Whats going on with the Freebie Board?
Comments

I think one of the issues is the popularity of the board, so many users posting and not enough moderators to guide them.
There also seems to be an issue with people thinking the whole MSE forums are just the freebies board, there are many other forums, including one for disscusion of the site itself, as mentioned above, which I guess this thread should really be in?0 -

im also starting to wonder if sevral of the disruptors are different people or one person with sevral IDs REALLY tryin' to make it difficult - funny how mrsdinozzo, James_N, and DJBenson all suddenly seem to appear from nowhere an' then be "talking to each other" late at night.
they (or 1 person) also seem REALLY keen to "report" things at the slightest opportunity - tryin' to prove they/he is legit maybe? Its the Mods i feel really sorry for having to deal with them.
I can assure you I am my own person - the sooner you realise that you are the one trolling, abusing people via PM's and generally being rather rude the better it will be for everyone concerned. If you are really worried - email your friends at MSE and ask them to check the IP addresses of the posters. In fact I am more than happy to post my own IP address, do you think I have nothing better to do than make up several ID's on a discussion forum just to wind you up? Grow up!!
As previously said - it's a case of the pan calling the kettle black with you - you are more than happy to report people for "abuse" but should anybody report you (and YOU are the one being abusive - the problem is you can't handle somebody telling you that you are in the wrong) then they are "childish" and "immature".
Hopefully you will still have me on your ignore list so this post will only be read by people who really should know what sort of person they are dealing with.
I have no sympathy for the staff because they have chosen to ignore several reports of your behaviour so they are making a rod for their own back. For the past 4-5 days, threads which are sparking heated debate seem to have some input from you.
Wind your neck in, and if you must stay, use the site in the spirit that it is intended - not somewhere for you to pretend you are judge, jury and executioner.0 -
Had to share this...:rotfl: DJ Benson... but the problem poster seems to think that I...(little old me)..:p is...in fact...you!!!! In fact, he/she felt it was such an issue..he/she actually PM'd me about it...All these years since I left school and I've never once had to use Algebra0

oh for heaven's sake I know school is out but we are all supposed to be adults here
If you have a problem with a thread/post or user, report to abuse and let them deal with it and give them time to do so. All these threads on Freebies is doing no-one any favours least of all MSE as a whole.0 -
if they are a multiple then martin will know as they will all have the same IP so don't worry yourt little head
I personally love mse. I've made some new friends who like me are happy to share their fortunes and coupons! And theres always a report on whats in the papers and if there are any free holidays going.
people need to chill sometimes. It's not real life, its the internet. In the grand scheme of things, it isn't important.I can be brown I can be blue I can be violet and sky. I can be hurtful I can be purple I can be anything you like..Gotta be green gotta be mean gotta be everything more...0 -
Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Quick Grabbit, Freebies, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning and the UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.
If you need any help on these boards, do let me know. Please note that Ambassadors are not moderators. Any posts you spot in breach of the Forum Rules should be reported via the report button, or by emailing forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com.

trouble is these disruptors drive other peeps off the BB by lying to the Mods, who get fooled by it
oh my god, this is driving me insane, you are the one thats getting on everyones nerves. I havent entered into any of these debates up until now but I cant hold my tongue any longer. why do u think your account gets deleted? i hope they delete you again. your name appears in every single thread with arguments in, coincidence? i dont think so. stop calling people trolls and saddos. if people are in fact spamming, or using 2 seperate usernames (dont know why someone would do that?!) my advice to you is to ignore it as you dont seem to be able to voice an opinion without being insulting or rude.
oh and dont bother to pm me with nastiness, i wont read it.
i urge everyone to put you on their ignore lists and then the problem is solved!What matters most is how well you walk through the fire0 -
This wasting_noalibi/wasting_noalibis guy is a; waste_of space on this site!0
