Cheating to Win

Options
Hi all,

I need a bit of a vent! There's a facebook page that is great but a lot of people cheat on it to win multiple prizes (Novotel and Cushelle being most recent) and it's really got my goat! I think it makes it really unfair for people who are genuine and enter by the rules- and now the Novotel one seems to have been pulled!

What are other people's opinions on this? This is my rant of the day today!

    I've noticed this some people have been encouraging others to delete their cookies etc as then they can just keep re-entering. It's not in the spirit of the comp and really annoys me :(

    Hiya, this is a group for freebies/good deals on facebook and for the two comps I've mentioned above, people we encouraged (and did), do things like clear cookies, use multiple emails, use different browsers, use websites that hide your proxy, clear chaches just to win multiple prizes. What took me a week to win fairly, people have won in 10 minutes by doing the above (and pretty much every prize going on the comp)- just seems unfair and really winds me up!

  • The most maddening thing about certain cheats is that they complain about other people cheating :mad:

    And on the subject of 'cheats' - some of them are just vile. Reading certain things yesterday made me ashamed to be a woman. Men just don't seem to get involved. Why is it the women who are so vile and catty?
