Does the entry have to be public for the contest, or can it be friends-only?

I would also like an answer to this!

We're looking at public responses for this giveaway.

Too bad. Having been stalked online, I very rarely, if ever, post a public response.

I get the point - as a private or FO post doesn't really get the message out the way it's intended, but for some of us (like me, who has been cyber-stalked more than once, even by my own FAMILY), a public post is simply out of the question.

I agree I have also had various cyber-stalkers over the years, mostly mere web-annoyances but one hunting down personal offline information and becoming real-world stalker as well.

*points up* This. :/

I'd really like to see a response to this - if it's for bullying awareness, perhaps this raises awareness that some of us have been bullied with our public posts used for material, or bullied on the posts themselves.

I understand where you're coming from. Upon further review, we will accept FO submissions. My apologies for creating confusion here.

*hugs* I understand completely. My bully is also family. It's a betrayal in a terrible sense - when the people to whom we are supposed to be able to turn are the ones from whom we need protection.

Upon further review, we will accept FO submissions. My apologies for creating confusion here.

How can you see them...?

Thank you for reconsidering. I was going to reply with my reasons, but I see that others have said it more eloquently.

Just curious, how can you choose a post if it's protected? Don't get me wrong, this pleases me as I'd rather mine protected; at the moment it isn't but I shall now go back and change it. :)
