    Hi everyone

    If you see a thread on Grabbit that's obviously not a Grabbit please do pop the link in a PM to the Grabbit board guides and one of them will move it if it does need moving when they're next online.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the response Andrea however, your reply sounds like a standard computer generated one & makes no comment to the concerns & suggestions put by myself & other people on here

    By moving the Groceries & food shopping board to its own sub section on Grabbit will A) Tidy the board up & B) save you & the other board guides alot of time in the process.
    Hmmmmmmm

    Either that or have a Tesco subsection in Grabbit.

    You'd think Tesco was the only shop in the land lately!!

    This board really needs reviewing regularly throughout the day. All I see is 'how do I get the best deal' 'can I use this company' and other similar threads which bear no right to appear on the most popular board on MSE.

    Really makes me :eek::eek::eek: I am happy to report spam as you well know but feel this board needs policing closer to shift these useless threads by your BG's.
    Please do not quote spam as this enables it to 'live on' once the spam post is removed. ;)

    If you quote me, don't forget the capital 'M'

    There currently several threads in grabbit forum that are not deals, and one has remained there since yesterday (flamingo land.

    Plus the constant tesco posts and groceries which should belong else where

    Waste of time reporting people. I have reported two spammers yesterday and they still a member

    A board the size of this needs more board guides and or those that are more active, and no I dont want to do it in case people thought thats my reason for posting this. I am sure there are plenty of people who would

    Just to let people know I'm back as a BG on Grabbit (I used to BG this board 4 years ago) and once the relative permissions are put in place to let me deal with threads on the board, hopefully you will notice a difference :)

    Did the threads stop being moved? currently we have threads about rice and pasta sauces that are apparently not right for the Tesco Misprice thread OR the grocery board!


    I don't know why MSE just don't admit defeat and create a Tesco sub-board. It would solve the issue in one fell swoop!

    I would love to see some kind of rule put in place about thread titles. Not a massive issue i know, but it would be nice if looking at the Grabbit board was a quick skim down the page for suitable offers.

    I would say that all threads need to begin with the store name and contain information about the item. [Store]:[Item] [Price/Was Price] [online/instore]

    For example

    Tesco: Hartley's Jelly pots glitch (free) instore only
    Asda: Muller Corner glitch (10 for 30p) instore only
    Amazon: Fisher Price Baby Walker £5 (was £30)
    Sainsburys: Cars 2 Wii game £10 (was £35) online only


    Wouldn't that make the board so much easier/quicker to browse?! It would to me anyway :D
