Certain posts were deleted as I was making a statement purely about certain cheats with no names or sites mentioned but a couple of you attacked me personally.Still comping, after 2 heart attacks 4th feb & 6th feb, and a stent put in.. 45 years old only:eek:0

But you attacked them by reporting them? you went out of your way to make sure they couldn't win and that is allowed to stay?
Witchhunting, pure and simple.#JusticeForGrenfell0 -
I don't see why you can't enter some of the wedding comps if you're not getting married. For example a pair of shoes doesn't have to be worn at a wedding, nor does make up. However, I wouldn't enter for those items that are definitely for a wedding.
Do you judge me for that? Well I don't care if you do.
Also I enter for baby/children's items and am childless. But you shouldn't judge because I have children in my life that I am giving these winning items to.
I'm sure I've also seen someone on here who enters them to give to charity. You don't know what the winner is going to do with those items.
If it's not against the T&C's then you really can't object to anyone at all entering.Thank you to everyone who posts on the competitions boards. You all rock!0 -
sod it then - i'm off to win an all expenses paid honeymoon and i'll enjoy the free holiday0

And I agree with vanpopple on it (although I've never bothered reporting someone to a company)... I cannot stand people making stories up, and then winning. I seem to remember a year or 2 ago, someone was posting about how much their bunch of children would love a prize, and when they won it was straight on e-bay (and turned out the winner had no kids).
This isn't an issue with a "normal" comp, where you answer a question and give your details (then it's all fair and square)... the problem is, this person might have been picked to win, due to the comp runner thinking the prize would go to said children and make their day.
I got no kids, but I do have grand kids, and occasinally I enter for baby comps, but I wouldn't go on facebook and claim I had 7 children and no money, in the hope to win a prize.
This year I've won a little teddy for my grand-daughter. I won it from entering my name and e-mail on a website... everyone that entered had the same chance, no sob stories about.0 -

Think youve got a bit confused, i havent attacked anyone here nor have i 'made sure' they couldnt win. (OP last year was where i saw the info then read more about it on certain other blog/comp sites as they were linked to it, just repeating what was said last year really)
I dont know any witches either, and my posts will stay as i havent moaned about mse nor mse as a site??
Thanks hannonle, yes it was comps which had strict rules that were being ignored at the time, i believe the T & Cs in some of the comps which had problems have been altered now to ensure honesty (i.e - MUST have a wedding date or be engaged was one i remmeber)
My posts all relate to STRICT T & Cs - that were being ignored by some.
But if it doesnt say anything major like that in T & Cs then yep everyone can enter, regardless whether getting married, having kids/no kids, i only mean when its clear there was cheating going on.
Thanks mulle, and sax11 i always like your humourous comments:rotfl:
