    :rotfl::rotfl: LOL I must admit, some bloggers do go a little overboard with their entry requirements, especially when it is to win something small, like a children's book, or a bib. And what I really don't agree with is when they ask you to vote for them daily for an award or a comp they are entering as part of the rafflecopter (ie you will gain extra entries into their comp by voting for them on a daily basis - it seems almost like bribary and a little naughty of them! :eek: ) I don't mind voting for blogs or bloggers away from a rafflecopter as I do believe many of them deserve an award for their efforts. I suppose I just don't like voting comps full stop.

    Oooh another one just thought of.
    Why do some twitter competitions give you false hope?
    You know the one's
    You follow them on twitter
    You retweet the competition post
    Then you wait

    You find that the competition poster is now following you.
    Ooh great
    You've got a DM (private message) from them
    Double ooh great
    You open the message to read
    "Hi thank you for following us here's a 15% discount off your next order"

    I wonder why people ask the same questions over and over.

    It's already been answering a million times - do a search, you're bound to find at least ONE!


    I also wonder why people feel the need to inform a forum of strangers that they are giving up on comping. Jeez, so what?

    yes. YES exactly that :T

    some people just want answers without looking though - i class them as lazy so answer as i do.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Exactly this! But what really really boils my pish is when you go through all that and more for 1 entry each then the very last one is the 'earn 150,000 entries and validate all previous entries by performing open heart surgery on yourself then post it on Instagram including your Pinterest Mood Board' or some such nonsense! :rotfl:
