Competitions (NO ASKING FOR VOTES)

CherrySue

I've noticed some people respond to their alter ego on threads and competitions too. Keyser Soze has nothing on some of 'em

Agree though that a certain group of people will begin to recognise each other, become friendly and tag each other when a new competition comes up.

I would think that some of these folks have rooms full of prizes that really don't mean anything to them. It's the thrill of the win, I guess.

(Sorry for hijacking the thread)(Will keep schtum about it now)

HA! You should call them out if you see them responding to their alter ego, that is really effed up, or block them. I will be keeping an eye out for these weirdos

I seen a kid enter loads of times with different variants of his name up, guess what? He won the iPad.

Wow, well there you go, it pays to cheat and lie

If anyone suspects any blatant messing about like this PM the page owner and let them know. I know if i was generous enough to be giving away an ipad i would want somebody decent to have it, or at least somebody winning it fairly. I remember something like this happening on one of the Beauty pages during the 12 days of Christmas giveaways. They discovered afterwards that one of the winners had made an alias, or something like that. It was too late by then as the prize had been posted.

Sorry too for hijacking but i think it's good to be aware of these things. Happy comping

Sorry but some of us are genuine people who break one simple law of entering comps [*GASP* how could we do such a terrible cruel thing?!!...Get a life!] I'm addicted to winning things- but i want em all in the comps i enter. If i didn't i'd give them to someone who did want them. I add a few other compers too so i can discover new competitions. There's nothing wrong with it like - like HOW the f**k am i doing anything wrong?! I'm promoting the businesses by entering the comps so they wouldn't care. I do have an extra page yeah - but so would ye if ye constantly entered competitions and people were complaining about their news feed being full of your updates. Do me a favour and mind yer own f***ing business!!


Sorry about the aggro but i dont approve of how ye accuse people of doing wrong when they're not...

Ill agree with you there.... Theres some people who will change their facebook names when facebook announce a prize and claim it as their own - even though they haven't entered. (Happened me..) I think facebook should tag their winners when they're announced..

WTF? Calm down and discuss things in a rational and mature manner. Nobody was accusing YOU of anything. Nobody is talking about people who make a separate page using the SAME name (while still entering only once)so as not to spam their friends. Read properly!

Ill agree with you there.... Theres some people who will change their facebook names when facebook announce a prize and claim it as their own - even though they haven't entered. (Happened me..) I think facebook should tag their winners when they're announced..

And then you follow it with this which is EXACTLY what we are talking about!

Addicted to competitions? more like you're greedy, just enter a competition once like a normal person. The only reason for you to enter a competition for something you don't even want is just greed.

Let's keep this thread on topic. This is generally a friendly, supportive thread, where people celebrate each other's wins and post competitions in a spirit of friendliness

Funny you should say that as I am a longer standing member here and you've just joined. I would happily Congratulate you if you had won fairly.

I don't think it's great. People could have bots and that entering thousands of times.

A few concert ticket comps here - Guns n Roses & brian Kennedy etc

FREE to enter

Jaybee

How do you guys search for your comps?

Here are few words I use in google.ie to search

'Competition to win'
'Win a weekend'
'Win Goodies'
'Competition Closes'
'Win tickets to'
'Win Beauty'
'win holiday'
'Great giveaway'
'win voucher'
'win one4all'

I then narrow it down to Ireland only pages and 'posted in the last week'

So share your tips if you have any !!

Yonge Street

When I find a great competition I don't tell anyone so I have a better chance of winning. I still enter all the competitions that you post up here though Keep 'em coming folks

Really, well best of luck with your future comps :rolleyes:

I can never find comps really, I only ever enter some. I use whats here and on Entertainment.ie and thats about it. Sometimes enter radio comps, Radio nova normally. I never really have much luck in them.
