Hi
I've been doing Twitter comps a bit more than usual and now have various followers who constantly RT my RT of competition posts, I get the notifications through, I have told a couple that they might be disqualifying themselves or me and tried to give them advice on how to RT, but one is still doing anyway.
Saw Superlucky Di say it sometimes raising your profile, I'm really not sure what to do about it, ignore, encourage, block?
What effect does it have on the competition exactly?
Thanks

Leave them it, it seems to make no difference.
I get tons doing it to me, Learnt recently that people are asked by certain compers to do it to their rt's actively, he seems to win tons so can't make a diff.
Me and a few others rt each others quite a bit, more as an experiment at mo to see what happens and if ratios go up, doing thousands lol!
Anyhow's lovely to see you still around!!! Hope I still have u on twitter? xxxxxxxxx#JusticeForGrenfell0 -
Slowly getting better although having a hysterectomy this month, which will mean I will be spending a lot of time in front of the computer I suppose. :cool:
I need to get my head around other comping formats, Pinterest is great but I get so into boards and daydreaming of stuff I cannot afford, I never end up comping on there :rotfl:
Ok I will just ignore them from now on, so much to learn about this Twitter lark.. thanks xxxxxxxxWishing you a lucky 2026: 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀0 -
Apologies if I am doing this accidentally. I just do the RT from the link provided on the forum. I find Twitter so confusing.Wishing everyone the best of luck.
