  • When dupes are being merged, are the duplicates being deleted? This is an example I have just found http://forum.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=2903654
    The Dupe link takes me back to the same OP. I came across another one similar earlier

    I assume the OP of a dup can delete their post once it has been merged and is no longer a "thread starter". That is presumably what has happened here as the other 2 posts from the dup remain and have been added to the original thread, if dup threads were just being deleted they would have gone as well.

    I'd say you are right mjm3346.I have commented on members doing this in the past & voiced my concern.All the members that have entered via the deleted post run the risk of entering again.
    Maybe some people wish to cover their tracks when they have posted a dupe.
    Whilst not been pleased when I have posted a dupe I have never deleted the link.I "kill" the link & add "DUPE " to the title to warn others.
  • This was the reason I brought it up weeowen. I am very far behind on the board atm but have no way of checking if I've already entered via the dupe.

    Goodness, how on earth have you managed to be so lucky? Well done though, fab wins :j. I haven't had any luck with the Mirror comp yet :wall:. Still forever hopeful though, but probably end up with a huge phone bill!
