I agree it would be good if someone who has not met them before wins, i said that from the start - and while I have quite strong feelings about the whole competition and using an incomplete beta version of the software that's another issue. I am sure that a lot of what you posted was certainly not what the organisers had in mind at the start of this and like it or not a lot of fans have also read some of the comments. If it hadn't been for that I would have been very happy for you if you had won, as I would for any of the others, its great to get the chance to meet the guys, especially if its long ben a dream or ambition.

I guess i am getting wound up because I have a lot of respect for the guys , and i do hope you are right that they did not have much input to this, or were not aware of the work still to be done on the app

...and of course you can express your views here, I might not like what you do but I wont delete your comments here because I don't like it, so don't worry about that
You are quite free to express you views here as long as you don't insult band on a personal level (as opposed to making a constructive comment about what they do) or attack another fan on a personal level

Yes, the fanrank app has key stuff not implemented yet so there is virtually no control, when that's in place it might be better,
Personally I think it is also an insult to the 100s of loyal fans who have actively supported Scooter over the years - ignore these people, or ask them to spam to prove something.
There are not many taking place either, I am in position 30, and I haven't made more than 20 posts, most of which I deleted almost as soon as I made them when I was playing about looking at the app, and until yesterday I had never tweeted in my life, so my score is very low. It's caused fans block each other on Facebook, and arguments between fans who otherwise would have enjoyed each others company at a concert, had a few drinks together and generally had fun, now there is some real bad feeling, I personally hope I never meet anyone who calls me a bitc.h troll in the name of this competition.
You might say it's just for fun, but without the controls in the app it could do a lot for harm than good

Looks like the app is very new and in development - the beta was only launched 2 and half weeks ago, looks like they are going to try to reduce the spam in the futire:

And of course, as with any high visibility product involving high stakes (a trip to Ibiza, a chance to meet your favorite artist…) we’ve also seen our share of criticism and we’ve taken your feedback to heart. We’re going to be releasing key product updates in the coming weeks to make Fanrank the best possible experience for everyone involved:

Anti-spam: We’re already heavily discouraging spam by barely rewarding messages with no comments/likes or retweets, but still some of you have been tweeting non-stop to get your points up while others have seen their twitter feed inundated with repetitive messages.

Well this is all about to stop. Soon fans will only be able to earn points for tweeting and posting keywords once every 6 hours. This means each keyword can only be used once on facebook and once on twitter every 6 hours. Sure you can still talk about your favorite artists all you want, we just want you to keep it relevant ;-)

That should cut down on some of the cr.ap - but I guess those who have been able to tweet endlessly before this change comes will have an untouchable lead

seems Scooter fans are gimps, retards, trolls and bitches (according to #1) and another weakness of the app that should be investigated is that it appears that you can post whatever you like, then delete it and keep your points - I'm afraid one guy is making a total mockery of this, which I guess is why so few fans are bothering any longer - I'm number 9 and only made a few posts to try certain "features"

Be interesting to see what he says to us if we meet - or if he is only happy to say it on the internet

Maddy, he was refering to more people than just you - anyone who critises his early posts insulting the band, in fact any body who doesn't like the way he has behaved since this started - insults to band, fans, deleting posts.
There was one comment in particualr he made about a fan that was inexcusable - and he used her name in it

Hmmmm....hiding behind,
you know the sad thing is he really thinks he is something special, I just find that so amusing, and kind of sad in a grown man, thank goodness my sons grew out of that sort of behaviour when they were about 10, and I think most people only say things like "xxxxx smells of poo" in their primary school years - if wasn't for the total farce of possibly rewarding someone for behaving in an insulting, childish way it would just be too pathetic to acknowledge,would actually be interesting to meet someone like this though, never come across someone who says that sort of things once their age is into double figures. Guess one good thing if he does win VIP is that he will probably in the seating area well away from me, I feel angry and offended by him, but mostly I feel pity

There's nothing more to say...
