hi, tbh i don't think custardy was trying to ridicule glamrochick,
the way i read the post was that they just commented that the board was for comps,
depends which way you read the post i suppose
all i said on the thread was what i usually post if a post has been made in the comps board,
that i've pm'd a BG to have moved to comps disc & added the link for comps disc for the poster, so they can find the comp disc thread easier, here..

i hope you don't think i was being rude to them x[/QUO


I wasn,t referring to you at all ,and i agree it can be read into in a number of ways ,the way i read into it was that it was sarcastic ,bullying, ridicule,but im sure others took it in other ways.i personally have not been on here for long ,but soon picked up that some seem to think for whatever reason they are above others . Hopefully you don,t think that i was or am referring to you as i am not and maybe if i see something in future i disagree with ,my best action would be to pm the person or persons involved .

hey lovelies!

perhaps this has already been discussed but i have missed it - i have read the terms but they are vague so i want to call on your experience and opinions to see what you think! Hope you dont mind answering my questions

Instant wins:

If an '1000 GBP apple store credit' is being given away across all 4 sites is there 1 prize or 4?

If nobody generates the 'lucky sequence' is the prize still given away?

is there a time slot generated as the winning one? if so surely the prize will only be given away in the last few days before the comp closes therefore making time and effort spent in the weeks before pointless?

there is an option to 'tweet for an extra entry' but how can this apply to instant wins?

do you all pick numbers or lucky dip?

ive been doing these every day now for a few weeks and just wondered what others thoughts are? or perhaps you have first hand exp! any advice welcome.

Well i have voiced my opinion and will leave it there,obviously people have been using the site for a good while and will stay in their little groups where they can jump on whoever they want and then contradict themselves by doing the exact same thing that they have been voicing their annoyance to.Hey ho it,s a forum and certain people on forum,s do think that because they have been participating for a certain amount of time ,they can run their own version of rules to suit themselves when the mood takes,hopefully,as it is an open forum ,i am allowed my opinion and be able to voice it when i see something that i think clearly is not fair.

What have i said or done? Ive only answered your questions with what i thought was the reasons I have not been rude or commented on other threads, just this one.

thank you, think sometimes it's easy to misconstrue our typed words on forums have done it myself & had it done to me,
also think sometimes some of us do forget we were all new at one time gosh, i made more wrong posts/mistakes when first joined here that i care to remember
think some of us seem a bit 'blunter' than others as well so i'll try to remember to be a bit more gentle as well when replying,

Again i wasn,t aiming anything at you ,think i will just leave it here,ive voiced what i thought was my fair opinion and had me rant for the day.Sorry if you thought it was aimed at you,it certainly wasn,t ,as i put earlier ,in future I will pm the person or persons my disagreement is with so i dont unintentionally upset others,again im sorry if i have made you think my comments were aimed at you.

Every comp is different so I don't think there is a definitive answer to that, but those I have seen in the past are generally one prize over all of the competitions if I remember correctly.

If nobody generates the 'lucky sequence' is the prize still given away?

is there a time slot generated as the winning one? if so surely the prize will only be given away in the last few days before the comp closes therefore making time and effort spent in the weeks before pointless?

Only the promoters would be able to answer those.

Depends how much time I have, I've never won one of those either way.

I am going to be doing the quiz on smooth radio can anyone help please? in terms of what questions you were asked and has anyone from here won yet? all help appreciated xxxx:j

This should not be here and the OP knows it. It causes more work for the BG's and I fear one day that they will give up and then this board will have to be closed down.

dark_angel

is there any one?

I have no idea but good luck with it anyway
