Where did you see us ?

I've been thinking for a while and decided tonight was the night to post !!

When a competition/company ask you ' Where have you seen us to?' and there is an option saying 'Competition site' or 'MSE competitions' do you think this decreases your chance of winning ?

    I always click one of the social media options ;)

    Maybe we should say MSE to show how much traffic we are bringing to the competitions holders page :)

  • haha I normally click other and write MSE but to me that could be any part of the MSE page. It's when it says a competition page i'm always in two minds would it effect things.

    Yes definately and some comps I bet its nearly all MSE !!!!

    Don't think I have seen MSE as an option but I hardly ever see the question asked, if it was from MSE I would say so as I don't try to hide the page I come from so they could know anyway if they were bothered.
  • I was wondering this yesterday too, as I came across it on a site for the first time. To be honest, I picked a different option, in case it did affect the entry in some way!! I hope it doesn't though!
  • i always put twitter/facebook as my option

    I usually opt for friend, but for example on the winningmoments competition it asks and I chose the "winning moments website".

    No idea if it affects the chance of winning..
