    It would be a shame for any blogger to disqualify a new follower just because they are assumed to be only following for the chance to win a prize. I usually stay following a blog even after the comp has finished!
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    Most bloggers use rafflecopters and I thought the rafflecopter chose the winner at random? Or am I wrong?

    Only if the winners details appear in the RC widget, although even then they can re-select until they get one they want.

    Have posted on the original comp thread but just for others to see:

    It is against ASA rules for anyone holding a competition to exclude someone just because they feel like it.

    Take a read here http://www.promoveritas.com/Blog/Comper_POV
    Thanks to all posters :A
  • I don't understand why people are writing nasty things on her blog - Since when did two wrongs make a right?

    Hayley, if you are reading this, I would just like to put it in perspective for you. Although I don't agree with people posting horrible things on your blog, I can understand why compers are upset.

    Imagine if you entered a competition and noted on the page - this giveaway is not open to professional bloggers or beauty obsessed s l * t s (I don't actually hold this opinion). That comment would indicate that the author had judged both you and your hobbies. I am sure that although it is not a personal comment, you would find it offensive.

    speaking of greed . browsing fb yesterday i came across a comper entering to win a ton of horse feed. i would love to be there if it gets dumped on her front garden. her non existant horse will love it ;)



    can you link to the comp please? I don't have a horse but I enter horsey comps as I live not far from
    http://www.bransbyhorses.co.uk/
    and I'd like to think donating any useful prizes is another way of supporting a local charity!




    ooh look how clever (?) I am , I've found my first comp!

    Blow that for a game of soldiers - she wants to be so ignorant and coarse on a public site, she can bear the consequences:p


    Actually would not have entered anyway, another one who wants endless advertising of her blog around the social media sites for the sake of a lipstick. There is a blog offering a double bed as a prize which only asks for half the entries Madam does:rotfl:

    But, the thing that really struck me about her rant was the last bit`

    'but this giveaway is for you guys & not every Betty, Ethel & Mildred around.

    No one else get the idea that little precious 20 something year old doesn't want (shudder:rotfl:) oldies reading her hip young blog?
