First thing is if this post is not allowed on MSE then please BG's/forum team take it off.
I don't know if you are aware that since April when twitter tightened their spam filter lots of compers not all have been put on what's called a shadowban. This means that twitter mutes your account so your tweets are not seen by many people at all.
Thanks to a lovely blogger who had a look at one of her comps she is running to see if my tweet entries are showing in the raff as I am shadowbanned got back to me & said no, they are not showing in the raff & she could not even find my twitter name on twitter.
So unfortunately some people can not enter your comps on a daily basis anymore by tweeting the comp. So I was wondering if you could help us compers out by adding in a different way to share your comps daily?. Some good ones would be like & comment on a FB page daily, or heart & comment on a inst post daily, thumbs up & or watch a video on your yutube account, Klout you daily (No this is not actually hitting anyone!) anything like that would be fab because then the people who are shadowbaned can still enter your comps daily & share your blogs.
I would normally tweet about this but at the moment it's like shouting into a empty bucket!.
Yes people who are shadowbaned do get their twitter accounts back in 24-48 hours but as soon as they start tweeting comp links again get banned once more, yes some people are doing OK & can still tweet daily but so many of us now aren't & we would love to enter your comps daily.
Thanks for reading & your time if you could spread the word to other bloggers too that would also help

Some good ones would be like & comment on a FB page daily
Isn't asking people to like a fb page o get a comp entry against facebooks t&c's? iirc that's why some gleam/rafflecopter comps ask people to visit fb pages to get entries & only suggest liking.
Don't know if asking for people to like and comment on a random post each day would be ok or not."And suddenly I find myself listening to a man I've never known before,Telling me about the sea..."0 -
I've also contacted Super Lucky Di & she is going to pass the info onto her blogger groups too. Fingers crossed we see other daily entries apart from tweeting appear on raffs & gleams soon
If the bloggers don't know twitter has changed it's spam rules/filter then they can't help but I'm hoping they will now they know
Can't think of anything else I can do at the mo fingers crossed this helps

There is a thread about it here.
Personally, I go to an incognito window, go to twitter and in the search box, I type "From:MyUserName". If I am shadowbanned, I don't get any results. If I am not, my tweets show up.0 -
Huge Thank You to all bloggers who are now adding an additional daily entry other than tweeting on twitter :j
I'm really enjoying the other daily options because I get to see what your all up to which is far more personal than a generic tweet
Please pass on the info about Twitter changing it's spam rules & that tweeting lots of links gets your account muted & your not seen or entries going into raffs & gleams.
Thank You :beer:It's TicketyBoo To Be TickTwo!0 -
Another huge thank you to all the bloggers for adding a different daily entry on their competitions. Seen a couple of new ones this week.
First one is just a form with your name email address
Second one is a daily comment on the comp post
Anything like this is hugely welcome as now twitter has changed it's spam rules saying multiple tweeting of links is classed as spam & your account is muted so only a handful of people can see you & your entries into raffs & gleams don't show.
If you could keep passing this on it would be great
No doubt see you around soon :beer:It's TicketyBoo To Be TickTwo!0 -
I'm part of Family Clan, we used to have loads of daily options, but we got a lot of negative feed back saying we had too many, as a fellow compete I love the option to do extra daily tasks to get extra entries, so more chances of winning. What's other compete views?
We have pin images, comment on another post & share options apart from Twitte.[FONT="]"Isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?" - Lucy Maud Montgomery :hello:[/FONT]
:T:jThank you to all the competition posters, you are all brilliant! :j:T0 -
I find anything more than one daily task too time consuming and have stopped entering on the blogs that have too many. I can't be bothered to compete against people who do loads. It doesn't leave you time to actually read anything on the blog either.2018 - £562 2019 - £130 2020 - £276 2021 - £106 2022 - £1400
