This girl gets bullied and hounded in a disgusting manner, the names she has been called by compers is down right nasty, she is a 21 year old, pretty, blogger, if you see how she comps it's by tweeting relevant stuff regarding each company. She can not fix comps with some of the larger companies, they will not bow down to anyone let alone a uni kid with a blog.

If people spent their time more wisely than screen shotting her wins then they might win too.Thats stalking.

I have days like today I won 6 between twitter and fb, I have week upon week where I win zilch.

No wonder that poor girl is a bundle of nerves half the time because of the amount of abuse she gets.

You have no proof of her doing anything wrong yet you start posting on here to cause yet more conflict for her.

I've just been looking at her twitter, and suddenly I'm blocked from looking. no abuse, just retweeted a tweet and bam! blocked. ?

I didn't acuse her of anything I merely stated that something fishy was going on. And I am not causing any conflict, just stating my own opinion of the matter, being a maths student at university I can tell you it's nearly statistically pretty impossible to win that many every day, if the competition runners are abiding to the rules and regulations of running competitions (which is that your not allowed to choose the winner on specific traits, but at random)
I'm not saying compers bulling her is right, it's obviously awful, I never even knew of it because Im new to Twitter

Yes I do think you have a point. I agree with what someone said earlier about her being a blogger and also having lots of followers, that probably unfairly influences it.

I'm sure the OP just thought it odd that she had won so many rather than having any ill intent.

Personally I think the companies are in the wrong because a competition should be a random draw unless specified otherwise - not her fault though.

The Law states that bloggers now have to be upfront and open if they are being paid in money or goods to promote a company. If *is excepting goods as part of payment then she is breaking the law and should be reported to the Police. I suggest you present your print of her winnings to the Police asap

I agree with you. The companies should make it fair regardless of who it is, it should be fair.

Really is this true?

tamalyn

the girl wins as she puts effort into being personal with all the comps she enters, am afraid twitter is not all about luck, the company could never see all the retweets and is most likely going to pick a name that sticks out or a reply they have had and thats what she does. there is no way for any twitter comp to ever be fair unless they use an ap an RT comps dont come with an app. leave the girl alone as she works hard and has ignored so much bulling and jealousy, how would u feel if it was your daughter in uni woking hard on a blog and entering comps? and oh so winning all the time.

No Tamalyn - She wins as she is a blogger with lots of followers and it's to the companies advantage, fair play to her but very unfair for other people. Still it's not really her fault, it's the companies. I see lots of people commenting or sending pictures that don't win that much so effort has nothing to do with it. Most of the competitions are RT only. I prefer Facebook as that seems more fair.

USA have stricter rules, and it would only be an ASA issue anyway if there was a problem here

the rules don’t prohibit PR companies sending free gifts or samples to bloggers in the hope of receiving a positive review and this does not need to be declared
