in Compers chat corner
on MSE and then enter ones posted on here with minutes of them being posted?

Just seeing if the whole AIBU might catch on here. Do hope it's not TM mumsnet.

    Depends if it is self promotion, I do a comp on social media and ask for it not to be posted onto mse as I abide by the self promo rule.

    Even if someone else posts it here I don't want the flack of someone saying it's a reg compers comp hoo ha so I always ask for it not to be posted here but all welcome itms.

    Love mumsnet Aibu.

    I can see that makes sense, the self promotion rules are tricky.

    I really meant just random blog competitions. Just came across a twitter account that posts a lot of competitions but ask for them not to be posted on here. Can't be self promotion with that many comps.

    That's an odd one, only 1 acct I know of that has something like that on it as that is a poster who doesn't post here anymore if you get my drift, think last 4 days.

    If it isn't that one then no idea why they would have that.

    Seams to happen when members get peeved with the forum. Seen it twice before and again today. Not sure if it's always the same person.

    Having said that previously I'm sure it was male [STRIKE]member.[/STRIKE]

    Edit opps can't believe I posted that without noticing the single entendre

    Please stop posting my competitions from my twitter account to MSE moneybot.

    You are more than welcome to enter anything I tweet but the pinned tweet is there for a reason.

    I am getting so many blogs/company's not wanting me to enter their comps because they get a lot of spam entries that are coming from MSE

    Thank You

    Tick two sincerely they didn't mean you.

    You have misread this like I initially did. I know who they are referring to and it isn't you.

    I may of toniq but when I post a blog comp on my twitter feed withing minuets it's been posted here by moneybot both yersterday evening & today. If they are not getting them directly from my twitter feed then it's someone who is following me very closely indeed!

    Search yourself's it's not difficult otherwise i would not be doing it!

    Maybe sort this out with Moneybot via pm, otherwise you will get loads of people jumping in with their tuppence and you might get upset again.

    Let them they only show them self's up.

    As I said the pinned tweet is there for a reason, company's don't want spam entries you know yourself toniq as in a previous post about twitter comps you have had to block people

    But by doing this publicly as I just said elsewhere comps board is going to yellow card heaven.

    Anyhows I need to comp before school run.

    My twitter comment is regarding my tweets being retweet enmasse.

    I literally has 25 odd bots hit 1 tweet last night before I deleted it, that type of thing would pee companies off.
