Duplicates

Feedback

Hiya,

I was going to share a deal for Graze, so checked to see if there were any others and there seem to be quite a few duplicates for the free Graze box: https://www.latestdeals.co.uk/?search=graze

Hi, just to make you aware of the guidelines; Deals, vouchers and freebies can be posted again after a 30 day period. This is because some people who browse the site won't be using the search function and they may not have the time or want to browse through lots of pages.

So I posted the B&M £100 Voucher Competition and I did notice there was one before that, but that one was over 4 months ago.

"Thanks for sharing your recent competition - Sign up to B&M Newsletter for a Chance to Win £100 in Vouchers. Unfortunately, it looks like you were pipped to the post this time as someone had already shared it. To avoid duplicates, we try to work on a first come, first serve basis. Whilst we’ve had to remove your post this time we’re already looking forward to your next one!"

This normally only applies to monthly posts but now it's posts with four months? Smh.

Hey Rockman it is 1 month will all other posts but competitions have ended up with slightly different rules.

It was actually something we introduced after feedback from compers - apparently lots of competitions disqualify people for multiple entries. And the general consensus was that a competition should only be on the site once.

Kelsey So possibly for the duration of seven years without ever updating it, if it goes on? Rules are rules, so thanks for clarifying that.

Rockman Ah so I think I misunderstood the situation as my initial thought was "Surely no competition would last that long!" But it appears this one is actually a monthly competition - with a winner each month and that it lasts indefinitely.

On face value it doesn't seem like our current system handles that very well.

Perhaps such competitions should be shared with the closest expiration date (i.e. a month in this case) so that they can then be reshared.

If any compers stop by this topic please do share your thoughts! 👍

This is not a duplicate Mentor please double check, as the other one is for Smarties! 😀

As for my above comment this has now been approved and live,

Thank you.

There were recently a spate of deals of the same product but different variety. E.g. Reduced crisps but each flavour was posted as a separate deal, same with dolmio sauces and normal and light version of same butter etc. Personally I don't think this should be allowed as it is quite a lot of points for very little input when others spend time and patience rooting out decent, different deals for their three a day.
