The Rising Popularity of Comping

[QUOTE
A group on FB accusing someone of having many aliases. Threatening to get the police involved. Sad, really, from grown women. I mean I don't like cheats but these guys trip out the same vitriol month after month.[/QUOTE]

Ah yes, I think I saw that... in the Winners page? How the heck does someone manage that many accounts :eek:?
Perhaps I'm naïve, but I'm shocked by both the cheating (Often for fairly low-value prizes,) and how much nastiness I see on FB. Can't be doing with it!

Haven't looked in the Winners Circle yet. It was on someone's FB page apparently

Ah. So much for the 'happy' winner's circle!!

WOW there is A LOT of drama in the comping world huh!

I didn't know people set up "secret" facebook groups for it....that's quite sad really!

Back to the original question it doesn't bother me there is more compers no more compers = more comps and everyone has an equal chance, i'm not that lucky but I am a trier, and you know they say god loves a tirer. My husband plays the lotto....I have more chance winning a decent comp than he has winning the lotto. I am so looking forward to a massive win so he can stop laughing at me, plus he went to a 'reading' (not that I believe in them really lol) and the lady said in the winter someone in his house hold was going to 'come in to money' but it wasn't actual cash, she said she couldn't understand it, we were going to get something 'big' but she couldn't put in to context how it was going to happen. I just shouted "COMPING BABY" and sat on the computer all night haha.

Anyway went totally OT there, if I thought bad about 'New' compers than I would of been thinking bad about myself as I consider myself a 'new' comper as only been doing it a little over a year, and I think I am awesome so.....


the only thing that annoys me about this board is everytime I think "YES I have founda comp I can post" I search and find someone has beat me too it, however yesterday I found one and I was the first to post it....I felt so warm and fuzzy inside!

I fear for the intelligence of some people when they think they've 'outed' a 'cheat' or 'multiple ID' because they're on twitter at the same time

:rotfl:

EverDecreasingCircles

I've been comping here for quite a number of years now and although there's possibly been a slight increase in compers (I think this could be because of the rise in unemployment and people generally being skint) I've seen a lot of people come and go.

When I started there was possible only around 10 new pages of comps each day. That's doubled now so even though there may be more compers, there's more comps to go round.

ETA: I just realised I had my 10th anniversary back in June... and missed it. Oh well lol
