Twitter compers beware!!

She gets loads of stick for winning. I've had months where I've won 16 things on twitter and then other prizes from other platforms. It all depends on how a company picks their winner, which isn't her fault. As mentioned about the more followers, retweets you get etc the higher up in results you show meaning you have more chance of being picked. Some people enter twitter comps at the very last minute as there is a limit to how many retweets a promoter can see. It's nothing fishy or scamming it's just how twitter works.

hmm the girl was basically called a scammer in the op's post! its ok to say in general about companies but this post is about calling a young girl out just cos she wins more than the OP and posting her twitter link etc is just bordering on bullying

Can you please not twist my words in an attempt to make me look like a nasty person. Not once did I say she was a scammer. I said there was a scam going on somewhere in relation to the companies hosting the competitions. I was not calling her out because she wins more than me, I was simply addressing a situation I have seen on Twitter where one user wins a lot of competitions which seems very strange. The word young girl keeps being repeated, which to me seems like it's being insinuated I am an older lady picking on a young girl where as I am actually the same age as the girl in question wining the competitions. I did not once threaten her, or call her anything offensive to her. I personally find it very offensive that your basically calling me a bully (or boardering on bullying as you said) when I'm simply addressing a situation which has arisen on Twitter and given my opinion

Twitter can be very strange in the way winners are picked, it's so hard to win on there now. Blaming one twitter user isn't right though. I think this thread should be closed now.

I have won numerous prizes on Twitter I have low followers and rarely enter at the end of Twitter comps. yet my personal twitter page for friends when i enter comps via that one I never seem to win and I have over 1k followers lol

I'm confused as to how a couple of posters on this thread know so much about this twitter user. How hard she works, how much she is bullied on twitter, what she does in promoting companies etc. The couple defending her seem to know an awful lot about her. Now suddenly people who have written against the blogger on here are being blocked. So A) seems she has been made aware of this thread or is a member here. I've been a twitter user for years and never heard of her.

Mathematically it is almost (And i said almost) impossible to win as much as she has, given the odds. Nowhere in the OP post is there any hint of bullying and I'm confused as to why on the many threads over the years here casting suspicion on someone cheating in some way, this is the only one where a couple of people have come out in fierce condemnation of the post and have a ton of info on the twitter user.

Just sayin'

There is zero bullying in this thread and it is absolutely OTT to say so.

Most important is the fact that I have NEVER won a fish slice lol

I don't know her personally but have seen similar posts to this about her before and when the compingfairy was running on twitter there were lots of tweets to them about her.

tamalyn

i dont know her at all, i just follow the witch hunts of her on twitter and this is not the first or last i will see her of here on mse, but as toniq said earlier maybe if you spent less time wondering why u dont win and actually go enter then this post may be mute - also its in the wrong forum

and as i keep saying there is nothing mathematical about winning on twitter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for clearing that up ickle

I don't even like twitter or facebook comps. Too many entries to have much chance of winning anything. To easy for the companies on there to pick a winner in a non random way. Feel the same about Rafflecopter which I hate. Problem is it seems lately that half the comps posted are either facebook or twitter so you miss a lot of comps if you don't do them. Used to be ok when you'd get an email from someone on facebook saying you'd won. Now most simply let you know in the post comments. Very easy to miss a win.
