    BOVVVVVERED............NOT!:eek:

    Nope really I'm not, I could probably count on one hand how many times a year I wear lipstick, so as far as I am concerned she can stick it where the sun don't shine :rotfl:

    But why do all you lovely compers get so concerned about folks like this?

    Would she even have 500 Bloglovin followers if all the compers removed themselves? I bet not :(

    So speak with your feet take yourself off her blog then these self righteous bloggers who think they are better than us comping trolls ;) will see how much we are helping not hindering them!!

    I agree,mansey.

    Plenty of other comps to play/post.

    Water & ducks back springs to mind :-)

    I would delete the link to her post to slow down the page ranking as well.:D

    Clearly some confusion about what is "Law" and what are guidlines/best practice or even just trying to maximise the reach of the competition (which is often the aim).

    A blogger does not have to give a way to enter that non-bloggers can use anymore than competitions that are run on FB/TW etc have to offer another route of entry.

    Kim has provided this route of entry.

    Doesn't matter what ways you can actually enter, it would still have been fine to restrict entry to "bloggers/youtubers" if only the T&Cs had not included "etc" after that.

    She is no different to soooo many people here. She makes a snap judgement because she doesn’t approve of a type of behaviour. She seems to believe that people entering comps as a hobby is wrong. My guess is that if she was asked, she would think we are greedy and selfish to enter comps at sites we have no connection to.

    So why is that different from anyone here who makes a snap judgement about compers who comp differently to them? If you judge people because they enter for comps with a motivation that you disapprove of, then you are doing the same thing as this blogger. It’s equally as judgemental, and equally as wrong. Those behaving that way justify it because they think they know better about what is right and wrong. Most of the time this isn't true. Most people comp according to their own ethics and criteria. That doesn't mean they don't have any ethics about comping. It only means their ethics differ from someone else's.

    So if you write off groups of compers because you think certain behaviours are greedy, selfish or any other equally as pleasant terms, then don’t moan at someone else when they treat you the same way.

    I see myself as more a giveaway wh0re than a troll, as I only give a little but expect a lot in return. so seeing as my own self image is lower than that of a beauty bloggers opinion, I don't have any worries about what she is saying.

    I could even view her jibe as a compliment ... thank you! blogger, I can lift my head high again, I'm not a dirty giveaway wh0re, but a more socially acceptable troll instead.
