General view on here is that they are spammy & a waste of time.
They are usually not posted on here.Just stick with the posted comps on here.That way you can keep track of what you've entered as well :-)0 -

11 Are there any sites, from experience, which are likely to generate lots of spam?
There are a few which have come to our collective attention as sites that, when used for comps, seem to generate lots of unwanted postal, email & phone call attention. These are listed below for your information, however, please do remember that this is only the collective opinion of other MSE Compers & does not necessarily reflect upon the sites themselves.
