Hi. Martin has asked me to tell you that I'm the Board Guide on the The Most Popular Chat Tips Ever Board board, which means I'm a volunteer to help the board(s) run smoothly, and I can move and change posts there. However, do remember, board guides don't read every post. If you spot an abusive or illegal post then please report it to abuse@moneysavingexpert (it's not part of my role to deal with abuse).
