I was asking how a fellow entrant could know if I had shared or not..

The same way a promoter can. By looking at the public shares

yes and different email addresses

Entering using four different names is cheating! What goes around comes around....

If you are entering a facebook comp under 4 different user names then you are a cheat.

The comp said share post, nothing on how it must be shared

Agreed, I only enter under one name.

Not sure if it's different on a mobile device but if I click on where it tells you the number of shares on my desktop PC a list comes up of where they were shared to & the symbol indicating if public/friends etc. I often share to a group to avoid them going on my feed & it actually shows the group name on the list. Not sure what info the promoter has but I guess other entrants can check this same way

Ignoring that it is against FB rules to require a "share", you have not shared something if only you have seen it (if you have a cake and eat it all you haven't "shared" it) but obviously promoters want a public share and it is easy for them and other entrants to check if they can see the share - if the promoter checks then obviously they can just pick another winner, sometimes promoters haven't checked but you can bet other entrants will (sometimes the more dodgy pages are caught out that way).

Bit harsh, OP never suggested they enter the competition 4 times, simply that they have 4 different accounts with 4 different email addresses (each with a different use, only 1 is for comping).

I don't know how the sharing thing works though I generally tend to shy away from Facebook Share comps.
