    I guess they'll be back sometime before 5pm on Monday.......

    .......then never again ;)

    They should have made it so you have to post a (working) link to where you found the code, that way entries would be from active existing members only!

    Shameful :o

    I wonder how many live in the same street/town/county?

    I know the rules said only one per household but I could win 3 times and send one to Grandpa Joe's, one to Aunt Gertrude's and one to cousin Fred's addresses :eek:

    It was posted on other comping sites with the advice to register on the forum and stay signed in so that if you found a code you could post it quickly so that could be why a lot of people have just recently joined to enter

    Looking at a few of the posts some of them do stand out as being very similar though like how so many of them have added a title to their post which means they went into go advanced to reply when the majority of people would just click reply

    That's the best way to do it.

    Post a reply at 12:00:01 and wait for the next person to post up a legitimate code, then edit that code into your post.

    Of course! :doh: That makes heaps of sense, One-Eye :T:T:T

    I didn't even bother with it as it was obviously going to go down this route from the start :( Cynical, moi? :whistle:

    I'm sorry, I may be missing something here, but I'm sure there are many of us who register on sites just to enter the competitions.
    It's a bit pot, kettle, black, isn't it?

    It was posted on other competition sites, it's fair game IMO.
