Help. Lodestone Au Ra contest

Hi there, first time posting on the official forums. Hope this is actually somewhere relevant where this thread needs to be since literally every other category didn't fit and community contests have their own thing alongside the Au Ra creation contest not having one in the first place.

Anyways thing is that I technically entered the “My FFXIV Au Ra Twitter Campaign” contest on presented on the lodestone front page eight days ago. I made every sure everything was in order with triple checking the format of the tweet as well as of course making said tweet before the contest deadline.

The tweet did not present itself to the MyFFXIVAu_Ra hashtag in any way by selecting "view all" or even searching my handle or related keywords such as my server Cactuar with the hashtag. My account was of course made that night so I dont know if its twitter's fault or not.

Eight days later of trying the wrong support for SE and finally being told to make a thread here on the official forums is the way to make sure ANYONE from the community team comes into contact with me here I am.

---------------
I must say though that my objective here at base is to hope to get some sort of response clarifying my circumstances from hopefully a person of authority and not necessarily a positive one if need be.

I would rather take a "No you didn't win or make it in stop asking" than to wonder for the rest of my XIV life finally paying that 10 dollars for a fantasia in memory of my Au Ra come Heavensward then using said bottle for my tears and some time later i'll have my own personal raid food salt shaker.

Everyone who has made it this far into the post is free to inspect the tweet I made for flaws explaining my debacle or as to be curious enough what kind of Au Ra was created for me to care this much.

im not that familiar with twitter but maybe you cannot see your own posts in the tags intentionally on twitters part? im just speculating here though hopefully someone more familiar with it can give you a hand

I can't really help you with this but I figured I would let you know I had the same problem.

I made an account specifically just to tweet for that Au Ra contest a couple days after they announced it.

I posted the tweet but could not find it in the hashtag. I tried deleting and reposting a couple of times but I never could see my own entry so I do not even know if it worked. I eventually just gave up.

after a bit of googling i found this!

Upon researching this, it appears Twitter has some kind of filtering in place. Given the enormity of Twitter their servers are not able to show all # results so they have a sort of relevancy or importance filter in place, particularly for heavily used #-tags.

Yeah mine disappeared as well. However, that's just the hash tags. Anything that is @someone will show up in that person or organization's feed, regardless of tags, so since you included the @FF_XIV_EN you should be fine.

They will make an official announcement on the login page when the winners have been picked.

Greetings Veylind,

Don't fret! While Twitter may not show all the hashtag results in their searches, we do have access to more information that allows us to see tweets that were directed at us! :)
