* You must follow Bungie’s Code Of Conduct (failure to do so will result in immediate disqualification)
Ironically, this thread violates the Code of Conduct, as the CoC requires you to follow the Bungie.net Terms of Use. The ToU state that, "you agree that when using a Communication Service [defined as bulletin board services, chat areas, news groups, forums, communities, personal web pages, calendars, and/or other message or communication facilities], you will not: Conduct or forward surveys, contests, pyramid schemes or chain letters." (emphasis added)
Sorry to point this out. I'm sure that if the web team sanctions it then you're fine, though.
That's what is known as a CYA clause. The letter of the law is purposely broad, so as to keep Bungie out of trouble on certain things. However, the "Contests" that the Terms of Use really refers to is off site originating contests, things designed to generate traffic on other sites and whatnot.
Bungie has allowed contests like this to happen in the past, and for a couple it has even donated prizes (Check the Community Resources thread on this forum for a few examples. I plan on a contest of my own later this year, and I believe True Underdog has one in the brainstorming stage.
Contests that originate with this community, that are geared for this community, are acceptable as far as I understand it, and nobody has told me different.
