    Well, I disagree. It grates.

    Your entitled to your opinion and if you leave the board loses.

    My point is this, some people come here to cheat and blag the system. Not only that but they are asking for our help on how do it. Someone who spends £400+ on slabs for the garden does NOT need a crisis loan 2 weeks later. I am not breaking any rules on the board and I will continue to point it out.

    They dilute the board from the genuine people.

    Sorry, forgot to reply last night ... will fill everybody in when I've been to get some chocolate (and maybe some ice cream too?)!

    I know I am the worst person to point this out, but this thread has been active since Friday and none of the BG's have given any input. As others have said, constructive suggestions such as this have been made before but don't get anywhere, because those that can make the changes are not interested.

    Any suggestions on how to move these ideas forward?

    I can put together a quick guide to JSA this afternoon (post/ during chocolate) as an example of a possible sticky, plus we have already got Bozo's questions?
    Gone ... or have I?

    That is my fear, I can even predict what the 'official' response will be, but would quite like to be proven wrong! :p

    I'll make some enquiries, see who we can get here.
