List of sites blacklisting MSE.

Just wondering if anybody knows or is aware of sites that may now be blacklisting entrees from MSE?
I'm aware that you can't enter That's life or Take a break (unsure which) via links in MSE but is there any more or ones you have a feeling they may be blocking us?

  • just a few things

    how would they know if an individual follows a link from MSE? (i run AVG do not track)

    Why would they care? surely most are concerned about more entries - ie more entries the more people saw and were exposed to the product - which is the point of comps isnt it?

    and in the end how many companies would even bother to try and sift through to try and find anyone who followed a link from here (or any other comp site)

    maybe some magazines have a small point in that they want magazine sales...(however if thats the case they should restrict entries with a proof of purchase for example)

    i just really cant see too many companies bothering to blacklist us

    there was one company recently who complained that their comp had been shown on here - but the answer in the post was wrong so they identified entries that way.
    there is a list of companies who don't want their comps listed on here

  • Most companies dont care as its more numbers for them/ emailing lists. The ones that do tend to be the ones that ask you to find an answer on the promoters website as if the answer is on here noone is clicking through to them which is what the promoter is after at the end of the day.
