    Question I still don't believe, I need Hexus Admins to answer this.

    Is sending three or more entries (with facebook) an instant disqualification in the competitions? Because I don't know what happen if I send a lot of entries.

    Re: I still don't believe, I need Hexus Admins to answer this.

    Only one entry per form will be counted, as stated in the Terms and Conditions on each competition page. The Term and Conditions do not make any reference to disqualification. I can't speak to how HEXUS would handle anything they felt was abuse of the system, I'm just a forum mod I don't work for them or anything to do with competitions. What happens if you send lots of entries? Only the first entry via each site; (FB & HEXUS) is counted, according to the T&C so basically, nothing really apart from some wasted time filling in forms.

    Why would you send three or more entries, unilever20?

    Forum Admins can't answer this any more than mods can, as we too are just forum members helping to run the forums, and have nothing to do with competitions. Competitions are run by company staff.

    I've referred this to someone that can answer it.

    I'm hoping it is. Instant blacklisting of the email address(es) used and the FB accounts would be nice too. Scamming is not cool. At all.

    Sending multiple entries is a part of spamming...

    If you used several FB accounts, all with different names, but all pointing to you, then a ban might well be in order

    Re: I still don't believe, I need Hexus Admins to answer this.

    Clumsily worded, but not difficult to understand:

    Only one entry is permitted per household per HEXUS entry form and winners will be notified within seven days of the competition closing date, second Facebook entries, if applicable, are permitted

    Simple - don't try and cheat.

    We have several things we do to monitor entries but we won't be making them public because no doubt someone will try and get around them.

    What is there not to believe?
    It says one entry per household, but on some competitions you can get a free second entry through using the Facebook link.

    If you find this puzzling, you're probably getting the answers wrong anyway.
