We’d like to remind Forumites to please avoid political debate on the Forum.

This is to keep it a safe and useful space for MoneySaving discussions. Threads that are – or become – political in nature may be removed in line with the Forum’s rules. Thank you for your understanding.

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    Unfortunately, this is not an exhaustive list, as it's none of the above!


    However, see under 'Forum Issues.'

    This bit:

    PPR (Posting Privileges Removed) is the term we use when we stop someone posting on the forum.
    The majority of banned forum users are spammers. It's important to note they can still read the site and forum (we never bar access to MoneySaving), however they cannot post. If they can't see the site, they may need to refresh their cache by clicking control + F5.
    If someone's been removed, it could be for any of the following reasons:
    • Spamming
    • Advertising
    • Cloning someone else's username or impersonating another person to cause problems
    • Trolling (see What's a troll/alter ego? )
    • Resource issues (consistently and inappropriately taking time away from the Forum Team's core work)

    Why are people banned (PPR'd)?
    We don't remove people's posting privileges lightly. No one pays anything to use this site. Our first consideration must be towards protecting it from increasing costs and legal challenges (although on mainstream issues of consumers' rights, we may choose to take battles on). Posting on MoneySavingExpert.com is a privilege, not a right. We can refuse permission to post without giving a reason.
    In the past, we tried hard not to PPR long-standing forum users. Sadly, we had so many issues taking time away from our core MoneySaving work, that protection had to go. Now, if someone's persistently causing trouble, they're PPR'd. If they are, please don't talk about them on the forum. It's unfair to do this when they aren't able to respond.
    See more about this in How do I report a post? .
    Our decision to suspend or stop any user's posting privileges (PPR) may be final.
    The posting ban applies to any/all user accounts used by or in the name of that person.
    People who are on here to cause trouble will be PPR'd immediately. Yet we may be forced to do the same with usually-helpful posters, who get into spats or push it too far.
