    Post Competitions

    Hello

    I'm a newbie here so this may be a noob question, but I'll ask
    I saw that, after you enter a competition, the site tells you, that you entered successfully and that your entry has been logged.
    Well thats ok, BUT...
    When you delete the cookies in your web browser you can enter again.
    Does this mean that somebody can have for example: 100 entries in a competition??
    Does the site filters duplicate entries or it is permitted to have 100 entries in a competition?

    Re: Competitions

    Before, you could enter as many times as you wanted without any message appearing, but your entries were only counted once.

    Now, the system warns you that your entry has already been counted. If you want to circumvent that warning, you can do, but it won't change the ultimate result - only one entry will be counted.

    Does that mean if you submit an entry and realise that you answered the question incorrectly that you can enter again with the correct answer and have your first submission removed?

    Well I can only hope it works that way, though the contest has already ended now and I didn't win!
