grabbit board

it seems over the festive period that the grabbit board has exploded to include things which shouldnt really be there. posters asking about sales or posting food bargains just because they know that they will recieve more views. ye the grabit board is the most viewed board on mse but if posters were to post there threads in the appropriate boards or t least have them moved to them then the forum would be a little more balanced

    Food bargains that are short term (like the quality street you were narked about) are a grabbit, like it or not, as the majority would agree, however i do agree that there have been some ridiculous postings requesting sales, thanking so and so for her posts, and wishing everyone a merry christmas to name a few.
    Also causing a problem are the many 'forum police' who feel they have to make a comment about it being in the wrong place.
    The correct way of doing it is by sending the link to a board guide, rather than posting silly remarks that bump it back up the list again at the expense of genuine grabbits, therefore making those posters no better than those wrongly posting.
