    If you look down the page you will see it was drawn 14/03 - and a bit further up you'll see the page having a moan about a "comper" lol

    Does that mean if your a comper then you might as well not enter Facebook comps?
    What gives them the right to disqualify you for that?
    Facebook apps are the safest way to enter as they take this away from the host and ensure rules are upheld.

    It says people who use facebook for comping don't add any value to the community and have been disqualified. Well if you are entering a competition its called comping duhhh !!! Seems a bit ironic

    We've had the same argument over and over again with numerous pages on there! A comper is someone who enters a competition - whether it be one or a million :o

    I'm very surprised there wasn't a backlash after their comment, most of the times there are - you'll see so many people kick off over a statement like that! Some companies don't realise how much a dedicated comper can help their business get the advertisement and sometimes even the sales! Oh well, their loss :cool:
    Thanks to all posters :A

    I commented on their post saying that compers actually entering their competitions is actually raising awareness of their business. Less people would have known about them, otherwise.

    They couldn't have been moaning about us because we didn't know about the comp back then, I don't know how we missed that one ;)
