    Sorry but this is just the sort of thing they are warning about here http://www.marketingweek.co.uk/news/isp-warning-on-fraudulent-online-competition/3003983.article If people keep trying to gain further entries using different identities the number of competitions online will drop dramatically.

    I was just asking, I haven't done it. Theres no harm in asking a question.

    Because you are breaking the rules.

    Looking at your posts on here and other sites you don't seem to be bothered by the rules, but as you are mass swapping it is not fair to let people who are entering codes for you and giving you half the money, be disqualified because you think it's ok.

    It clearly says the limit is per person. You dont become another person because you can prove you have had a bill at a different address.

    Strewth

    I didn't actually mean to click thanks on that:mad:

    You seem to be quite opinonated about all this.

    Firstly who made you judge and jury or any of the other stirrers that keep coming on with their little snide comments??

    This thread was actually quite funny until these numptys decided to start forcing their opinions upon us.

    I don't really give 2 hoots what you or your little cronys think, its really boring.

    And.........

    On that note I reckon you should go and get felt
    :j It doesn't get any better than this :j

    So by pointing out the rules so fellow compers don't get disqualified is being snide. The only people complaining about my posts are the ones breaking the rules.

    If you look at all my posts they have only been about being fair and following the rules. Unlike many others boasting about mass swapping and multiple wins, I haven't felt the need to delete any posts either.

    I also pointed out quite early on that I didn't have a problem with what you were doing, as if it backfired it would only be on you but now someone is encouraging others to break them too and thats wrong if they dont know the facts.

    I simply pointed out that it would be breaking the rules. If they want to go ahead fine.

    But that is their choice if they want to break the rules!!!
    I'm sure that they are well aware of the t and cs by now.
    There was blatant mass swapping and everyone letting others know when they had a winner before these new rules came into play.
    The posts that have been deleted if you looked back are the ones with the pictures sticking 2 fingers up at mcvities and probably the odd random ones from people just joining to stir things up and provoke speculation.
    We can all interpret them how we want at the end of the day and we could all sit here and argue right from wrong but it won't get us anywhere.
    All these opinions of yours are provoking reactions again and causing people unease.
    I came on last night and thought that the t and cs had been changed again because of all this how others are perceiving these rules.

    Its getting beyond a joke now.

    Either enter, let us know about your wins and we'll congratulate you or move on to something else.

    I don't see the need to keep coming back to a thread if its not really to congratulate others or tell us of a win. Its pretty pointless!!

    People have asked for help and I responded.

    Someone asked if they could use their name at another address, I said no it was breaking the rules and then someone else said what was the harm in it.

    The harm is that it breaks the rules and they could get disqualified.

    Instead of having a go at someone who posts the wrong information you have a go at me :confused:

    The newbies on here that came here for help and advice should ask themselves why someone who is telling them the facts is told to go away.
