You guys should allow Sharing to be done automatically, without the window popping up. As long as the competition is restricted to one sign-up per user, the page shouldn't get banned for misuse.
@KamadakeMT I agree, that would be nice, but Facebook's Promotion Guidelines require that the user must always have the ability to skip sharing or publishing. Automated publishing without permission isn't allowed at this time. Thanks! - Jim
@ultraweaver For entries you can limit based on one entry per email address (no duplicates). We have more control over voting, where you can limit votes by frequency.
@TvAapKa - Yep! you can use the contesting features with our free plan. The only thing you won't get is database storage, so each entry will be emailed to you instead. Thanks! - jim
@filmdentom Yep, you could do an "essay" style contest where a user could add text to a paragraph field. When designing your form, add the fields that you want to include then configure that field to "Display in Voting Widget". Thanks! - Jim
How do you chose a winner of the promotions? I have their emails address that they are submitting.

What options, if any, are there on sweeps entry rules and validation? Example... One entry per email address per day.
