    Part of the Furniture 10,000 Posts I've been Money Tipped!
    just done some comps there and it was sooooooo slow! managed to get it to work, just talk ages

    So, you're the culprit!!!:p:p:rotfl::rotfl:
    It is a scientific fact that your body will not absorb calories if you take it from another person's plate.
    :A :A :A
    Chocolate is the answer and I don't give a damn what
    the question is.;)
  • that psp is annoying me lol !! If it werent for that I would be winning the weekly !! I wouldnt mind so much if they were genuine tweets but a lot of them arent. Ahhh well, will list the camera again for next week but suspect theres no point till this cheating business is sorted. I gave the psp a good run for its money as well, I bet they were worried for a bit, hence the extra new accounts that have been set up !!! Can only hope scramble deal with it.
    Thanks to all posters and contributers :beer:

    My Message.-
    COMPLAINT - I have noted so much cheating on this great Scramble idea but feel the rules are greatly inadeqate to say the least, allowing for gross cheating which will have a negative effect on what you want to achieve.

    I feel that here should be a 6 month rule as per most radio stations, that a winner (IP address) cannot win again for six months. Please respond as I feel I have a just complaint.
  • Yay... well done to Tony and Den... hope you have fun sharpening your pencils !! rofpmsl !!

    Cis, yes there is cheating going on on scramble, think they are aware of it but as yet to act on it. Personally I think asking your friends to vote for your item is quite within the spirit of the thing. I have posted on my facebook to get my friends to vote for example. However vote rigging should not be allowed and also setting up multiple twitter accounts should not be allowed either. I think on the monthly and weekly comps then a limit on wins within a certain timeframe might make it fairer. Not sure about the daily though, its only £20. Radio stations only impose the 6 month rule above a certain prize value.

  • I think a winner of a major prize (weekly or monthly) shouldn't be able to win for say 6 months but perhaps a lesser amount of time for daily winners?

    P.S Put my Vera Wang set on again tonight, it really is nice perfume xx

    Claire. the asking for votes thing is the norm,, sad tho if your good but not popular or know lots of peeps. acceptable tho. Its the IP addies that need to be addressed. if you win cant win for six months must be IP related, therefore, multiple IPs should be weeded out. Two addies per ID is acceptable, Like me and DH but multiple should be stopped. Also agree that it has to be big prize related. the £20 one excluded. xxxxxxxxx

    Maybe one minor prize per month would be fair...
  • I've just had to rescue our stupid dog from the beach,
    Hubby took him for a walk about 2 hours ago.
    Then got a phone call from a lovely lady saying she was on the front, with Buster, but no hubby. I found her (she was only 5 minutes walk away) and she said she hadn't seen my husband. I said, oh don't worry, I've got the dog:rotfl:
    But then found hubby 10 minutes later. (Damn!)

    The dog had carried on playing with some other family, whilst my hubby carried on walking the other way.
    I blame hubby really for walking off without checking Buster was following him:rolleyes:

    Poor Buster has been banished to his bed for the night by hubby now.:rolleyes:

    :T glad you got him ok Ginger xx
    Just back into comping past few months to help me get over rubbish in life.... won Hotpoint fridge freezer, soda stream
