E: 24/12 Win a holiday to Barbados - Daily entry (effort)

reniannen

Leocan I appreciate you wanting to share, most of us here would love to, but the site has specifically asked that we don't post the answers on the internet, as I've highlighted in the first post. It's up to you whether you delete your post, but I wouldn't want you getting disqualified if there's a way of them telling which entry is yours As I've said though I don't really know how they will police it, or how strict they will be

Although I havn't been a member of MSE as long as reniannen but longer than Ernie Butt a common thread exists on this board. Everyone contributes where they can, freely of their own time to assist others who, although they havn't met, there is a kinship and understanding that exists in this virtual community. Who am I to go against the grain. Regardless of being disqualified the issue is to continue in this vein and not let others dictate the right to have freedom of speech. I may not win this comp but I'm happy in the knowledge that I have made a small contribution to 'pay it forward for all the OP's who have offered me advice and generously given their links and answers. No post will be deleted and lets see how clever we can all be collectively in future;0)

I know and that's why I love this forum and happily contribute all I can, as anyone here will know. However for the benefit of everyone I also prefer to respect when a website wants us to not post answers, as they are the ones offering the prize, and it's in their interest that people are looking round their website. Upsetting the websites offering prizes doesn't do anyone any good imho, as it means they might be less likely to offer prizes as a method of promotion in future or in extreme cases may decide to pull a comp.

In saying that I doubt it will happen in this case as they've already put measures in place that mean you have to go through the website to submit and can't bypass any of the clues.

Rule? I think it was a word of advice?

I have no problem with the answers being posted here, but also understand that we should respect the wishes of the promoter.

I'm not sure how they will police it.

I have been to this hotel several times now and it's Ok

Hope someone from here wins it

Good luck

Please don't think I'm being incredulous but once we agree to this empty threat, 'loose lips sink ships' other comp organisers will follow in a similar vein changing the dynamics of this forum. As most Op's agree today's was relatively easy but I spent considerable time trying to work it out using search engines, not searching via the organisers site, therefore arguably if more people have access to the answers there will be more activity on the organisers website and more OP's entering. Although this reduces our chances of winning, 'if its for you it'll not pass you by'. Good luck everyone:0)

I thought it was much more fun to have extra clues than the answers.:(

I agree that the answers should not be posted in this particular case as it's an amazing prize & it would be lovely for one of us to win it but not so nice if they did pull the comp because someone refuses to adhere to the promoter's wishes. However if anyone is struggling to complete a day's questions people such as Basehex & myself are willing to help if you wish to PM us or we can try to help out as we have been doing by giving other little clues. It IS much more fun if you can figure it out yourself & it is also fun if we can help a fellow MSEer to reach the answer with a little push in the right direction. Thanks to everyone who helps with the little hints but PLEASE NO ANSWERS! Thanks x
