Thread here https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4504813

Are we actually helping by expiring comps to get them moved to game over or would you prefer to do it en mass yourselves?

bargainhuntergal raises the question whether it should be left you or not #152 and it would be great to have some clarification.

Thank you :)

Edit: Have pm'd the bgs with a link to this thread :)

    Personally I think the fact we're clicking expired helps them out, as majority of the tonnes of comps will be moved to GO, without them having to seek them out, as they do so much for us already xx
    I love this board, have "virtually" met so many lovely people, people I am honoured to count as friends.

    What I will say as have had a few of my posts moved to GO prematurely is that we should take 2 or 3 seconds to check the link and ensure it is one for GO

    unsure of it I leave it :)

    A couple were mentioned and we all checked but non of us had clicked them. I think there's always a couple that sent over prematurely for some obscure reason or accidentally clicked by peeps entering.

    My feeling is that the benefits of us helping outweigh the amount of work it places on the bgs :)

    to be honest if we move to GO we can move 200 at a time so it doesn't take much longer to move them all than it does to move just the few left :)

    some do get missed though if the titles are slightly wrong or the pages jump, (and sometimes there isn't time to do them on a daily basis :o) so if you see any whilst comping that are still on the main board and it isn't taking up too much of your time please press expire, every little helps :D
