Offers & Competitions Section

[factor-fiction]

Maybe this new Topic area needs promoting or scrapping. It was used for a while for its intended purpose but the last dozen or so posts over the last few weeks have all been Q&P questions or request for Mail Reward numbers.

The first Q & Ps get everywhere, they're like weeds!

Don't know where 'first' came from

I think the title leads some to think it means any competition - quiz, prize crossword etc and they fail to read the guidelines at the top.


Q&P'ers whilst everywhere, form a large part of this site.

I agree Mamya. I doubt many people see/read the instructions/guidance notes on each page in their eagerness to post.
We have had a couple of proper Offers & Comp posts today so the section does seem to have life in it after all

Offers & Competitions only, no quiz questions
Could it be any simpler than that?
Do they not read the instructions?

[Mamyalynne]

" they fail to read the guidelines at the top " obviously, it's a mistake on the posters part.

Hi Baldric.
The Ed's note saying "NOTE: this is not a place to ask Quiz and Puzzles question, or to give complete sets of answers to crosswords or quizzes. " comes after the Enter Question title box, and so the poster will usually start typing without reading all the blurb below. And once you type a title the question box opens and pushes the instructions down/off the page.
