    Not always after the competition has ended.

    But why would you be interested after the comp has ended?

    Because on one occasion I won a competition the prize didn't appear to include everything I was expecting and the T&C had gone from the website.

    Here is one that I think I posted at the beginning of this very thread.

    Why why can people not read what has been posted above? For example in the thread below, the answer has now been posted three times!! Extremely annoying

    If you had won :-)

    I have referred back to posted T&Cs a few times after a win.

    Very useful on holiday wins or multi-element wins as it ensures your eventual prize is as described.
    If the terms link is dead on the 'net after the comp has closed this cannot be done.

    But you are repeating post #23 for no apparent reason other than being sarcastic:cool:and embarrassing another poster

    Nope, I am repeating to tell the person(s) as if you do not tell people how do they know/learn?

    Plus I also tried to do it in a polite way (with the smilie and not sarcastically) and I also posted whilst the thread was bumped at the top.

    Ok hugs because I'm sensing a bit of pent up anger/resentment here.

    Threads do get deleted and sometimes it's hard to work out why but thats forums for you.

    Just accept the internet has different rules from life and there are still more asreholes than nice people. Smile roll your eyes and move on...

    ps pointing out poor grammar helps sometimes or perhaps thats just me.

    That and the rudeness of some posters, what has happened to good old fashioned politeness?

    There is no excuse for posting red in bold in capitals; it's like spitting in somebodies face.
