    Competition threads like this one

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5097545

    Why keep on posting the codes? People aren't going to look there for codes if they want one they are there to enter the competition and then they will probably win a code of their own.
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.

    Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change
  • Scrolled back just to find this thread as this just annoyed me once again...

    When people use a Facebook comment competition to air their complaints about a brand's service...they do realise it's a competition post?! Surely they'd be far better off posting straight to the brand's page...

    Also, the people who then reply to said complaining comments with the comp answer/comment, instead of on the original posts...

    'Some people - stop going OTT on comp posts with the 'oooh pick me, pick me' and then giving a list of reasons why you should win'

    'I need to win this face cream because my legs fell off and I can't get out to see my daughter who's 16 months pregnant and her hubby just left her for a transvestite so it would really cheer her up to have this as a gift'

    Definitely my next FB story.
