while Im on a grumbling spree, what about the people that enter for things they cant use and post saying I won but cant use it/dont need it etc does anyone want it. (and also often its a newbie who never heard of that jumps in for the freebie:D)

WHAT, you won something, you cant make it??
I'll take it off your hands, I usually lurk but today as there was so many people offering prizes they couldnt make it too, I'll take them all (Maybe can list on ebay if i cant use em myself, takes em of your hands, lmao)

That is so true. Also, it is nice if winners try to find the OP to thank rather than just say "whoever posted"! Not always possible, I know, but I'm sure a lot of winners don't even try to find the original comp.

Just my two penneth!!

Sorry to jump in, but the other day there was a comp where 5 WEEKS after it was posted and just 10 days before it closed, someone else posted the whole of the Ts & Cs. Why for heaven's sake?

I hate it when people say they have been floating around the boards for a while and have won this and that...you can bet your life it's probably only their first or second post and they have made no effort to thank the comp posters :mad:

but what about the comps for skykids littleholly posts: they are hard sometimes
I have had
How many legs does a horse have - 3, 6 or 4
what is 2 + 1
and where does a horse sleep - a stabel, a pigsty, or a kennel
I am really greatful when the answers are posted aswell:rotfl::rolleyes:

:rotfl: You know what, when I first started posting the sky kids comps I never put the answers cos they're so easy but someone came along and asked what the answers where cos they didn't know! :eek: :rolleyes: Thats why I put them on now! :rotfl:

I did post part of a T&C a few days ago and bumped as a result, but that was cause the prize was only available on 2 and very close dates.

and it still seems to take an army to say whether a comp is/isn't working

Is it only me that thinks it's totally unecessary to put the whole T&Cs for comps on here (on someone elses threads) ? - surely if people want to enter they can go to the site to check the finer details

Glad this has come up, I thought I was doing something wrong, have posted a couple of comps recently and a few minutes later someone has posted full t + c's, didn't think it was necessary as they are huge and on comp page anyway.
