"I admit it, I’m a secret, but lapsed, comper. Admittedly work and kids mean I’ve not comped (entered competitions) much lately but I encourage my kids to have a go when we see a free one and I’d encourage anyone else to join in too..."

    Comping has been ruined by the "serial compers" who enter every single competition whether they want the prize or not.

    The community there even gives a shout out if prize winners haven’t yet claimed, so if you’re a comper it’s well worth bookmarking.

    The community does but MSE seem to be blocking it - threads giving a shout out to Kiss winners have been locked and the long running FB winners thread has been removed.

    I just wanted to know why the Facebook winners thread has been removed?

    I have asked for it to be moved to CCC as my OCD couldn't cope with it being on the main board.

    Just moved to Compers Chat Corner :)

    I wasn't aware of threads being removed. I'm looking into that.

    Still haven't used the Bella Italia voucher, at least it's an almost free meal coming up soon - no cooking for mum - yay :)

    Congrats on your Bella Italia voucher!

    Just a quick question.... any news re you looking into removed threads? Only asking as it was handy having threads to check re possible wins.

    Thank you!

    I didn't realise that the FB winners thread was gone.
    Surely that's part of our comping community?
    We help each other by finding and posting comps, answers, corrections etc. and then we help each other again by making sure people don't miss out on wins.....
