Are you looking for an alternative comping portal rather than MSE

I am seriously hacked off the my mag posts have been C&P'd including the direct link to the mag.

It won't be a copy & paste job... imo it's a script pulling content off MSE possibly via the forum RSS. That site though has been running for years and I doubt has gained traction in comping circles (probs due to duplicate content issues - and well not being very good)...

MSE could block IPs, stop the RSS but probs will need an email to the site/hosts to put an end to it.

what do you suggest we as just posters could do about it.

I can't understand what they hope to achieve from it. Surely no one is stupid enough to actually use their site to enter comps? The tacky layout would put me off for a start...

You can only really ask the MSE powers that be to take note.

Exactly this, it's a naff website, if I stumbled across it I wouldn't use it as it looks like it is managed by a numpty. How sad for them to be that bored/lonely.

how about http://moneysaversite.co.uk/ which is the work of some lazy, thieving, cretin copying & pasting every single itv thread i post on hotukdeals. They even copy & paste the watermarked screenshots.

I presume the aim of the site is more to get folk in via search engines and click through the Google Ads.

I have an email address with Richard and Sarah Bevan listed from a comp I think and it comes from http://www.newsquestmidlands.co.uk/services.htm#circulation

Maybe they hosted comps we've entered previously and decided to beat us at our own game
