Is it time to identify competition sites in title?

ergomaniac

It seems that there are an increasing number of those competition raffle type sites and posts on our forum. I don't enter these and know quite a few others don't either. I wonder if it would be useful to be able to identify these types of competitions from the titles like we do for MD, RC, X, IG, Prizedeck, Sweepwidget etc. What does everyone else think?

Yes I think that's a top idea. Saves alot of clicking.

I agree, I never enter those types of competitions, they make me vaguely uneasy. How about adding RF to the title?

Yes, please 
I was about to post that thread titles seem to be lacking in important info these days and there's a lot of unnecessary clicking having to be done.

Thanks for adding the RS to the title of the raffle site comps, this makes it so much easier to skip them.

I appreciate some people like to ignore the raffle sites and the RS is useful for that, the problem I have is there are certain raffle sites I trust and like to enter the free draws from, since the RS was added posts are no longer mentioning which site it is in the title, so I'm having to open all of them in the hope one may be for me. Could I please request that the site name returns to the post title.

On the general competition boards the site name would not be included in the thread title, and I'm not sure they ever have been, even for the raffle sites. By the time you have the end date, the prize description and the RS etc, there really wouldn't be much chance of adding the site name to most of the titles due to the character limit.

Are you possibly thinking of the advent competitions which were running throughout December? These would have the company name in the title with the competitions posted as comments, as they would be expected to post various competitions, maybe daily/weekly etc. for the month.

I have to agree but I understand the using the Raffle Sites know, trust and are already signed up to, as there are s many now.

@roman1 Have you considered making a list of those that you have joined and trust? Then visit these sites daily for to check for freebies - you can always then search for them here afterwards to tick them off if you wanted to record it but you often can't claim more than limit of free tickets anyway. I find this the easier way considering the mass of sites there now are.
