    I'd love to know where you (I have no idea who) are putting the itv comps because I, for one, can't find them.

    which of the tweets was a joke?
    the one saying maybe we should rig it the way they do on fb comps? the one saying once she is gone we can have it how we want?
    the one saying "we" want all the itv comps ect on regs forum?

    obviously you can only speak for your own tweets, fyi the one saying maybe we should rig i took as a joke. those telling people to vote for this particular option or that particular option, and the others i mention above only include a few.



    woooow wooooow! i never said anything about 'once she's gone....' ??? i hope ur not suggesting that i did? and yes we did all disscuss how we voted but there is no crime there...and we all know each other fairly well and know each others comping habbits so knew we'd all vote similarly. this is getting ridiculous :( im glad im off for a while soon!
    I can only please one person a day.... Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either!!
    very greatful for almost everything i read on MSE (except for the nasties!)

    they should all be on main as normal, comping cat is pretty regular at posting them as they are aired.

    im not naming anyone, hence the use of the word "the" tweets instead or "your" tweets, sorry that that was not clear enough.

    All of them are in the main section apart from the ITV Aviva Drama one which is in regulars.

    I'm still not really sure how to vote in this poll. Whichever option I go for it doesn't determine whether for example that thread would remain as one thread which is added to (either in regular section or main section) or whether it would go back to being posted as a separate thread each month. Maybe the other poll will clarify that situation.

    Please don't inflame the situation with accusatory posts. Nobody has "put" the ITV comps anywhere. I realise the search function doesn't always work and makes things difficult to find but that doesn't mean people have moved them.

    I have no idea where the rumour got started about the ITV comps being moved started. I imagine somebody skimmed the discussion thread, saw "ITV" and "regs" and made up their own story about it which has now caused all this trouble :(

    You know, I really thought we had everything sorted out on the other thread and were all pulling together to have the comps with end dates posted on the main board and linked over to the 3 sticky threads so that everyone was happy but I've just been inundated this afternoon with messages from people about these comments here so I've had to come back here and answer the allegations being made against me and yes, I know it's me due to the things being "quoted" but actually being taken wholely out of context.

    I wont be returning to this thread again after I've said my piece so attack me any way you want, I've got so many more comps entered today when I haven't had to keep explaining myself because some people choose to misunderstand me
    obviously you can only speak for your own tweets, fyi the one saying maybe we should rig i took as a joke. those telling people to vote for this particular option or that particular option, and the others i mention above only include a few.

    I know exactly which of my tweets you will have either seen here or been directed to, if you had followed the conversation back along all the tweets before that one you would have seen a whole conversation where I and a few friends were trying to understand the options available to us when none of the poll options seemed to be what we had pretty much all agreed to on the other thread which I have outined above. I was not telling anyone which way to vote, just saying which way I had voted and which I thought was most similar to what we had all decided was a fair compromise on the other thread. I think you can see there is a great difference between what you have said and what actually happened
    and that "once she is gone we can have it how we want" as just a couple of examples. course thats only whats been posted publically.

    Again, this has been removed from a whole conversation and taken entirely out of context, yes I did say these words, the meaning behind them can be seen perfectly clear from the whole conversation IF you follow it back and forwards and read it all rather than just taking one set of words and extracting whatever meaning you choose from them. The conversation was again the same one as above and the meaning i put behind the words and the one my friends took it to mean was that once all this was over we can all get on with the comps being posted on the main board and the links on the regs stickies as per the compromise worked out on the other thread

    ________

    If anyone finds offence in my comments then there is a button on twitter which means you never have to see them and be offended by them but if you dont use it then please, follow conversations back and get the whole story before you accuse me, or indeed anyone else, of anything underhand:)

    All regular comps with end date stay on main board but posters then post link on the regulars board

    If poeple vote for the above how would this work exactly?

    Would it get posted in regulars and then the OP comes onto the main board and again posts it there with a link to the thread in regulars?
    Wouldn't that be like two posts for the same comp and make a mess of the main board?

    I see no option to stay as it is now? It's not broke, why fix it?
    Assuming changes are going to be made, far better to do a proper job IMO and address the source of comps, ie FB twitter etc. which are growing exponentially and some peeps prefer to avoid.

    What I would do; A board for regulars, email. postal, FB, twitter, (possibly even TV ones too) then one for misc comps that fit none of those categories.
    Also a general section where people can ask or post without it being lost in the stupidly long threads where no-one ever sees them to answer because those are more like chat threads.

    No vote from me, no option improves things enough to be worth confusing folk really. The small irritations we have now don't bother me enough and they suit others fine.
