Hi! I started doing comps about a month ago- really good fun. Am not too addicted (yet!!) Have managed to post some comps- I don't actively look for them, it's just ones I see on sites that I normally browse on. Have noticed that some serious compers post from certain sites regularly, eg-a particular magazine, and wondered: if it's usually the same person who posts comps from a site, is it best for a newcomer, like me, not to post, but to leave it to the comper who regularly does it? Like a kind of compers etiquette!! Hope that all makes sense.
Thanks to everyone for the brilliant comps. Haven't won anything yet, but it's early days!

obviously there are no set rules about that but generally i think it's polite to leave them to the regular poster. then maybe if after a day or so it hasnt been put up, you could. it saves people getting upset and saves duplicates. HTH. x

I think any forum etiquette we had went out the window as soon as the board got larger and larger. There are a fair few "serious compers" that post comps on a regular basis from certain sites ( I know I have a bout 20 sites bookmarked that I check twice daily) but if others find them first now its just seems to be a race to get them on the board as you can't keep checking the websites every 2 minutes of the day!


As iwanna said if you find something thats not on here and you can see its regularly posted by someone, maybe leave it to see if it gets put up. But there is no hard and fast rule about posting comps

Has anyone else had one of these in their Sky magazine? Lets share our winner's codes and work out who's won the million.

My text code os 80027 and the Cash Code is 10087564.

Haven't had mine yet, but shouldn't this be in the competitions board?

Possibly. I looked through to see which boards the previous threads on this theme were in and they were split 50/50. I decided to pick this one because either way I would be 50% wrong.

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.
