Facebook Like and Share Comps

Options
Hi All
I have seen many comments on here about 'Like and Share' comps and how it has caused people problems getting banned etc. I do enter Facebook comps, but not the ones where you have to share, and still my Facebook is awash with rubbish!
I wondered if anyone has actually complained to the company doing the comp by sending them a message telling them that what they are doing is against Facebook rules? And if so did it work? (did they even respond?).
I just got a bee in my bonnet about it this morning when I saw a comp where I would have loved to win the prize, but it stipulated "like and share". I felt that I would really like to send them a message along the lines of "do you realize you are breaking the rules?".

Anyone ever done this?

    Previous long thread although it is no longer against the rules to have "like" as an entry requirement - they can say "share if you like" etc but the share should not be a requirement, although there is nothing to stop, by chance, only those who have shared being picked as winners.

  • Thanks for that (Did a search for "Like and Share" but obviously missed this!).
    At least it's not just me who feels like that then. If I come across any more I think I will message them about it. Can't do any harm.
    cheers
