Competitions Discussion Thread Part 14

joe14729

I don,t know anything about freebieGB, but if I were you, I,d stick with this forum alone. Most of the comps end up on here anyway and the members tend to let each other know about dodgy websites or any other problems with comps

This should be in the sticky at the top of the board called 'Comps Discussion', you've posted on the comps board which is for comps only. It will be moved there if you're looking for it later.

Has anyone been on the More magazine on FB today? It seems that there are a few "annoyed" girls on there because the competitions are being advertised on here. Makes me wonder how she found it, and whether she entered any other competitions whilst she was here

A lot of them are chavvy teenagers...ignore!! They were getting all whiney yesterday because someone claimed to have won twice (a lie) and they accused More magazine of favouritism. It's all so childish.

And you make an excellent point there with your last sentence...;)

I've been entering the Cantbearsed site's weekly entry (this one) for an ipod for a little while but last week & again this week I got a "delivery status notification" to my email - as if I'd emailed the entry and it bounced. Has anyone else had this problem?

A number of Be Addictive comps have been posted today. It's worth noting that the site is owned by Addictive Interactive and they are Data Collectors.

Does anyone agree that it would be a good idea to ask Velvet Glove to add a Data Collectors sublist to her Spam list?

Are they known to cause problems? I did a search, earlier, and didn't find any cause for concern.

Hi, just wondered if anyone could help me with facebook comp info or if there is a thread someone could direct me to with info and instuctions! I have done a search but couldn't find what I was looking for. Basically I have not being entering the facebook comps as I do not have an account but have just set myself up with an account but I am not sure what to do next. I will only be using the account for entering competitions, do I need to have friends on there and how do I go about entering competitions through facebook if I see them on here? Sorry if I am sounding really dim, I just have no idea how it works, thanks!

I don't know if they cause problems as such. To me there's a difference between a company who want to sell you their products and so run competitions and companies who want to sell your data and so run competitions. I tend to avoid the latter and so like to know which is which. I was wondering if other people felt the same.
