Sorry if this is here somewhere but can't see it. Anyone seen this blog where the girl running it specifically mentions MSE and that she'll delete any entrants coming from here?

"I've mentioned in the T&Cs of the Rafflecopter giveaway that I will be approving all of the entires before I pick a winner, so if you are here from a money saving website or have an account just for winning giveaways, then expect your entry to be deleted. I had a lot of this with my last giveaway, and I've bought this stuff for loyal fans, not for someone who's out to save a bit of money on their Christmas shopping. "

People been having a real go at her but she keeps deleting them lol. Can she delete specific entries?

  • Bought this stuff, pffft! Most of it is clearly free samples, and crap from beauty boxes. I skipped over that one.

    maybe a good idea to put the bloggers name on the list
    to not post the comps/giveaways they do ?
    if they don't want mse compers ..

    Websites that don't want their competitions posted on MSE


    eta,
    I've sent a pm to MSE Megan to have a look.
    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png

    Have messaged Megan. Yeah, it was just a bit of a rant. Wondered why she'd picked this forum in particular cos we're such a lovely bunch with red rosy cheeks lol Is why i don't enter blog comps anyway. you never know which entries are being deleted or ignored. Guess at least she's been upfront about it.

    I saw it a several days ago and posted it on the VGs thread but deleted it almost immediately as I decided it just was not worth the bother - She can say she will not accept entries from any site she likes and do almost anything as long as it is covered in the T&C's or promotional material - (the exceptions would be if it involved religious/race grounds etc)

    She has just called us golddiggers..uneducated fool hah. Shes missing out on this wonderful passtime and has prevented herself reaching a larger audience via the likes of this forum. Oh well

    Bah humbug to her - hope Santa bi-passes her cave!
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea
  • Oh my gosh how horrid is this girl, she should be happy she is getting page views from here. Totally agrees it's all glossy box samples
  • I think her comment about MSE is really rude, but i won't be losing any sleep over it and it's her loss. I'm a blogger and also a comper. I've gained quite a few loyal readers for my blog from running competitions in the past and as a comper, I have discovered quite a few blogs I love through entering competitions, some of which I now regularly read.
