Anyone know who these are. Might be users of the forums. Either it's someone using multiple accounts or one is copying the others tweets.

    the second post has since been deleted. but it's also fun to bring up both accounts and look at the posting history side by side.

    I'm so confused... what's wrong with the Wolverine post? or is it an inside joke :o

    yeah, it's my account and my sister's account so if you have a problem you can happily take it up with us as we haven't done anything wrong :D well, other than not reading the wolverine T&Cs properly! Other people have been using these Twitaculous/Twitninja accounts for ages and I've only just found out about them so maybe I might actually win something on Twitter after 3 years

    I thought it would be someone on here and I did take it up with you on Twitter. Fair enough if it is you and your sister but I assume you can understand how 2 accounts posting the exact same sentence looks like someone cheating right?

    Bit coincidental that you post the exact same tweet at the exact same time. Do you sit in a room together side by side on your comps? lol

    And if you have done nothing wrong why did you delete it?

    Oh I get it.

    I see how it can look like multiple accounts however there are plenty of people who comp on behalf of their family members without having to justify it.

    Can't we all get along...

    Because if you thought that, then 4Music might think so too. Please feel free to judge my comping methods and those of my friends and family - it won't do your comping karma any good at all though ;)

    I'm not arguing. Don't most competitions have rules about not entering on behalf of somebody else?

    I'm gonna point out any one I see that looks like cheating because a lot of honest people on here spend their time comping. Same way I called out Blackberry when they cheated everyone with a false prize and false winner, and reported them to the standards agency.

    My comping Karma has been pretty good recently. Had a WEM today so maybe my honesty & helping others is working in my favour?

    Perhaps you could dedicate some of your tireless energy into helping us in our efforts to stop voting competitions on Facebook? We need all the assistance we can get.

    As I say, feel free to accuse me of anything you like - everyone knows I don't cheat because I never bloody win anything! :rotfl:

    I'm not a big fan of voting comps either and tend to avoid them most time. You do have the choice not to do them still.

    I merely pointed out what I thought looked like a dodgy post, and you obviously agreed E4 would see it the same. Maybe if you stopped looking like you were cheating you might start winning something? lol I don't know you or if you have a sister but the fact it was posted on the exact same minute does not look good at all for you... Hope you understand that.

    It's much easier to find the competitions yourself - or not enter through third parties as a few hosts have mentioned they don't like tweeters using them :) xx
