A question about : What's your pet hate about comping?
I have 2:
1. Captchas where they want them entered in a certain format but don't stipulate it. If they're case sensitive, say so
2. Address forms that require all lines to be filled in when your address doesn't have that many lines
Best answers:
- like & share comps on facebook
waiting for prizes to arrive - Voting / most like / 100th liker comps
Comps that insist on you using a mobile number. I prefer to keep that number for select family / friends - What's your pet hate about comping?
CAPTCHA's
Should We Kill the CAPTCHA?

- Brill thread
Can I reserve the right to come back when I've thought of more? But for now I'll just do one.
When the comps that require the most effort seem to be the ones for the smaller prizes. - Getting an email with the name of the comp as the subject only for the body of the email to be 'unfortunately' 'sorry' 'better luck next time' etc
- Ooh, yes, I'd forgotten that, that's a good one!
- Blog competitions that require you to follow every single site their connected with for a ridiculously small prize
- Entering a comp, then realising its past the end date. Ive done that a few times when Ive not been careful.
- 1, CAPTA! jeez it annoys me
2, compers argueing/falling out. Its like a soap opera sometimes
3, prizes going missing in post - December 1st
- Comps where the "First name" field is letters only. I have a hyphen in my first name!
I know it's all down to the coding but it's so annoying! - Comps where there's no T & Cs, so no end date, or the T & Cs relate to a totally different comp is another one.
- I hate having to provide my birthdate. Surely the year would be sufficient?
