    icon7.gif that particular mag is posted separate every month on the main board , the new ones aren't added to the old months so i'm afraid it would be a wate of time subscribing to the posting, only the puzzler comps & postals are ongoing ones icon7.gif hth x

    I bookmarked the comp before it was deleted, and have been entering on a daily basis

    seems I got my wires crossed when I made the post about self promotion

    I thought that once a comp had been deleted for self promotion the links could not be posted again because the links went on to a blacklist like the loveoffers comps :confused:
  • I think if you are a user that has already been posting for a while, you can repost it, as they know it's not self promotion.(I think):)

    No, some others that have been removed have been posted by other people before. Hope I haven't done anything wrong by posting it. :confused:

    No not at all, I'm glad that you have re-posted the comp :D

    It's just that I was under the impression that if a comp was removed for self promotion that if anyone tried to re-post the link again the link wouldn't work like love offers

    there are a few comps on mse where the sites appear to have been banned for self-promotion where you cannot post the full links I was just wondering why some can be re-posted and others seem to have a lifetime ban :confused:

    I think the ones who have !!!!!!!!! in the title are the sites which have been banned by mse - maybe due to complaints of spam etc or those which have a conflict of interest with this site?? (love offers has a tagline of The home of money saving deals, discounts & offers)

    Those that have been removed due to self promotion can be reposted by someone with no links to the site, as the site itself is ok, but not to be posted by someone who has a link to the site. iykwim.

    Have just recieved an e-mail from these people with all the other recipients e-mails copied in :mad:

    ie I can see the e-mail adresses of all the other subscribers (I recognise quite a few names off here)

    I have replied to them asking to be unsubscribed but in my view this is a clear breach of data protection.:mad::mad::mad:

    Have posted this on the main board so that more people will see it, although I fully expect it to be merged into the Discussion thread at a later time.
    Thanks to all who post comps :A :T

    Blimey that was quick!

    Have spoken to the Studio Manager who has apologised profusely for their error, but I'm not happy that my private e-mail should be "out there" :mad:
    Thanks to all who post comps :A :T
