    Hello

    Here's another easy to enter competition from The Culinary Guide. Only your name and email address required.

    It's to win a fantastic wine & food hamper from the Languedoc region

    http://www.theculinaryguide.co.uk/promotions/2009/1109/201109/win-a-fantastic-hamper-from-the-languedoc-region-competition/win-a-fantastic-hamper-from-the-languedoc-region-competition.htm

    Please note: If this competition has already been posted please don't feel the need to merge it because multiple entries for this will not be disqualified from the competition. You won't be disqualified if you enter more than once but only your first entry will register.

    Thanks and good luck.

    Baloobug - This is a duplicate of a post by Lakshmi7. I WILL ask for a merge. Can you either do a full search before posting, or STOP posting. You are creating extra work for the BG, myself (or any1 else who asks for a merge) and for the compers themselves. It is a total waste of their time and effort to click on a duplicated link, only to find out that they have already entered. It matters not a jot whether they will not be disqualified, it is just a waste of everyone's PRECIOUS TIME, MINE INCLUDED :) Thank you for listening.
    We could all learn a little something from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

    I only ever post comps myself once and, as I explained in this post and will do in every post from now on, USERS WILL NOT BE DISQUALIFIED FOR ENTERING THE COMPS I POST MORE THAN ONCE. There are people who don't want to or don't have the time to trawl through days or weeks of competitions so lots of new users will see and enter these competitions as a result of my posts. Please stop wasting your time merging and replying to my posts.

    Thanks

    Balobug,I think you are missing the point of what is being told to you.The way that you are advocating for this board to operate is not how it works & will ever work.
    We all seem to get by with just having one post per comp.If this is not to your liking why contribute or why not email MSE admin and have the policy changed.

    How completely selfish you are - the rules are to search before you post a comp, to stop duplicate competitions being posted.If it is a duplicate, whether you are disqualified or not, it has to be merged - and with these comps you are posting, ok, you wont be disqualified but your entry will not count - so this is wasting compers time and effort going into a post and/or entering a comp when they could be doing something else - i would say very few people who use this board have the time to waste in this way.
    Now, i have no idea why you think these rules do not apply to you, but they do. So everytime you post a comp without searching properly, then you are wasting not only your time, but compers, and board guides.
    Please, start thinking about other people rather than your self.

    What very odd behaviour! Pehaps this should go to abuse as this poster only seems to be posting from the same site. I suspect self-promotion, nevermind complete disregard for the site rules and etiquette.

    i was also wondering if it is their site perhaps we should just all press spam to baloobug posts :confused: or would that affect the other posts it would normally be merged into
