I PMd Biker*Chick but wanted to start a poll before I go to bed

IMO they clog up the board being listed separately and would be better off with one post per prize with the five links within the one post. You can choose to enter as many as you want. The appropriate instruction would be given on the post, of course.

So here's the poll. Do you want them separate, or together. Please vote/comment.

I won't be back until morning, so goodnight all.
Thank you to everyone who posts on the competitions boards. You all rock!

    I can't see a poll, but I was thinking the exact same thing. Quicker all round if posted together. Please :)

    Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!

    I voted together, the same as the mag dailies, as they have a shared prize. To me each mag is just an extra entry into the same comp.

    I'm happy to post as one per prize :)

    Can folks think of any others that could be condensed?

    Laks' Wedding Mag ones for different counties springs to mind (I doubt there is more than one prize overall?) What do people think?

    Are there any more?

    I was thinking of this too. Must take BC ages to post them. Especially when the board is running so slow

    Bless the posters :A

    They can't be posted "condensed" when:

    a) They have different end dates for the same prize
    eg.
    E: 08/12 Win a premium Access All Areas gift box (Daily Star)
    E: 09/12 Win a premium Access All Areas gift box (OK!)

    b) Sometimes one or more of the sites doesn't put the comp online at the same time as the others.

    c) Sometimes the form on one of the sites is faulty.

    Biker*Chick does a fantastic job with these and has a system that works well.

    All of the ones that are Facebook OR Twitter and one entry per person in the T&C's. I think people are duping themselves sometimes without realising. (eg Esso Thursdays)

    I always think the poster should do what is easiest for them.

    I'd rather see them together but won't complain if they're not. I appreciate that someone is taking the time to post them :)
