On entering giveaways on BlytheLife.com…

It’s pretty much ridiculous that I need to mention this:
But if you are caught cheating for more entries on giveaways hosted on BlytheLife.com, you will be permanently banned from future giveaways and all of the entries on the giveaway you are found cheating on will also be removed from the giveaway.
I send out an email and give the potential offender 24 hours to respond in case of a misunderstanding, I don’t just delete the entries straightaway. Those who are unable to provide me with a sufficient reason as to why I should allow any of the entries to stay will be considered banned.
In this day and age, I should not have to tell people that cheating is not allowed or even have to police this.
You will be suspected of cheating if you comment for entries with a) different names but the same email address or b) have the same IP address as ‘someone else’ who has entered. I don’t like having to check through dozens of entries to ensure that everyone has legitimate entries, but I do so in order to ensure that everyone has a fair chance of winning.
People who are banned from entering giveaways will not be banned from commenting on other posts, but if they attempt to enter giveaways, their entries will be removed/not counted.
And I don’t want this to be a negative post, I would like to thank everyone who has been following the rules and not trying to cheat their way into extra entries in the giveaways that I host here on BlytheLife.com with the help of the beloved interviewees.
Please remember that BlytheLife.com is a not-for-profit website. I don’t make any money from running this website and I would like to ask that you show some respect and appreciation for the time that I have spent building this website but also the efforts of everyone else who graciously allow me to interview them and help sponsor/provide prizes for the giveaways hosted here.
Some people will do anything to win. I play Lexulous and am always amazed how some low-rated players beat the heck out of me. I can’t be bothered to figure out how to cheat. Where’s the fun in that? Good luck with this and please don’t stop the giveaways!
