Free TV competition entries

So, there are plenty of threads on how to mine online competitions for more of a chance to win, but what about if you are someone that hosts these kinds of competitions and wish to reduce the amount of people that make dummy accounts (next to no friends and a post feed exclusively of sharing competitions) that clog up your…
