Wow,

Well I'm still relativly new this and this forum however the tone of some peoples post is really putting me off contributing. I used to think this was a usual forum full of people who wanted to help, and now those people don't appear to be posting as much as they used to.

Maybe we should lighten the tone here and not get so heated and repeatative posts.

Surely the point of it is to use it as a source of information and to share information?

Rant over

I think you might find most of the "oldies" (and you know who you are... ) just get fed up answering the same questions over and over again.

Even if there are not so many people posting these days the thread has been viewed 31574 times and only just over 900 entries. So there must be a lot of lurkers out there that are getting a lot of benefit (and you know who you are...;)).
Keep up the contributions Matt567 its for the greater good:A

i am pretty new to this forum and have always found everyone helpful and friendly. whilst it was not realistic for me to be able to read every post in previous threads i certainly read all the info in the first few posts and found it very helpful. i still look at that if i'm not sure before i ask a question.

whilst i agree it can be heated in here at times and there is no need for rudeness, it does annoy me when people ask questions that are covered in the first few posts. if people can't be bothered or don't have time to read them then i personally don't think ms is for them. they will spend much longer having to read notes and fill in questionnaires.

i think everyone needs to remember that the people that help in here do if off their own back and that in effect all us newbies are taking jobs in their areas away from them. i can totally understand why everyone in here, myself included, would not want to hand people who don't want to read a few pages the info on a plate!

rant over! :lipsrseal

Sorry Matt, that was probably directed at me! I will always be helpful when it's obvious that a poster has done at least a little bit of research first. But posting asking about what sort of wage people get suggests that the poster doesn't really get how mystery shopping works therefore directing them to read the first few pages should have pointed out to them that there is no set wage, you do as much or as little as you want and you get out what you put in.

Obviously it didn't work though...:wall:

I did mine couple a week or two earlier, maybe I'm just being impatient

I received very nice envelopes this morning from ABAi for the cheap designer store I did on 7/10/09, but I am still waiting for one of a department store group voucher for a job completed on 20/9/09 - Is anyone else expecting this voucher to arrive or just me?? Thanks
