    Unfortunately, there are a few 'trolls' on this site. I reported one person in particular as I was new and trying to post comps and this person didn't like how I posted and so publically abused me on here but thanks to other kind mse-ers they encouraged me to come back

    Your post made me sad too. :(

    Congratulations on your wins!! Don't let them ruin the experience for you. Most people LOVE to hear about other people's wins on the IWIWIW section, I certainly do.

    There are always going to be a few weird people (they always seem to crop up on internet forum's for some reason) but you should ignore them (and probably report them) and don't let them change your behaviour.

    Chin up!! And keep on comping! You clearly have the lucky touch!!

    :j
    Thanks to all those lovely people who contribute to this website. :beer:

    Awww thats so sad. I'm always glad to hear of people's wins on this forum as its nice to know the winner is from 'the family' so to speak. Its lovely reading about people's wins especially if they post pics too. As a previous poster said they have probably jinxed themselves by being mean and petty.

    I can understand how it can be frustrating when you have dry spells and you see other people win but I always hope that that could be me around the corner or maybe lady luck is saving it up for a big one :). When I started comping I thought I would never win it took so long but eventually the wins (albeit small ones) have started trickling through and I get a thrill each time.

    Unfortunately there will always be mean, petty and envious people around whether on here or in 'real life' e.g. workplace, other parents, neighbours, car owners...you name it someone will always be jealous.

    So just ignore them and enjoy your luck and your wins. I know thats easy to say as the pms upset you and I'm sorry about that but I'm a firm believer that this forum is made up of more nice people than nasty so hopefully those that sent you the nasty pms will feel ashamed of themselves.

    Just over a week ago, I had a really lucky few days and won a number of nice things. Since then, I have had a few quite nasty pm's and have decided I won't be posting in this section for a while :( I always send the competition poster a pm anyway if I win a prize, so that is how I will be saying my thankyous for now :) :A

    tt

    Well done on your wins & you just carry on as you have been doing

    Dont pay any attention to the people who sent you nasty pm

    Sorry to read this tttJay but as others have said report them, although I guess they probably hid behind an AE.

    Don't let it mar your enjoyment of the wins you rec'ed - well done x

  • so sorry to hear that, congratulations on your lucky streak, I use to be amazed at how jealous people get but now it does not surprise me, I had some lovely wins last year and I saw the jealousy in others and now I do not even tell people about all my wins as its not worth it, that was not on here, it was from people I know. Please report these people, they should be ashamed!
