Does anyone think there is a non-annoying way of asking people to vote for you in a Facebook competition? There is this competition on facebook that requires others to vote for you, but I don't want to send messages to everyone, as I find it extremely annoying myself... so basically I don’t know what to do... I would like to have a chance at winning, but at the same time I don't want to be a hypocrite! Does anyone have any advice?

Bloody hell, pound a text/call and the number of calls some people seem to be making!! Am I missing something? Are you all making so much money from comps, or are you all rich? :eek:

Got to agree Al mac.Each to their own but I steer clear of the pay comps plus it appears some are really going for ths comp.Not for me.Plenty of others on here to keep me busy.

I'm the same, I've given myself a 50p limit for text comps, I enter once only and it has to be something I'd really want to win.

Spam list updated tonight folks. Active You added to the list, spotted by Lilias on the parent company's site:

This is from their parent company's website -
What is LeadBooster? It’s a lead generation data pool with millions of high performing records for marketers to use for their own direct marketing & email campaigns. It’s been developed by our business partner Database Group (DbG) who will now collate all the data from holidayyou.co.uk, activeyou.co.uk, claimjunction.com and mobilitycompare.co.uk into one lead generation datapool.
What makes LeadBooster unique is that DbG will take AJi’s data and add their own attributes to it. This will allow marketers to pulls extracts by lifestyle as well as location, interest and purchasing history. Added to this will be a unique web interface allowing marketers to create their own counts and pull off their own data sets (a ‘no hassle’ and bureaucracy-free zone). LeadBooster will be launched in September and we’ll disclose more details soon.


New list follows:

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.

:santa2: wonder whether someone can help me? I've just been asked if the dvd of Les Mis at the 02 was just a concert with the singing or was it actually the musical like in London? Thanks

TT send them this link and let them figure it out!

In October this year, the legendary musical "LES MISÉRABLES" will celebrate its 25th birthday by making theatrical history with an international first - three different productions in London at the same time. The Original Production at the Queen's Theatre, the New 25th Anniversary Production at the Barbican, London and now, stars in their multitudes will gather for a celebratory concert at The O2 on Sunday 3rd October at 7.00pm, when all three productions and many of the show's original cast will come together to celebrate this momentous occasion.

The 25th Anniversary concert at The O2 will host a company of over 300 actors and musicians, including Alfie Boe as ‘Jean Valjean', Nick Jonas as ‘Marius', Norm Lewis as ‘Javert', Matt Lucas as ‘Th!nardier', Lea Salonga as ‘Fantine', Jenny Galloway as ‘Madame Th!nardier', Camilla Kerslake as ‘Cosette' and the casts of the Original Production at the Queen's Theatre, the New 25th Anniversary Production at the Barbican, London and members of the Original 1985 London cast.
