    I usually retweet as many times as i can..but you can only retweet a tweet once...my example: I usually retweet Davelackie tweets but he will tweet the competition a few time and every time he does i will retweet.

    Is that classed as cheating?...not that i have ever won anything through twitter :rotfl::rotfl:

    People do copy and paste tweets to retweet them - I've seen people win who I know for a fact have retweeted a comp tweet over 40 times. Sometimes it's just a case of all the retweets going into a hat and someone being picked - in which case I suppose the more times you can retweet, the more chance you have. That's why I stopped entering retweet comps really - I couldn't keep up with that :o

    I know davelackie mentions his several times and it shows you have not retweeted this was blatant multiple retweeting just wondering does it count

    depends on what you use when tweeting - some platforms you can edit tweets to RT them , just removing a space or full stop makes it a new tweet so the system doesn't stop it.
    If some people are so desperate for a prize then let them carry on.
