Awful looking designs for silly prices. Not impressed by their offerings.

You can, simply don't click on them, just like you wouldn't on any particular news item or story that doesn't interest you.

Agreed. With all of the websites these days that are able to conduct giveaways globally it just feeling like Macrumors is mocking its international readers with these things.

Are you similarly upset that you can't play the lottery in another country that you don't live in? That should be even more upsetting since there's so much more you could potentially be losing out on.

Lmao! Best response ever. Like seriously if you're not interested then don't click on it. Move along, it's that easy.

The lottery in one country is targeted at just that one country. MacRumors is targeted at more than just the U.S.

Just because it's accessible worldwide and allows worldwide users doesn't mean everything has to be worldwide. BBC also allows worldwide users bur it's still focused on and primarily relates to UK. I mean English is used as the language of the site, should it be available in every language and have people posting in the forums in any language by that logic. I mean sure utopia would be great in everything, but reality is reality.

Yeah, this particular giveaway for one. Care to be more specific with your question?

What? Lmao. This giveaway is not a global giveaway so it does not work as an example of forums global shipping giveaways like you said they exists as the new mode of operation of most.

The difference being this website exists globally. There are also lotteries in foreign countries I am able to purchase tickets in via this world wide superhighway kerjigger you might have heard of.

And then there are also those that you aren't able to. Think of this in a similar fashion. Such is the simple reality.

I've had great customer service from them actually. Only this week they replaced an iphone case no questions asked about 6 months after buying it.

You must have gotten unlucky.
