I love comping and have just returned to it again... everytime I return to it there are more social media comps (compared to none when I first started). Now it seems nearly all comps involve social media... it looks like i'm on a shadow ban again on twitter... thinking to myself am I wasting my time
but its a hobby I enjoy... I really like doing blog competitions but now just don't know... I am an old school comper struggling to come round haha! any tips at all? I have a public group on facebok that I share to and on twitter I try to reply to tweets aswel as retweeting. thinking of just doing the blog comps but no point if even that leads to shadow ban... i've looked at tips and think i've done what I can so thought I would reach out to the lovely forum that started me out on comps 10 years or so ago! thanks in advance


Thanks to everyone that posts :T:money:

I don't win much on twitter, so have given up unless it is an amazing prize. I still tweet on some rafflecopter and gleam comps, but try to do a maximum of six in any hour, to avoid getting shadowbanned.
Good luck.0 -
Thank you Marg2k8 I think I may stick to my rafflecopter/gleams but avoid the usual retweet comps. Theres still names on here I recognise from years ago so that has to be a good thing. I stopped last time as I wasn't enoying it anymore even thogh I had a steady flow of wins every month... apart from the annoying shadow ban I am enjoying it again (even with the no wins)Thanks to everyone that posts :T:money:

Hi Laura I'm not an expert or anything but I haven't had a shadow ban since I stopped doing Gleam and Rafflecopter competitions, I do straight Twitter comps, vary the comment. There is also a site called Social Media Checker, which is as it says a Twitter health checker, sorry I don't know how to post links. I hope this helps you some, doesn't help with the not winning though
:D

I'ts more than likely the gleam and rafflecopter posts causing your shadow ban. Vary your tweets and replys and take a break from twitter every so often and you should be fine xYou never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

Hey Laura, I wondered where you had been - I also recently returned to comping (I had different username before). Still son RC comps even if you are on a shadow ban, they follow the link you post and that will still show even while you are on a ban. I kept getting banned at first when I restarted, but i just took it slowly and replied to tweets more etc and now I don’t seem to get banned, and I enter all the blogs etc x0
