SUGGESTION FOR MSE - Benefits Discussion Sub-Board

I am fed up seeing all the discussion threads on the advice board.

The BG's have recently been doing a good job of moving the relevant board but it is getting untidy.

Even the MSE Officials are getting in on the act and posting discussions articles! They can't even follow their own rules.

I suggest that there is a sub-board at the top of this page where members can go to discuss the benefits policy so that this board can be kept free of all the crap. That way it makes it easier to view the threads where posters need advice.

    Think this should be moved to the Site Feedback: Questions and Suggestions board :D

    Totally agree with this.

    I would have posted it there but I was subliminally making a point :)

    EDIT: I have decided to post this in there too. Hopefully someone will see it and possibly act on it.
  • It makes sense to me to keep any benefits dicussion within the benefits board. A sub board for benefits discussion would do this. Good idea in my opinion, and will keep the main board clutter free for advise etc.

    Checking in from sunny Skeg! :-)

    Completely agree with comments made, but as with all constructive suggestions on here, will anything be done about it?

    As for the thanking thing ... I don't think I need to say what I am thinking! ;-) Apologies if I don't thank for the next day or two, it is a bit difficult on my phone ... but you know I am thanking in spirit! :-)
    Gone ... or have I?

    It would also give the forum officials somewhere to post their discussion threads, rather than on here where it isn't supposed to be allowed!
  • MOVING THREADS FOR BETTER RESPONSES


    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].
  • As expected this has been moved, as per the rules.

    Would that mean that - as per the rules - the post made by MSE Natasha should also be moved? :-)
