Facebook L&S or APP

BlueBella

Hi,

Don't know whether this has been debated before, but when people post a Facebook comp, would it be a good idea to add either APP or L&S (Like and Share) to the title too? I know there are many people on here who don't want to enter L&S's anymore, so it would mean, they could just press the red cross button by the L&S rather than clicking on them to see what type of comp they are?

I would find it useful to see "L&S" in the top as then I can just red cross them all.

I think another good way round these is that when someone sees it, maybe as well as posting or instead of posting, to contact the company directly and inform them of the pitfalls of not running a competition via an app. Most companies don't seem to even realise that they are breaking Facebook rules, or what problems it can cause. Obviously some are just "like"-hungry pages run by idiots who don't care what rules they break, but most good companies will listen to the feedback.

Great idea I refuse to enter them anymore - fed up with spamming my friends

This was suggested and agreed on a while ago, but not everyone does it, the regular posters do though I think.

I've seen it on some FB posts and it's REALLY helpful so hopefully more will adopt it

OK, Well if I post up any Facebook comps from now on I will either type APP or L&S beside 'Facebook' so that people know. I would find it very helpful if others did it too as I could just skip all the L&S's to save time!

With regard to companies running L&S I am willing to post on their wall a message stating they are breaking Facebook rules!

This sounds a good idea

Admittedly I do some of the like and share ones but would much prefer to target the app ones

Please don't apologise for posting fab comps!:o

I for one think it's a fab idea, I avoid the Like and Shares like the plague and it would be good to just skip

BlueBella

great! How can we get this message to all posters though?

I've been doing it for a while, because I am a good girl I type Like & Share instead of L&S, but that's because I can type at a million miles per hour :rotfl: I have seen quite a few Like & Share comps. but I said a while ago that I wouldn't post them, and I haven't. Haven't written on anyone's wall though, and have no intention of doing so.
