I think my pet hate for today is finally thinking of a witty comeback to a post only to find the thread has been locked and I can't post.

You snooze, you lose... :cool:

i would love to know why some threads get locked and some get deleted altogether

I think BGs can lock threads, so sometimes they get locked and then the forum team delete them.

Otherwise, I think they get locked, if the question at the beginning of the thread is thought of as 'answered', especially when something that has the potential for further debate / to turn controversial!

Will edit once I think of a better repost.

Hmmm. Riposte or retort. Definitely not repost. Following the guidelines of an earlier post of yours, I guess I will have to report you;):p:cool:

At the moment it's people who attach themselves leech-like to my twitter feed and retweet EVERYTHING I tweet. Since my twitter feed is mostly rafflecopter daily tweets they're wasting their time anyway if they haven't 'used the correct form'

I never thought I'd block anyone from following me but one or two have been blocked recently for following a little too closely on my heels.

Okay they can still check out my feed but at least I won't see they've retweeted 40 of my rafflecopter entries in the last 5 minutes.

At one point I emailed and explained they needed to enter on the rafflecopter or it wouldn't count but got snappy responses so I leave them to it now. Grr.

I've had this a lot too lately, I think its a mix of people being click happy and just tweeting everything in the hope they win and people with bots set up to automatically retweet anything that mentions win, giveaway etc

I hate blog comps where you have to follow them using 100 different methods - Bloglovin, G+, Facebook etc. I don't mind following them 1 way but I don't see why getting the same blog post 4 different ways is gonna make me any more likely to read it.

Oh and I hate comps where you have to say why you'd like to win the prize. It's always filled with sob stories that are a load of bull
