Miffed at being blocked on Twitter

Nutz Audio have never blocked me and I enter lots of comps so very strange.

I realised I was blocked by Game after trying to enter a twitter competition. I messaged them via facebook asking if there was any reason for this, and that having being a regular customer for several years, it had annoyed me as just because I enter competitions it doesnt mean that I dont then go on to purchase items. They messaged me straight back on facebook and said that they were really sorry. They unblocked me and wished me best of luck entering competitions in the future.

Oddly never had a problem with a Twitter account blocking me for entering a competition, but I am on several blocklists for advocating for ethical gaming journalism as well as fighting for and defending consumer rights for video gamers. I'm selective about which competitions I enter on Twitter and the vast majority of my tweets are my own personal thoughts and retweets on issues I care passionately about so a competition organiser running down my profile will have no reason to believe I am a comper.

Nutz blocked me too. I've entered loads of theirs in the past. Oh well. I blocked them too. Dave Lackie seems really nice I've chatted over a comp prize before and I obviously use mine for mainly comping!

Don't know why they don't welcome compers - such a ridiculously cheap way of them to get shares/retweets! Must be a percentage who go on to check out whatever site or product...

A lot of them block you if you have unfollowed them previously when you have been at your follow limit and then refollow them

Is it that easy for them to keep track of who has unfollowed and re-followed - seems a pointless thing to look at?

Oh - just noticed 'FLO Candles' have blocked me. Another company to give a wide berth.

Very easy. Some of the unfollow apps and apps which dm you as a new follower do a weekly stats round up of new followers reach etc and a list of who unfollowed you companies can then.block unfollowers who know nothing of it till they see a comp mentioned here and go to follow again
