    This is not the same but I have found that I am blocked from the odd site for no reason - some I have not even followed before

    Is it not because it's for kids ?

    I presume they would expect parents/family to enter for them?
    Are kids allowed to use Twitter?? I have no idea..

    Either way it's not good PR to just ban people without explanation/ based on assumptions.

    No minimum age for Twitter, that's why Harper Collins have a Children's feed.

    Some of the previous comps they have run have had an over 18 only t&C so they must expect followers of all ages. If I was the OP I'd want to know if I was blocked for being a 'comper'..

    I wouldn't know about that I don't follow them.

    Multiple retweets or could one those sites that retweet have made multiple retweets on your behalf?

    i got blocked from Dave lackie. Made the mistake of tweeting them to ask a question and assume they looked at my twitter acct which is largely used for retweets and got blocked!

    That's bad Broughton - bad PR. Doesn't matter WHY you're following him really - if they have conditions they should be spelled out right there in the comp post. I'm still waiting to hear of anyone winning Dave Lackie anyway!

    Just what I was thinking, lots of comps, never heard anyone say they have won one.
