    thanks to sweetie for this link:

    http://competitions.compsweb.co.uk/category/2010-04-april-2010/

    am fuming as i am sure they have copied my posts from the postals, i put some of the comps into my own words and they have copied that but cant flamin prove it, makes me so mad that i go to the effort of buying the papers/mags only for some idiot to copy them, not only from me but from others!

    better link for postals:

    http://competitions.compsweb.co.uk/tag/postcard-competitions/

    majority of those are ones that have been put on today from here!!!


    :( gosh, do you remember when lots of the comps/mags were being copied to a certain freebie site a while ago, some of them still are as got a mate who sends me the links & copied comps on there :( trouble is like you say, can't prove it, same with the puzzler/tab comps, a lot of them are copied from here to other sites, this site now is usually always the first up with any postals/ etc comps, makes me mad when i see them being copied :(
    couple of months ago saw one of my full house comps on a phone forum that also had comps on, exactly the same as i post on here, i joined it & said 'thank you' to them for copying my comps :mad: they never bothered replying but haven't since copied any more that i know of up to now, but thinking about it am going to check back on it :(

    don't blame you being angry,

    That's what I'm tempted to do. There's nowhere to contact them, think I may leave a comment on the posts and say something like that. I'm bubbling now, just so unfair and down right cheeky!!

    There is absolutely no dispute as far as I am concerned, they are posting the postal comps in the exact same order we're putting them on and 99% of them have the same wording!! It's just infuriating!! I think it's easily proven if you have a good look. Isn't there anything we can do? Surely it's plagiarism or something :rotfl:
