Slow down!!!!

Just a warning to comp slow folks.

I just got myself a block for comping too fast.
That is funny in it's self the speed I comp :rotfl:

Not seen this happen for a while. :(

So much for trying to get Friday done :o

How long do the blocks last? :eek:

    The Comping Police are out in force again! I got an email the other day from Chief Superintendent Grobbelar of the Strathclyde Police Comping division asking me in all honesty, as a 30 something year old man, if I really needed those sanitary towels in a competition I had entered and if I wouldn't be better off leaving that kind of competition when there are so many needy ladies out there.

    Was that someone commenting on facebook? I do notice there's a lot of people policing one another. I recently won a comp for baking a cake and had random people asking me for evidence I'd baked it myself. Which had they looked at my original entry would have seen was all there anyway.

    Ooops sorry I was blocked on FaceBook, but like someone above said I went of and Twittered and when I came back the block had been lifted :T

    So just a warning to me to slow down ;)

    Haha, no, I was just joking :)
  • I'm not sure if my problem is similar but I am not able to press the x at the top of each post.

    Ive been catching up on some comps this morning all working fine and then when I tried to press the x the page just keeps reloading without it being highlighted.
