To ask on here for votes?

[lisad123]

I have entered a comp from a holiday company. The prize is a voucher for a cottage type break away.
A few years back my family, sparklyGothKats family and Misdee family did a cottage holiday together which was wonderful. We really want to do it again and if we win, we could.
Wibu to ask for votes on here given that we are all mnEtters?

Well, is it allowed? Mnhq have rules.. Ask them

Well I haven't put link so haven't broken rules

They took a voting page down yesterday because someone reported it unfortunately.

Yes I suppose it's a bit unfair...

Yabu

Yes YWBU. It's got to be one rule for everyone and voting threads are usually deleted sharpish. I don't like rules much but I've got to say that I'd hate to see MN littered with voting "opportunities". No matter how much I'd like to see an individual poster win a holiday.

I look forward to each of you slagging each other on AIBU during and after the holiday.

It does sound a bit unfair OP

I honestly don't see much difference between this and asking on FB, work friends, families ect. But hey rules are rules

I'd vote if you sent me the link :)

There's thousands of us... And it mnhq allowed it, active convos may get taken over as word got round

Yes but you wouldn't all vote

I honestly don't see much difference between this and asking on FB, work friends, families ect

It's totally different though, isn't it? Your Facebook page is personal. Presumably you'll ask people at work and family face-to-face. It's nothing like asking a forum full of people who don't know you whether they'd cast a vote for someone known only to them by a username! Also, as Olympia says, once it gets allowed there's real potential for thousands of these requests to flood the board.

Yes but you wouldn't all vote

But we'd have to see the board clogged up with begging voting requests, wouldn't we?

PS. There's such a thing as private messaging on MN. If you are certain that your request will be well received by whoever you contact, why not send them a link that way?

There was a phase of people asking on chat for kids in some photo contest too. And very boring it was .

Not that I can't see why you wouldn't want to win. , just not place to ask.

Goodness PM all the mnetters that know us, might take a few months

Hi lisad123,

As much as we would love you and all of you lovely MNetters to win everything you enter, as others have said, we can't allow 'vote for me' type threads.

There are just too many folks who would love to win luffly stuff or vote for their charity etc we would be inundated with requests and it would make a nonsense of the Talk boards.

We wish you lots of luck with this and we do hope that you win.

Thats the nicest telling off I have had

We aim to please
