Money off coupon 'chat' thread

So are you saying that no-one can disagree with anyone else?

There should be nothing to disagree about as we are all here for the same reason! To save money! All this unnecessary posting not only makes this forum a less welcoming place but also takes up extra time for those wanting to read about the latest coupons and it is hard enough to keep up anyway. There may well be discussions and disagreements from time to time - but it seems to be far too regular and now it's got to the stage of bickering about bickering which is not productive for anyone. So why don't we just stick to our common ground and get back to saving money and helping each other

I do agree with you when you say we are here to save money but the thread also includes a provision to "chat".
Please bare in mind that all I did was to ask a poster not to be so rude and discourteous (see post 522).

I often don't post on this thread, but do keep up to date with postings.

MT is doing a stirling job of managing this thread, for everyone's benefit.

She has to work within board guidelines, and tries too ensure that the posts do too, so that this thread keeps on topic.

Those of us that have used MSE for a long time now, have seen threads lose their manager, and get closed down if they go off topic.

If new users wish the threads to continue, I'd suggest a little politeness to all, and do read the initial posts annd thread rules.

MT gives a huge amount of time to update the threads, and does so willingly. Please support her so that we can all continue to benefit.

Um, well, actually you did criticise their spelling and grammar as well, which comes across as rather discourteous.... Is your spelling spot on?.... but hey, if not, maybe there's a good reason for that...let's be nice and ignore it.

For what its worth i think this thread has gone to the dogs. i've been looking in regularly and ever since idlesaver left it just isnt the same anymore. this is my first ever post about anything but i'm expecting you all to start screaming at me now. i thought they had a vote when idlesaver left and that someone else was voted in to take over the thread. next thing we knew the votes were ignored and someone else took the thread over. it isnt right that things have been allowed to get so bad.

Welcome, good to see that you've joined up to be able to join in.

The thread is what we all make of it

So it's in everyones interest to show politeness, courtesy and manners.

And of course to share any new coupon finds

Stay and help the thread get stronger .

In the interests of everyone, please can the next incarnation of this thread please just be called 'Updated Printable Money off Coupons & Policies Thread 25'.
I admit I am a recent convert to this thread and have found many a bargain because of it but the last few weeks we seem to have so many people going against the spirit of the thread and it is only going to spoil it for the majority of others.
Perhaps if the 'and coupon chat' was dropped from the title, it may help?

Ignore any posts please, do not want to get this thread closed, do we?

This is the 1st time in a long time that I have posted, but we were never told why there was a poll in the first place, moneytight wanted to take over from idlesaver, but the poll was ignored anyway and myrtleturtle took over and it has been orange writing eversince. Could we please have an answer as to why this happened??
Back to lurking.
