Deals Clothing posting pattern

Options
Just noticed a pattern developing for the posting of theDeals Clothing competition.
New users are posting a few other comps then posting that one.
Three (maybe four) times it's happened over the last week.

Coincidence or Machiavellian?

    I favour just reporting & moving on.

    OMG Do you watch Judge Rinder too :rotfl:

    I feel like replying to some of the 'newbie posters':

    'You’ve got about as much a chance of getting me to enter that one as me jumping out of a aircraft doing jazz hands' :rotfl:

    or 'Do you know what amnesia is...or have you forgotten? You seem to be duplicating yourself!' :D
