C) I think Darragh is either the bravest, or most gullible guy to come onto MSE and work his way through what is an ever increasing number of complaints/qestions regarding PB and its members.

Or the most "astute"?

Nice post itsbeef :beer: :beer:

Quite unnecessary and what annoyed me.

Darraghd didn't introduce it, it was somebody posting that their friend had registered her other half + childrens names to get more Boots vouchers, (even tho' they don't use Pigsback themselves, I presume, going by the post) who first brought up the subject.

There were quite a few responses from other FM's on the matter, so he was clarifying Pigsbacks view/stance on fraud. It wasn't just brought up out of the blue.

One more thing - get down from your own high horse before passing comment on others. How dare you speak for other MSE'ers. As far as I am concerned, Darragh is well within his rights to state that fraud will not be tolerated by Pigsback.

Agreed with what you said, especially this bit.. was going to post similar myself but you save dme the bother.

Pigsback IS MOST CERTAINLY NOT PERFECT - as the comments on this and the other threads indicate.

You are right it certainly is not perfect. From using the website it seems to have been coded by a beginner programmer. I think I could do a better job at it.

Gosh, with all these perfect people.. i'm starting to feel slightly inadequate.

Darragh has clearly succeeded in his charm offensive here and has something of a fan base who don't like these issues being raised - credit to him for that.

However he remains an employee of a company that still seems to need to do a lot of sorting itself out.

To be fair, i think most people are sticking up for (for want of a better phrase) PB/Darragh because they see that Darragh does do a lot to help people.

In fact in my experience, he's gone out of his way to make sure things are dealt with, and as for pigsback.. most can realise that it is mainly getting something for no financial outlay - obviously you can buy things thorugh pigsback to receive extra points, but if it's things you would buy anyway then it's a bonus on top of that to receive points/vouchers. They don't have to give you the offers.. but they do, and in the same way, you don't have to make purchases to build up points if you didn't really want to either.

It's not like people are forced to use PB, so if you are so dissatisfied with them, then why not just stop using them altogether.. no? Thought not.

He didn't introduce the idea at all, he replied to somebody asking about it.. and fraud was mentioned long before Darrah replied too.

Hang on I wanted my OH and sons to have accounts. How is this fraud, I don't want them using my account and spending my vouchers. Same with buying things I don't want my son or OH to see what I've bought and hidden away for christmas.
