So far this week we've had someone who wanted to stop paying a loan because they took the loan for their business, which had just ceased trading, thinking that meant they no longer had to repay the remainder of the loan as it was for the business.
And someone on jobseekers wanting to borrow £1500 for a conceptual business with no business plan.

There is a user who commented on this thread who I have noticed goes around the forum using the "Thanks" button on rude and unhelpful replies.
It's obvious he has some sort of issue but he obviously hasn't discovered what it is yet... :rolleyes:
People accidentally spell something wrong, maybe because they are typing quickly to get their story down, or they don't have much time, or just because they aren't great at spelling.
If some users reply to the OP JUST to mock them, or saying something rude because it makes *them* feel better... it says a lot more about the user replying than it does about the OP.
Down on the right you see a notice sometimes saying "Forum etiquette - please be nice to other money savers"
The people mocking might be able to SPELL etiquette but they sure as hell don't know what it means.

You're welcome
I just think you don't need to be so rude or MEAN when people reply! Fair enough, sometimes there are posts on here where you think...:wall:
but there is no need to be so patronising or try to put people down, going out of their way to make others look stupid and it just makes you wonder why. If you think the thread or post is so ridiculous just move on, go post elsewhere where you can give advice and help to someone who needs, keeping everyone happy rather than p*ss people off or upset them.
I don't see why people can't just be nice with rainbows everywhere and fluffy bunnies bouncing about all the time!:p
(P.s, this doesn't mean I am always perfectly nice, cough cough)

Have you thought about your own posts? You seem to think it is fine for you to pick on people, just because you disagree with their posting style. What makes you so different from those that you dislike?0
