    I just have one observation, after all the blog comps that've been posted on MSE over the last few weeks -
    (And I thank you for them as I do enter :beer: )

    Why now that they aren't ??

    QUOTE=TickTwo;72022009]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[/QUOTE]

    I've won prizes this month which I absolutely love but don't add up to £50 previously to posting here I have won a huge amount more not taht I have to justify myself here but I was willing to win less so others can enter more.

    Now people have pushed me out you can probably understand I don't want to miss out

    Seriously I'm not having a go or asking you to justify anything, I appreciate all comps posted. It just seems a bit odd that they're annoyed now.

    Thanks for all of the ones you posted previously, I had a couple of small wins that made the toddlers in my family smile, I'll bow out :)

    That sounds lovely I assume you won't be posting competitions on here on your feed nor entering them then?

    Just found a thread on mumsnet in the AIBU section headed

    To wonder who these wonder women are who 'cook from scratch' every day

    How is that unreasonable to wonder?

    Maybe its really I can't find a section to post in I'll post here?

    Is it just me or has anyone else totally lost the plot of this thread?

    :o:rotfl::o

    Has anybody ever had a hissy fit said they are leaving MSE and actually done that?
    Or do they all just come back with a new name?

    It's just you ....

    It's all about the moral high ground and who can or cannot post competitions where.

    I think it has turned into a posting race but I might be wrong. If the competition is posted on mse first then it is ok for somebody to enter it but if they post it first on their tweeter thingy then it shouldn't be posted on mse.

    The only bit I don't get is how those of us not on Twitter ( and I fully accept that might only be me, the newt has an account) know if the competition has been posted there or not?

    To some up sharing is caring but my toys are my own.

    Right I'm bowing out of this thread so here's my take on it.

    As several people have pointed out, it's a bit odd that bloggers are getting annoyed about comps getting posted on here. Blog competitions have been posted on here for ages and any that have a problem have requested that they don't get posted on here. Have admin received any requests over the last few days requesting blog comps not to be posted on here? probably not but would happily be proved wrong.
    I smell something!
    Therefore, by non-scientific analysis I deduce a case of either -

    1. someone extracting the urine
    2. worrying paranoia issues
    3. some serious trolling
    4. delusion of grandeur
  • Hey

    Please do not stop posting all of the comps! We all really appreciate them and thank you.

    It's rubbish any blogger wouldn't want them shared for more hitsthat's what gleam and rafflecoptors are all about! Promotion.

    No one owns anything. Probably just want people to use their referal links so they get more entries themselves.
