I had a LoveFilm comp removed yesterday, now I can only assume it was because you have to have a subscription with the site, which is free for the first 30 days, after which you can still be registered with them and enter comps without having to pay for a subscription. this was pointed out in the comp thread by myself and another user.

Another example of people using the rules as the letter of the law.

stupid!

Sorry posted this in the wrong place.. oh well

    Hi,I have no idea as to why it was deleted as we have seen these posted on a regular basis for as long as I can recall.

    Maybe contact admin & enquire.

    It will probably be reposted though as it will not show on search.

    We've always had the Love Film ones posted :/
    Anyone who's had a free trial can enter for free however long ago it was and you can still sign up, cancel if you're not interested and enter all the comps.

    Totally agree with you mclarkie x

    I looked for you and it was deleted by MSE team 3 which i think is the one done automatically when people hit the spam button.

    Hi,if I recall it was this one: http://www.lovefilm.com/features/competition.html?section_name=competitions&editorial_id=51474

    Are you going to repost it?

    Hopefully the spam clickers will have gone on holiday for the repost :-)

    Members cannot dupe an entry via LoveFilm as it shows the previous entry ie I get:

    Thank you for entering this LOVEFiLM competition.

    Keep on checking back for the latest LOVEFiLM competitions, and your chance to get your paws on some great money-can't-buy prizes.
    Best of luck!

    I duck in and out of a Love Film subscription. Lets me enter whether a current live subscription or not.

    Now I have to sign in first with my Amazon log-in and then enter. (front page doesn't recognise the Amazon password)

    I have been a member for about six years but have not paid a penny in the last four years & I can still enter the comps.

    Please do not click spam on the comps from there plus I am not sure if clicking spam reflects on the poster of the comp.

    i quite often hit the spam button when entering comps quickly, i always then reclick to unreport it. Its due to it being so close to the tick. it may have happened on this occasion but the person has just left it marked as spam.
    would love to win an ipad!

    Hi,I'm not sure of the numbers needed but I'm reasonably certain that it would take a few members clicking the spam button to force a move.
