    takes me long enough to catch up on threads I want to read (that I've posted on) - let alone do competitions, or play big snap, so I don't know if I could fit in trawling through bargins as well! If you need more volunteers I would offer my services and give it a go though?

    don't think I have enough posts though! how is that fair? I'm not good enough cos I don't make enough posts :(

    Understand first point about forum.

    So these "Special ones" will have a button added so that they can inform the editorial team about bargains mentioned on MSE.
    In theory good idea but like before if a bargain is only there for a matter of minutes what good is that?
    Is this going to be spread throughout the whole of MSE or just on Quick Grabbit while you can
    This is open to abuse and will lead to a lot of people arguing over trivial things.
    Will not PM Andrea, will just watch from the sidelines as anarchy descends.
    You just don't get it, do you? If something comes up that expires in a couple of hours, it isn't going to be included in the weekly email anyway. These people aren't being given any special privileges, either. You are just as capable of trawling the MSE forums looking for great offers as these 100 people are. If you bothered to actually read what has been put (which apparently you haven't) you would have seen that you need to tell them which parts of MSE you spend most time in, so they can build a team that covers as much of MSE as possible.

    So, what exactly ARE you whining about? :confused:

    If you want to help out, send a PM. If you don't... don't! :D
    Thanks to all who post constructively.

    Its rather frustrating to do something with some of these comments. Currently we ask regulars to let us know if they spot something good. Now we're giving some regulars a button to automate it - to make the process quicker.

    To be honest Martin I dont know why you are replying, you and the team have made a decision to add something extra to the site.........you dont need peoples approval, your site do what the heckers you like and ignore the moaners :D

    :T :T :T :T Well said. Anything that makes it easier for Martin and the team to include things for us all in the weekly email the better for all of us. Obvious anyone of the 100 or the Martin's team are not going to include something in a weekly email that is going to expire before we all get a chance to see it on the email.

  • This sounds like a great idea to me, get the good items mentioned in the weekly email.

    Yep just to say I think a few people may've been put off by the idea this is lots of work. It's not - its just an extra button like thanks to click :)

    Why are some people so negative? It sounds like a really good idea, with the amount of offers posted on these boards I can imagine the MSE Team and a lot of people on MSE miss a few so this is a good way of making sure we don't miss out on really good ones.

    I love MSE (probably a little too much :o) but there are some seriously miserable people on here sometimes :mad:

    I'm going to PM Andrea :D
    :heart: Think happy & you'll be happy :heart:
    I :heart2: my doggies
  • Bingo Hayley!!

    So, MSE Team, when will you be letting applicants know? Shall we try and blag free suits and stuff for a formal interview? Prove our mettle?!

    Not being negative or miserable.
    Have to admit that I read the initial and subsequent posts incorrectly.
    I read and understood differently.
    Now after reading, digesting and understanding correctly I can now see the idea. :think: :doh:
    So, after very disturbing PM's I have now realised the idea and would like to apologise for getting everyones back up. :embarasse
    Not intentional and never meant to offend.
    So please no more PM's as as I never knew that you could cause so much hatred. :silenced:
