Competitions Discussion Thread Part 11

cornishpasty1

I wonder if someone can help me; I wanted to check site to see if it is on our spammy site list but I can't find it. Could someone please point me in the right direction, and if anyone else (on the boards) is looking at this, is there any chance we could have a spam site list thread all of its own, and I for one could keep it on my desktop.

11 Are there any sites, from experience, which are likely to generate lots of spam?
There are a few which have come to our collective attention as sites that, when used for comps, seem to generate lots of unwanted postal, email & phone call attention. These are listed below for your information, however, please do remember that this is only the collective opinion of other MSE Compers & does not necessarily reflect upon the sites themselves.

Number 11 here: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=12237989&postcount=7

It's just in the main comping guide https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/1014121

As far as i'm aware there is only one which is the one that's a sticky on the main board.

Thanks to VelvetGlove Here Post 11 who originally posted this, but having found it difficult to find easily, I thought I'd post it independently (I hope you don't mind). I don't know how, or if I can, make this post a sticky, but if one of the board members could do that it would be helpful.

Velvet Glove's Comping Guide, of which this is part, actually is already a sticky on the front page of the forum.

I know, but it's such a large thread I hadn't found it, I thought this would make it easier to quick reference. I have pm'd VelvetGlove and if she wants me to take it off I will.

Think what cornishpasty1 is saying is that this is hard to find within the comping guide if you didnt know where to look and think she would like it to have its own sticky which i think is a good idea as i have never read this part properly and i am signed up with a couple of the above but now intend to remove my details. Thanks cornishpasty1 :-)

Nice idea, but im sure i read that this board already has too many stickies, and they wouldnt be adding anymore - as its a good idea for everyone to read Velvet Gloves excellent guide (i know its long, but it is necessary to have all that info for successful comping/posting) it shouldnt be necessary to add this as a sticky - if you read the guide, you will know where it is.

There are lots of things i think should have stickies of their own, but anymore and the stickies would take over the first page completely.

I had an email this morning from a site and wanted to check it out. After having found out the information, it's not on the list but it does look spammy to me so haven't posted it. Thanks for your comments 6969annw, I appreciate it :A.
