    Comping Cat posts these competitions

    Its normally left to me to stop this happening, if everyone watching posted, there would be loadsof them on here, and i think the BGs have enough to do without sorting out Real Deal every day.
  • Its normally left to me, so this doesnt happen - if everyone watching right now posts, then there would be loads of them!

    I never knew that only one person can post certain competitions? how do i find out which competitions i can post then? is there a list somewhere?

    There isnt a list, as no one person 'owns' any comp, but (and considering you have copied my style of posting exactly) im sure you have seen that i post these everyday, and it is mentioned in Velvet Gloves comping guide (stickied at the top of this forum), thati do.

    As ive said, the reason it is left to me is to stop all the extra work it takes for a board guide to do, with sorting out merges - if the ITV comps were free for alls, with all the people watching, and who would like to contribute to the forum, the board would be full of the same tv comps, and the BGs would have to merge them all, which is not fair on them.

    It makes it easier to fine the comps too if you know the same ones are posted by one person. I just look at comping cats posts to find the itv ones.

    Big thanks to cc for watching all that tv for us

    So, i post every single day, and im the one who has to check its not been posted by someone else?

    We have posted at the same time, so even if i had looked, i would not have seen your post, and like i said befoe, you very obviously know i post, so why post as well?

    That is tensy bit rude given that cc does post them all the time and you both posted at the same time and then two minutes later you posted on cc's thread it was a dupe. It would have been politer for you to have had yours removed as a dupe.

    That's rich, if you had made any effort you would have seen there are competitions (ITV , various magazines etc) which have regular posters and who arrange for them to be covered when they cannot do them.

    If everyone posted when an itv comp went live you would have hundreds of duplicates to merge as none of them would have shown up on a search at the time they were posted. Also stops the regular posters having to waste their time looking for duplicates and they can spend more time posting.

    From the comping guide -

    1 How can I find comps to post on here, I’ve entered loads & want to give some back?
    Regular compers on MSE already post the daily ITV comps & will arrange for someone to cover them if they aren't going to be around - because the search facility won't pick something up for at least 30 mins after posting, please remember that regular posters will probably already have this in hand! Also, the magazine comps that have their own threads will have lists of people that buy the magazines, answer the puzzles then post the answers on here for others. Please respect these existing posters as it is their money they are handing over to buy the mags & give us the answers. If you are interested in helping out or posting a particular magazine then either post in that mags thread or if you can't find the actual thread then post in the Compers Chat Corner Board to ask about it & another comper will be along to help point you in the right direction.

    At the end of the day, no comper 'owns the right' to post a particular comp but please take a moment, have a look around & ask in the Compers Chat Corner Board, if necessary, to ask if there is a regular poster for a particular comp. Let's keep this a friendly place to play, avoid duplication & misunderstandings :)
