    Here's a link to the grabbit poll, so please vote if you have'nt all ready
    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3554867

    I think the title of your poll is missleading - Of course all people want genuine grabbits to stay on the board...

    Its the food related topics & the tesco ones that are causing all of this arguing & its those that the mods have been moving. If you read most of the responses thats what they have all been about.
    Hmmmmmmm

    People are'nt daft, they know exactly what threads the poll is referring to:p It's mainly the T's food & grocery ones, which is proved by the fact the Fortnum & Mason one about the toffee & champagne is still on the grabbit board..

    Yes...Tesco & grocery ones as i said :p

    You've just admitted your Poll is based on that, hence why i said i think the title is missleading :)

    If you read some of the responses on your poll, i think you'll find people are voting in terms of general grabbits, not Tesco & food ones.

    Something needs to be done & at the end of the day, your poll & these general discussions should at least help do that :)

    So this is why the grabbit forum has been so poor for the last few days. Leave it alone and let people post their grabbits so we can all benefit. Oh, and 92% is one heck of a "skew".
    Hope is not a strategy.

    Why not just have a tesco sub page, like the grabbit, music and free stuff .
    Then just put all tesco in one place not scattered all over different sub sections


    i would also vote for having a seperate sub board just for Tesco

    It's not really when nikkilala is posting a link to it on every thread where she knows she will get support. Added to which, as flowmeter has explained, the title of the poll is wholly misleading.

    Unfortunately I would guess that any efforts made by the MSE Team to get a balanced view on this situation will be sabotaged by nikkilala et al, as they seem to be taking over every thread on the subject.

    At the end of the day a grabbit is a grabbit, regardless of whether it is food, music, toys, clothes, furniture etc. related.
    I cannot understand this discrimination with Tesco grabbits - it's only top of the pile at present because alot of the grabbits are found there.

    There are already too many separate threads for certain places eg. Home Bargains, Boots, Poundland etc. At least with the grabbit board you can see at a glance what product is on offer, and where from. Why try and complicate things?

    I've voted to keep ALL grabbits on the grabbit board. The problem with having a Tesco sub board is that all Tesco employees who are searching for found bargains and glitches to possibly correct in stores, will find them all so much easier and the errors will be corrected so much quicker and bang go the bargains! I also wondered what had happened to the Tesco bargains recently but didn't think to search other forums.

    I've only found my way around the grabbit board and very seldom go to the other forums. I certainly must start feeling my way around the site a bit better to see what other forums are there but I still think ALL grabbits should be on the grabbit board. MSE is such a massive website and you could never find the time to go through everything.

    As to the Poll, as someone said, 93% is not 93% of all Grabbit thread users, but if the thread is important to them, they will use it regularly and also WILL vote if they want their voice to be heard. If people see the Poll and DO NOT vote, then they are not interested so 93% should be taken as the very important voice of those who do care. :)
