    So it could be anyone who has signed up to pm/post and not someone who is actually connected to the site.

    Probably was them as their latest competition has a Term and Condition to the effect that you must visit the website to be eligible.
    I haven't copied and pasted for obvious reasons.

    I blame me; dirty law breaking spammer that I am

    Seriously though, if I'd have received something along the lines of "Hi, would you mind removing the competition (insert link here) that you have posted on MSE as it is in breach of our site T's and C's" I would have, of course removed it.

    As it is though, I have not got a clue what they are on about as no link to any comp I have posted has been provided by them and many other BN1 comps remain (for now). So god knows why they've singled me out. All I can assume is, as they are based in Brighton they must be Man United fans with a grudge.

    Maineblue has been accused of posting competitions that he didn't post. That, as I said in my original post, "borders on slander", which obviously means I don't think it is slanderous per se. But thanks for your comment :)

    Nothing even bordering on slander has taken place.

    Snake are you trying to point out slander is the spoken word and libel is the written word?

    I've edited the OP
    It does however now look like a load of mad old gibberish
    But I'd rather that than spend 10 years hard labour for breaking more rules
    Shame as until Admin sort this / get to the bottom of this then other members risk posting comps for this company and thus will be taken outside, stripped naked, tarred, feathered, and shot with an oversized potato gun before they are required to eat birdseed whilst dancing to the 'Birdie Song' for a period of not less than 24 hours

    ^^Serious that was in the companies Ts & Cs, so be careful everyone

    Or they could just make you sit, butt naked and tackle out on the Nudist beach in Brighton until you promise to never ever again transgress their very strict rules which must be obeyed at all times!:rotfl:
