    I've got to say I barely look at it! I get retweeted often by people and favourited etc. but I just carry on comping and am still winning about 1 a week on average on twitter

    OMG one a WEEK!!! Nice one, I tweeted 1800 times before I had a win :rotfl: I'm up to 2443 now, so I'm expecting another win in about another 1200 tweets :T

    I noticed some RT'ing of my tweets just recently too, just thought folks were a bit confused and never imagined it could disqualify me :eek: but I think like fortuna93 says, I just carry on comping - I can only aspire to one win per week never mind one twitter win per week - well done :T:T

  • I'm currently on 70.6K tweets so definitely a serial tweeter!
  • It can't invalidate your entry or the comp wouldn't be fair, if it did then I could just go on a diff account and retweet everyone that enters except for me, thus leaving just 1 entry and 1 winner...

    Surely this wouldn't be right???!!

    May good luck be your friend in whatever you do and may trouble be always a stranger to you.

    I got a tweet from someone a while back because I accidently retweeted their tweet for a comp.
    The person told me that as I'd RT'd their tweet, I wouldn't get entered in the comp. But I have noticed others that have RT'd from mine, so I don't know how it all works.
    I just click on the photo of the comp post and it lets me do a fresh RT. I don't win often though - perhaps I don't RT stuff enough.
    BEST EVER WINS WON IN ORDER (so far) = Sony Camcorder, 32" lcd telly, micro ipod hifi, Ipod Nano, Playstation 3, Andrex Jackpup, Holiday to USA, nintendo wii, Liverpool vs Everton tickets, £250 Reward Your thirst, £500 Pepsi, p&o rotterdam trip, perfume hamper, Dr Who stamp set, steam cleaner.

    comping = nowt more thrillin' than winnin':T :j

    Someone can retweet your tweets as long as you have retweeted the actual tweet and not just quoted it with "RT". I don't think you can get disqualified either way though
