    when i first came on here from lurking a long time ago, i found it very useful to use the search button to help me find the reg posters of comps etc, even though the comps have changed a lot since then the basic's are still there, eg: if you put Real Deal in a list comes up & shows the majority of the Real Deal postings with the same name as in Divided, GMTV, regular mag postings etc, as weeowen says when we are new we all need time to find out how the boards work & even when we've been here a while we all still need to keep up with the comp guide, i believe most comp forums work this way
    & catowen, i think that's a brilliant idea..

    "This is why, it is much better, just for these TV comps be left to those who post them regularly - maybe we need it added to Velvet Gloves comp sticky for those who do read it - they are the only comps that are better left to one person at a time and although no competition should be 'owned' by one person, maybe with these there is a case for the TV comps."

    perhaps it would also maybe a good idea if there could be a 1st page for TV Comps as there is on the postcard/text, puzzler & Take a Break monthly's then
    maybe it would help everyone much easier :confused:
    just MHO anyway x

    a bit like they have on another forum - it seems to work well too. There is just one thread for the comps from that show so you know when its been posted, which day it is and when it ends (as well as the answers of course:D). Also means the comps dont get bumped unless the comp is just been posted:D

    I think its a good idea but not sure bout what other people think:D

    don't know about that hj, i mean a 1st page like we have on here for the postcard/phone, like princesspixiedust does, Aggie does for the Take a Break & i've done for the puzzler, then catowen could put who mostly posts them for the TV comps etc :confused: & everyone could find it easier, [STRIKE]or do you mean that as well[/STRIKE] :D


    *edit, sorry, have just reread & understand now, yes, great idea hj xx

    It seems some people are just not very grateful for all the work and posting of comps that cat does for us.

    I have sometimes duplicated a comp and have never felt unwelcome or made to feel small.

    All this carping gives bad karma can't we all just be grateful to cat for posting the majority of the TV comps etc and any other regulars that post regular comps?

    Thanks for that got it off my chest now.
    If at first you don't succeed try, try, try again.

    Please can the discussion be discussed in the discussion thread to stop this being bumped so much?

    Just to be a little contentious, where are all the people who think anyone should post it :rolleyes:

    Is there any need for this comment.

    Sarcastic remarks or language like this are not productive.

    Pls be nice to all MoneySavers.

    :confused: Maybe im stupid, but what was the sarcastic remark or language?

    This disscussion is now in disscussion time, if anyone else wants to comment, would be more productive than continuously bumping this thread!
