Thought Police opperate here!!

Bloody hell!! In ref to http://forum.moneysavingexpert.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Urgents;action=display;num=1104764926

Was only sposed to be a joke. Cant believe the tetchy mods locked this post - it was only a discussion about the fact that WHSmiths seem to be listing a large number of items at ridiculously low prices...

I know it wasnt a hugely useful comment but didnt think it would be censored!! If a thread is useless, it will die its own natural death...

Deary me - someone on a power trip? Thought this was a DISCUSSION board/forum. Wont bother posting any finds on here in the future i dont think! :-X

    Thanks redfox i was just about to say that.

    I am not on a power trip but as you posted that on the quick grab it board, and it was not a genuine offer then it was not suitable for that board, i can unlock it and move it to discussion time with a change of title if you so wish?

    Hi Feetup ..... No ones on a power trip .... I think the point was that it wasn't posted in the actual "Discussion" thread, but on this (grab it now) board. I can see how it must have !!!!!! quite a few people off though :-/ Don't let it put you off, it's no biggy :) just a lesson learnt I suppose ;)
    I can say whatever I like here ... 'cos no one can see me .. ner ner ner ner ner !!!....

    How do you know I ain't sitting here butt naked?!?!

    I thunk I've made you think for a minute!

    Another pointless post. Are you no capable of reading. Look at the forum title, your two posts aint bargains are they?

    We have enough posts already that dont belong here without you contributing to it. If decent deal by all means contribute.

    No longer a user, goodbye folks. PLEASE delete my account. Thank you

    Feetup did find a couple of whsmith bargains.

    I don't think the one word reply of "moron" by a newbie was either nice or necessary. There's ways of saying things without resorting to insults!

    feetup did you not realise from your first thread that this is not the place for posting this crap?

    GIVE OVER!
  • I think in this case the responses from other users of this board speak for themselves.

    We try and keep opinons to the Discussion and MSA boards so that the other boards do not get clogged with posts that allude to something they are not.

    It is a case of trying to keep the boards in good order so that people can find what they want and, in this case, genuine 'Quick!' offers before they expire.
