    Like and share is already breaking FB rules so I doubt the company are bothered if their comp T&C's allow them to change how the comp is run or not.

    I left a post telling them that not only does it directly contravene fb rules but it's also illegal and advised anyone who's annoyed to contact trading standards and low and behold the whole post on which I commented was removed and the bit about the comp changes moved too at least i'm pretty sure it has if anyone can confirm this? x
    Starting afresh - comping as much as poss!

    Hoping for: some beauty goods, clothes, amazon vouchers, anime, manga, wardrobe, fridge freezer, laptop, an ipad, vouchers for next, exercise goods, a uk break and a wee hol somewhere nice!
    Wishing all a little luck:beer:

    I don't know about FB (or that company) but you can track in detail how people arrive at a web page, a while ago there was a database error on a site and you could see how people had arrived there and that even showed how many had come from pm links on MSE, search terms that were used on google etc that had led people to the site and so on.
