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


    I think cause he puts out different tweets for the same comp, I would say you could retweet each one he does. - It's a different tweet.

    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:

    That is what I do.

    If the company specify that's it's only one retweet per person - That's fair enough, we have to assume (or hope) that they have some way of only counting one retweet/entry per person. If people carry on retweeting they are probably just wasting their time as they'll still only have one entry.

    next comp they put on here re: twitter I will be replying on main board thankyou peeps
  • I just RT the once as I come across twitter comps on here - simply because twitter depresses me - it is not fun being on there for me, its boring! lol
    Having said that , I DID used to actually comp on twitter - sit there for ages looking for comps to enter and I do know that theres a hell of a lot of compers that rt TONS of times each comp - and yes, that's by copying and pasting the tweet and deleting a full stop or adding a kiss or whatever each time to make a 'new tweet' so twitter still lets it go through. I am not sure I would class it as cheating as such unless the company have said 1 rt per person - but if every RT someone does for that comp, if it makes them have multiple entries to that comp, then they will have a better chance of winning I suppose - but some companies don't like you doing that and I always think that hopefully theres a lot of companies that only let you have the one entry no matter how many times you rt, so maybe the multiple rt'ers are often wasting their time - who knows? I don't let it bother me now - I just click through the links on here to enter a twitter comp and then I forget about it - and I have still been lucky and won several twitter comps doing this so theres hope for all us 'one rt'ers' :p
    twitter comping is filled with flaws - way too easy for cheats.. for every twitter comp I win I see it as a two finger salute to all the serial twitter addicts that lose their life sat in twitter hell all day!!! :rotfl:

    There are people who only comp via twitter, just enter as much as you can - its pretty much pot luck on there

    feel free to follow me @stralisemiai - and Rt any company competition RTs you find, amongst my random chatter about Dr Martens, and Music.. and stuff :p

    Good luck x
    Wishing you all good luck!

    I don't understand twitter really but recently someone tried to open a twitter acc. in my name with my email which I of course refused - what could be their motive? What damage could they cause? think I know who it could be.
