Bit of a slur on other freebie sites,:eek:...

No - that wasn't what I meant borntoshop - I was just commenting on the sheer volume of views it will have had on MSE and every other place. If it has appeared everywhere where dedicated freebie seekers look, as I'm sure it must have, you inevitably multiply the number of scammers going for it here and elsewhere.

I wasn't portraying any other particular site in a worse or better light than MSE - just commenting on volume.

The problem is that it only actually takes one or two of those people, and their ability to create mass emails, addresses, etc (as some of them have openly boasted on MSE in the past) to create absolute havoc for jayneJ and her site.

actually i dont see that the length of the review reflects the standard i consider myself articulate enough to get to the point !!!. i have three children who have attended a few schools and have extensive experience of the local education department and their policies, i also have experience of working in local schools, so know what i am talking about. my point is that the offer HAS changed since it started. i dont see the need for derogatory comments thanks.

smallpackages

can i also just make a comment ? i have only recently joined this site and although the posts are most helpfull and i am gratefull to most genuine people on here i have to say there are an extraordinary amount of nitpickers and people who should really get a life and not be quite so unpleasant - very offputting. no offence

If you wrote less than a 100 word review then you have done a pretty bad job of reviewing the school! I wrote 300 and had to limit myself there. Good or bad, you should have easily been able to do more than 100 words.

In my humble opinion, if the word minimum wasnt clearly stated, which it wasnt when I did my review, then you have replied in a highly inappropriate manner.........Smallpackages was trying to clarify this point, not seek to be judged on her wordcount....Quote bobmats_shel.....If you wrote less than a 100 word review then you have done a pretty bad job of reviewing the school!
how very rude of you to make judgement....


Also smalpackages has a point, some peoples attitudes are quite arrogant.....Quote bobmats_shel..........you should have easily been able to do more than 100 words........ How very dare you....

Well, bully for you!!!

when I wrote my review it did clearly state that there was a minimum requirement of 100 words. I have received the same email as everyone else ..what I was wondering was how on earth are they going to check that people actually do have children at the school ??????

No offence? Bit of an odd comment to finish with since you have made a post with remarks which are intended to offend, surely?

Having been on the receiving end here recently of a couple of bullies resorting to the "get a life" comments and nastiness myself, it's a bit unfortunate that you have resorted to insults to those people (whoever they are) yourself. It undermines your good comments a bit unfortunately, since you have broken MSE etiquette to make your (valid) point.
