Yes, I read that ad it was good reading - they say they are no longer posting like and share comps:TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea0 -
What I don't get is why companies don't know this. The facebook terms are so straight forward and clear, they either have a terrible social networking team or they have some real cheek.
Good on all of you for letting them know. Yay MSE forumites!0 -
ThePrizefinder
As of today, we will no longer list any new Facebook 'Like & Share' competitions at https://www.theprizefinder.com. This is great news and hopefully companies will think twice about running non-compliant Facebook comps when they realise the UK's top competition listings website won't publicise their promotions. These competitions are spam, and put the entrants' Facebook accounts at risk of being deleted.
We'd like to share and retweet compliant App/Rafflecopter/email promotions from smaller companies and pages so they get more exposure and entries. If you run a page or blog, feel free to share your competitions here on The PrizeFinder Facebook page or tweet the link to @theprizefinder.
If you're not sure what the Facebook fuss is about, read today's blog post at https://www.theprizefinder.com/blog/2013/03/19/end-shares:TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea0 -
I messaged Wedgewelly last week who run a like and share comp every Wednesday and they immediately replied thanking me and saying that they'd look into it. I've just seen today's comp post and they're just asking people to like the post (people are still liking and sharing though!)0

Just seen this post by Astonish on Facebook- they often did like and share competitions.
#competition time! To comply with facebook rules, we have to run any #giveaways through an official app. So, we are giving rafflecopter a try! above this status you will see a giveaway tab, click on and enter to win an Astonishing cruelty free product! This comp is a 24 hour quickie! xx0 -
I found it! Am disgusted is a regular user here! Never mind loads of us lost our accounts as long as it doesn't impede on her wins, Hope that account is the next to be blocked!
Who were they referring to when they were moaning about the person with multiple accounts?

QA Advanced Apprenticeships
3 hours ago
Thanks to everyone for entering our “Win an iPad mini” competition this month and spreading the message about apprenticeships.
With just 10 days to go till this competition ends, we’re tweaking the format a bit. If you haven’t already entered, you can do so by clicking on the “Win an iPad mini” tab on our Facebook page and following the instructions shown.
If you've already liked our page or shared one of our previous posts – your entry still counts.
Best of lucky everyone!A strong man stands up for himself, a stronger man stands up for others.0 -
I messaged a company and got a very nice reply back thanking me for my message and they will look into it but they pay facebook for running such promotions. The one I would love to win is still up as an L&S but notice they have another comp running now where you enter your details but not L&S. It's with Bakestone Bread.I love this board, have "virtually" met so many lovely people, people I am honoured to count as friends.
