Mags dailies, C2Ws and RaffleCopter ect all have their own individual threads.

So why do any of them need to be duplicated on the main board?

Yep - I would also love to know that too?

I will ask nicely do not bring me or the saga before Xmas into this, It caused me alot of crap and grief, I for one cba with whatever anyone does as long as you don't involve me.

Given the huge debate about mags dailies before Christmas, I don't think we need to revisit that one either! :eek:

The format for adding the mags comps has settled down and seems to be managed well by all involved (although I still personally find it annoying to have everything on the main board - extra work for me to tick when all I do is access the mags from my own bookmarks and enter the ones I want to, but happy to go with majority vote on this )

The click to win comps are, IMHO, different to the mag dailies purely down to the volume of prizes/sites. Either ALL are posted or NONE - we can't really cherry pick, so who's really prepared to list everything that appears on these and keep tabs on it every day?? :rotfl:

Will people also be aware that, unlike the mag prizes, if they win a prize worth £500+ on the (Bauer?) C2W sites it excludes them from winning any further prizes for 6 months! Do people also know that sometimes the exact same prize is listed twice on sites.
Creating links to each prize (some CTW sites run over 100 separate comps at a time :eek:) plus creating links to multiple CTW sites, plus linking to regular comps :eek::eek::eek:

If everyone is prepared to accept the outcome of the poll and go with the majority vote, then maybe no further discussion needs to take place about the C2Ws - just a thought!

I did not mean to bring any distress to anyone or dig up past threads,
all I am trying to say is that any comps that have a thread of their own do not need to be repeated again on the main board.

It is a total waste of time and effort.

I agree with Biker*Chick either every competition from every individual thread needs to go on the main board or none at all (Which I much prefer if they already have a thread of their own)

What I may think is a good competition and should go on the main board the next person may think is naff, so leave them on their own threads and let each comper decide whether to enter or not.

I totally get your point mansey, and respect your POV but prob best to keep the debate focussed on the C2Ws only, as that is what the thread (and subsequent poll) was created to resolve

Agree, Mag dailies seems to work well for me on the main site,but CTW are a totally different thing. So unnecessary to list them all as when you click on one you have access to all the others anyway.

Exactly this. I'm having trouble believing that anyone with enough wits to enter competitions correctly is too stupid to realise the wisdom of the above.

i barely find ones worth entering, i'll be red crossing all day
