All due respect, but even I wasn't sure what you meant by Red Shops (hence the PM I've sent you - the cheap designer store could be classed as red as well?), so if I'd seen the catalogue shops I'd probably have posted an alert fir them as well. And they posted them at the same time as each other, give or take a minute - genuine mistake, no need to get your knickers in a twist, UKM!! :rotfl::rotfl:

Yeah fair point about them posting within a minute of each other. It's a little annoying to receive an email alert, to log on and check the thread and it's a duplicate of my post, to receive another email alert within seconds, to check the site and it''s a duplicate of the duplicate.

I can now laugh at myself, but it's still annoying!

Your point about my being ambiguous in my alert; we need to be ambiguous without being unhelpful. Ok, so there are more than one red-logo'd shop on ABA-i but their site is very quick (IMO) so it takes seconds to find which one it is.).

I dunno if everyone will just think I'm being petty, but when [more than one] post on the alerts thread say "fruity phones on ABA-i" you might as well go ahead you are as good as naming the client IMO, which is agains tthe T&C's of most MSing companies, which we've all agreed to when we signed up.

I'm no angel, I don't profess to be, and I'm also a relative newbie (into my 3rd month now) to MSing, but I believe my point is still valid.

What do others think? I think it might be helpful to debate this and get as many opinions as possible...

I've just had an email from a Pizza company that we MS. Subject:

The ten pound Classic Menu from "Pizza Company"; it's almost worth putting on expenses‏

Do you think they've busted me?!

My twopenneth - I think the 'fruity phones' type ones are tantamount to naming the client, but don't think saying 'catalogue shops' is comparable, although I can see your point about there not being many.

Does it specifically say not to in your brief? If it doesn't mention it, then I'd say* it's fair game...!


*but if you don't get paid, don't come looking for me, ok?!

I've asked before, and they've said no.

Waiting on payment for 2 pizza jobs, one of which I used a voucher for ... claimed my colleague's had them and it would have been suspicious not to use them!

Can anyone please tell me how flexible Aba-i are with changing the date of the assignment? I have just accepted one but will not be able to do them until Saturday! Do you think I have committed a sacking offence by asking for an extension?
