The post itself seemed to indicate as long as it was not forcing people to make a journal for entry it'd be okay, but we'll have to see exactly what comes out in the new ToS.
That and you can always circumvent that by having the entries done via a note instead of comments, the list of contestants would then be put on a system offsite...say a Google Drive spreadsheet that is view-able by the public but only editable by the owner. With that you can easily do a stream with a random number generator and say the winner is #4563... the put in a cell =A4563 and done. The winner shows up for you automatically.
Much more efficient for the contest runner that way then using the comment sections, no matter what site.
