It would probably be more appropriate that you request that a specific non-moneysaving advice forum was created if that's what you'd like to see.

Thanks ever so much for acknowledging this thread . Many regular posters are frustrated with the amount of threads moved to DT from other boards, in particular from the benefits section .
Numerous threads have been posted here asking for a sub section for benefit discussion rather than moving them to DT .
Please would you please give this serious consideration , I know I can speak on behalf of many regulars in DT who are frankly fed up of it .
Thank you0 -
They just got fed up hearing the same thing, that's all. :rotfl:Herman - MP for all!

No.....shush, this isn't just me. LOADS of people have said this. Ames started this particular thread and loads of good posters have just joined in, in agreement. It's just the right time now that's all.

If my powers of persuasion were 'all that' ......they'd have listened to me moaning years ago and changed things then. :rotfl:Herman - MP for all!

Thank you MSE team for listening. A new board for advice and support about things not money saving would be fantastic and stop a lot of trouble and heartache.Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0

While I understand the policy and the desire to keep some of the issues out of Moneysaving, I really do find the insensitivity of the current policy to be much worse than the apparent inappropriateness of some of the threads.
I would add my name to those requesting a new forum along the lines you suggest. I would suggest that in fact you drop Moneysaving from the title of the current Marriage Relationships and Families Forum and move it to a new place. You could start a new replacement forum in Moneysaving - but mostly things are covered by the other topics AFAICSHi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0
