    What about a separate section for FB comps.
    That could help the people who are not on FB and save time searching through the comps too
    Now that is a good idea.

    Short answer no.

    Long answer has been suggested before a few times. Problem is a lot of competitions now are multiple social media entry routes. So would you have one that was facebook only or what about rafflecopters where facebook is one of the entry routes? And what about twitter? Even more annoying at times that facebook.
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    If you don't like FB comps - just hit the red cross - how hard is that? Some don't like Twitter comps, some don't like rafflecopter comps, some don't bother with holiday/days out/dvd comps etc - if you don't want to enter a certain type of comp just red cross it and quit moaning!

    If you took all social media comps off the main board there wouldn't be more than 30/40 comps left per day!

    You can red cross what you don't want to enter then move on t the next etc.

    Honestly, can't say i've noticed this, and i don't enter those like and share/comment comps e.t.c

    I only enter the "app" comps and nothing that will come up in my feed.

    Just ignore the rest...
  • Well I don't usually enter FB competitions (sob stories are too much) unless it's FB App.
    However I often check them to see if the same competition is on Twitter so posting them is useful to me.
    I found a Whittard holiday comp today through checking out the terms on Moneybot's Whittard FB Comp to check if it was FB only. So thanks to all who post Facebook competitions. :T :T

    Perhaps though if someone finds the twitter/ Instagram competition after the original post and they are not the op they post it on a separate thread when the title only says FB and vice versa.

    As for separate section competitions for FB not unless on the main board first like gleam/rafflecopter. Then it's more work for someone else. Plus comps are sometimes posted without FB etc. in the title so you can imagine people posting in the wrong section and making work for the board guides moving them.

    No matter how strange the prize and what ever form it appears in there will be somebody on here would love to win it, so please keep posting every type of comp.
    I do it just for fun and whatever I win is a bonus

    I now feel the same way about twitter comps - just had a whole page of them.

    BTW I do appreciate all types of comps being posted but obviously I don't ever thank twitter comps because I don't open then just cross them.
