    I can understand having a regular poster for the magazine competitions but having regular poster for TV comps, I think anyone should be able to post them if they are not already posted.

    It's all in the guide - posts do not show on search for some time and having regular posters helps to stop a mass of duplicate posts with people trying to be the first to post them and also saves the regular posters the need to search.
    None of them have short closing closing dates so there is no issue if they are not posted the first moment the competition is shown and are posted sometime later.

    Having the comping guide pointed out so they and other people could avoid making the same mistake again is hardly being "jumped on".

    Why could you not have sent the op a nice quiet pm then? rather than everyone pointing out the rules to the op? the op obviously did not know.

    And the original poster is hardly a beginner and has not come back...:cool:
    cathyj, thank you for all your work posting these - seems we have people here willing to take on the task of posting them regularly week in, week out so perhaps you should have a nice break?:cool:

    Sincere apologies to cathyj for posting competition which she usually posts. In my defence, I had searched but nothing showed, and didn't realise this competition had a regular poster.

    Like chrissie57 says, I have been using these forums for around 11 years now, gained lots from the posts, and (hopefully), given back some things too. By posting the competition it wasn't my intention to upset regular posters. Just thought I could pay back a little to the forum from which I have benefited so much.

    I appreciate there are rules, and don't need mjm3346 pointing these out on 5 different occasions! I find this to be over the top, patronising and nit picking!

    I apologise again to cathy, comping is suppose to be an enjoyable, relaxing hobby, not the start of World War 3!
