FB/twitter comps- do you 'unlike/unfollow', if not won?

brightonman123

just thinking some firms offer stuff to promote themselves, fair enough, but push for a lot of 'likes' when only one person can win, this rather inflates their followship as it were..

does anyone diary comps, to unfollow / like, if not won?

Yes, I do - I unfollow/unlike if I didn't win, specially if I have no interest in the company. I stay following or liking if they run regular comps though.

That's what I do, too

This is probably the best way to run things and I always mean to do it!
My accounts a bit messy and I'm currently following 1931 and I'd say half are friends, compers and things I'm interested in. The rest are companies that are running (or have run) comps.

I have a cull every now, based on when they were last online and when their last comp was but this is very time consuming

Same here, if it's a big brand I stay following because they're likely to run another competition. If it's just some random insurance company I'll unlike!

Every so often I check through to see if the comp winner has been announce then unfollow/unlike unless it's a company I use anyway.

Does you good to unlike or have a cull every now and again, especially on Facebook - the less likes you have, the less of a comper you look, (plus your newsfeed is clearer!) and you are therefore less likely to get banned!

I got banned on Facebook for three months at the beginning of last year - since then, I have tried to keep my Facebook account looking as normal as possible - ie keeping my likes down, only entering L&S comps that have a prize I really want. Since then, I have never even had a warning so my plan obviously works! I also make silly random comments in my status every now and again - just so my wall isn't all just comps!

Is there somewhere on facebook that I can see a list of all the pages I like?
Thanks.

Apologies first if you are aware of this method but it may help those who are unsure.

Yes when you click on your name to take you to your own facebook page, around the top middle of the page (just underneath where it says activity log and update info) there is a few buttons -Friends, Map, Photos and Like.
Click the like button and it will open up a new page with all the pages you have liked.
If you wish to unlike a page hover the cursor over the name of the company etc. A little pop up box will appear go to this box and hover your mouse over the liked text and a drop down menu will appear. click unlike.You have now unliked the page. Do this to unlike the pages you don't want to like anymore then refresh your browser.

Of course the other alternative is to go to each of the pages you have liked and unlike them that way but I personally find the way I have said so much easier.
