Suggested Title Tags, to help people Enter Comps

a) Please mention Kids, age guidance, photos/purchase required, effort, email, text, postal, phone, newsletter sign up, etc in title if entry requires these.

b) Please mention FB, Twitter, Blog if the comp is hosted on these sites.

c) Please remember to add Daily, Weekly or Monthly when posting a comp with multiple prizes or entries. These also need to be linked with the relevant Sticky

E: 31/03 [Midnight] Win a [kids u12's / purchase req'd / effort / blog / weekly]

there's only so much information a field will allow, next people will be complaining they dont know what the prize is and will want that in the subject too :rotfl:

Comments like this are really appreciated, i hadn't thought of a title like that, lol, obviously you wouldn't use every tag for every comp... and some tags cancel each other out. But possibly we should mention about keeping Tags short and sweet.

I do wonder sometimes if we should just ask MSE to write us a Robo program that would just enter the comps for us when we are trying to making comping so easy

Just a quickie x I entered a FB comp ( but it's a VFM and I didn't realise :mad: ) anyway it's not on here ( i have searched , honest ) and I'm just checking if VFM's still go on the main board & how I would put the title ? Vote for me / effort / both ? You all know I'm easily confused lol and I don't want to get it wrong ! OR an experienced comp poster might want to post it for me ???
Any ideas guys ?

Given that some users become very disgruntled with 'bumping', why is 'Most Recently Commented View' the standard view rather than 'New Topic View'?

Mamzie

because the default view is set for MSE forums as a whole, and the Comps forum is a very small part of that.

sorry KT, I have only just realised that Vote for Me comps weren't supposed to go on here at all.

I was reading the MSE - Please read sticky to add bits missed off the possible guidelines and its point 7 on there.

Good Morning everyone!
Just wondered if there are any seasoned facebook compers who can help?! I have entered several fb comps recently where you have to comment on the wall of whatever comp it is with no problems. Today I have gone to comment- I like the page, then write a comment and press enter. when I go back to check it my comment has disappeared. I have waited half an hour and checked again and its still not there. I have done nothing different to usual! Please help!! thanks x
