BlueBella

I am also not going to post any more L&S comps - just Facebook comps that are being run correctly!

E. Promotions
If you use Facebook to communicate about or administer a promotion (such as a contest or sweepstakes), you are responsible for the lawful operation of that promotion, including the official rules, offer terms and eligibility requirements (e.g., age and residency restrictions), and compliance with regulations governing the promotion and all prizes offered in connection with the promotion (e.g., registration and obtaining necessary regulatory approvals). Please note that compliance with these guidelines does not constitute the lawfulness of a promotion. Promotions are subject to many regulations and if you are not certain that your promotion complies with applicable law, please consult with an expert.
i. Promotions on Facebook must be administered within Apps on Facebook.com, either on a Canvas Page or a Page App.
ii. Promotions on Facebook must include the following:
a. A complete release of Facebook by each entrant or participant.
b. Acknowledgment that the promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Facebook.
c. Disclosure that the participant is providing information to [disclose recipient(s) of information] and not to Facebook.
iii. You must not condition registration or entry upon the user taking any action using any Facebook features or functionality other than liking a Page, checking in to a Place, or connecting to your app. For example, you must not condition registration or entry upon the user liking a Wall post, or commenting or uploading a photo on a Wall.
iv. You must not use Facebook features or functionality as a promotion’s registration or entry mechanism. For example, the act of liking a Page or checking in to a Place cannot automatically register or enter a promotion participant.
v. You must not use Facebook features or functionality, such as the Like button, as a voting mechanism for a promotion.
vi. You must not notify winners through Facebook, such as through Facebook messages, chat, or posts on profiles (timelines) or Pages.
vii. Definitions:
a. By “administration” we mean the operation of any element of the promotion, such as collecting entries, conducting a drawing, judging entries, or notifying winners.
b. By “communication” we mean promoting, advertising or referencing a promotion in any way on Facebook, e.g., in ads, on a Page, or in a Wall post.

These are the rules - as per facebook promotion terms

what bugs me about this compay is they ran their L&S comp so they could reach a target of 2000 fans! What they fail to realise is - if have another culling spree, they will probably lose anything from 500+ fans!:mad:

I have unliked Old School Locker's page! I have reported them too as obviously they don't think they are breaking the rules! Here is what they posted!

Our fantastic competition is still going and will close at midnight tonight..... However, if one more person posts negative comments or sends abusive messages moaning or generally telling us how to run our business, Then I will cancel this and any future competitions with immediate effect. I'm personally fed up with putting my hand into my pocket and offering prizes and freebies in an effort to create a bit of fun and interest and constantly opening up my inbox to find abuse and snotty comments! Either play along and support an independent business or keep your opinions to yourself!! Thank you to our real fans for supporting OSL and all your custom but the greedy people sadly ruin it for everyone else. Thank you for listening! ;-)

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Old-School-locker/331750490195316 - please report their page too! Calling us greedy - what a cheek!

BlueBella

Let's boycott this page and report them - they think we are in the wrong and they are right! Hope Facebook removes them!

BlueBella

Yeah - they are going to use an app in future! We won!

As so many have now been told, if they continue then the option is to report them, especially if they start being snarky about it. I'd have no hesitation.

Qwerty Flowers ended early and sent me a nice message as well :j

"Thank you very much for taking the time to send this link. We have ended our competition early as we wouldnt want anyone to risk their accounts. We will review the guidelines and ensure that our next competition is run in an approved way. Thanks again."




Old School Locker seems to run by morons
