New Amazon sub-board?

savemoney

Is it so hard to post in right forum, it seem so for some people at least

Perhaps you would be happy find motoring questions in DIY forum, DIY forum in shop n drop etc etc.

Antispam

Yes she is the forum queen. She is very helpful on the forums

dmg24 - you have been thanked, on average, twice for every post (often by OPs who like your rude comments about others). savemoney and antispam haven't even been been thanked that much. I have been thanked, on average, four times for every post and have not posted a rude comment (apart from this one, perhaps).

I say this not to blow any kind of trumpet of my own (there are many others on these boards who have given far more) but to expose you for who you are.

this is a very strange thread, and quite irritating.

this forum is for posting grabbits, not ideas. sorry to be blunt, but if you want to start an amazon thread, you at least need to have one grabbit to begin the thread with.

as for the idea, i probably would post seperately, because the price is low for a very very short time, usually hours at the most, and i like to put the item for sale as the title so people know what it is immediately.

that's my opinion anyway.

Absoloutley 100% against this idea.

In fact, I wish the site team would delete the Argos sub-board and let the topicds merge with the rest of the forum.

I never see any Argos bargains as they're posted in the Argos section which I don't read as I never intend to specifically shop at Argos. If deals were posted in the "Quick grab it while you can" forum, I'd see them.

No wonder people are being put off this website!

savemoney, Antispam & dmg24 seem more concerned about being some form of 'forum police' than recognising people's efforts to contribute to the money-saving aim of this website.

I wasn't sure I was posting in the right place but your rude replies were unnecessary.

why are you counting the thanks and analysing it?
it's not going to hold up in a court of law.
they were only trying to help by pointing out the obvious, you haven't behave very graciously imo.

i agree with this.

Be careful not to disagree with KingCampo, he'll be compiling stats on you next!

On a side note, you cannot compare the ratio of thanks between somebody that has posted 40 times (yes, count them, all 40!) to somebody that has posted 12,000 times - but then why let that spoil a good old rant?! :rolleyes:

Can I have another side note please? I don't care about post or thanks counts, but I do hate it when people use stats badly - the OP should be a journalist!

Poppycat

Maybe they are DMG Rarely gets facts right of a good story and post inaccurate stats

Nice smile Antispam self portrait perhaps
