People who post that 'winner announced' or xyz has won on comps that have ended
it's clear they have ended
they will get a notification on FB, on twitter, a winning email, a phone call etc
there is no need to bump comp posts to say a winner has been chosen, obvious that one has.
Bloody annoying to see comps keep reappearing. Just press expired.
can't find where else to rant and i don't think (actually know i'm not) the only one to get peeved with this.

totally agree!! hitting the expired button does the job just fine
and the winner gets notifications of their win, so no real need to bump!

2 There is a closed comp on the main board, should I do anything?
Absolutely! We can all try to help to keep the Competitions Time Forum tidy, comps which have gone past their end date are moved to the Game Over Forum. If you notice that a comp has closed early or there is a comp which has ended in the main Competitions Time Forum then please see above for how to send a Private Message to a Board Guide.0 -
