    I can't remember the companies name, but they blocked a lot of compers a few years ago on twitter- they ran comps for headphones/earphones. they did not like 'compers' very much.

    I forget which site it was, but there was a blogger who took exception to his comps being posted on MSE, threw a hissy fit and banned several MSErs, myself included, from entering his comps in future.

    I got blocked by a FB page when I posted in support of someone they'd announced as a winner, then gone back on it as they said she hadn't liked their page. (She had, and shared with screenshots to prove it showing time & date, but FB wasn't showing it their end.)


    I've also been blocked on Twitter when I tried to pass on some news to someone who wasn't on FB and I knew they'd want to know. That one still baffles me :(

    Not comp related, but I got banned (my only ban) on social media by Lakelovers holiday cottages for posting a review on one of their awful, mucky so-called "luxury" holiday cottages. Wouldn't touch them again with a barge pole ...

    Was it something like 8/eight ball earphone? I think I was banned for same reason. :rotfl:
