    Many thanks Martin... :A

    Problem was that this time last year newbies could post links to offers etc, and many of us got it wrong with the 'Newbies'

    There were so very many spammers around then that it was unbelievable... :(

    Thank you so much for introducing the rule that newbies cannot post links until they reach a certain post count... :beer:

    thanks martin
    too often i see a really negative or sarcastic answer to a posters thread/question. sometimes its just as hard to post in here where we are all relatively incognito as asking a friend for help.

    i like the idea of a protective 'bubble' for newbies.

    we always say in work that while we may have heard the same question over and over again, ( have you any late deals?? etc) that may well be that persons first time of asking....

    Very glad about the be nice to newbies rules, I've been singing that song for along time on my MSE home of the Debate House Price Board, and seen it happen elsewhere.
