Stop running new contests until you announce the winners of the last ones you ran on IdeaStorm.

On the right side of IdeaStorm I see IdeaStorm's hyping up yet another Dell contest.
 yet another ideastorm contest

Yet last time Dell ran a contest on IdeaStorm, they still haven't announce who won or which charities got the $1000 prizes that Dell mentioned.

How about you stop running new contests until you straighten up the previous ones you ran.  Otherwise how can we have confidence that the $50000 won't end up the same place the prizes from the previous IdeaStorm contest seem to have ended up.

     What does his profile have to do with this idea?  Dell held a contest and never paid out as promised.  The prizes weren't going to users, they were going to charity.  Posting here isn't a contest or a way to make money.  Many people came here to help Dell because they are customers who wanted to see the company improve.  We followed though on our end, Dell, not so much.

    What's wrong jmxz, all that commenting and no reward other than points?  Do you spend $5/day on lottery tickets, too?  Or do perhaps your points here, along with your video game high scores, assuage your disappointment?  <LOL>  Hopefully you're at least a paid employee.  Or someone with some influence in the shareholders' mtg.  Or are you betting that this will pay off sooner?  (It probably will.)  No need to answer.  I just viewed your profile to see who was slamming others' comments so viciously.  Thanks for the laughs.

     The past winners of the "Dream" contest are included, noting both the contributors and their ideas.
