Savvy - where are you?

Savvy,
Things are starting to get a little out of hand in here again. As of my time of posting this message, 6 out of the 7 latest threads are not relevant to the sub-forum.

Can you please move the inappropriate threads? Their continued appearance seems to encourage more.

Thanks.

If anyone else is concerned about all the off-topic threads starting up in here again, will you please PM the board guide as I seem to be getting nowhere about it on my own.
I went through the recent posts and reported all the off-topics. I then got replies saying I needed to contact the board guide. The board guide replied asking which messages were off-topic and who told me to contact him!

I might as well save my breath - or, rather, my typing finger.

Hi bcl99,

You sent me a PM only one minute before you made the above post today. I'm flattered if you expected me to sort out "all the off-topic threads in here" in that time

I asked which board you were referring to, as I didn't recognise the issue of off-topic threads relating to the Savings & Investment/ISAs boards or the Motoring/Parking Fines boards where I am a volunteer Board Guide (BG).

I shouldn't be listed on this board as a BG, so I will contact MSE's Forum Team and ask them to ensure I am removed.

Unfortunately I don't have sufficient time to cover the existing boards where I'm already a BG plus the (very active) main + sub-boards of the Overseas Travel part of the forum. I like to be able to look over a board properly and have sufficient time to ensure the board is kept flowing.

That said I have had a look at the sub-forum at your request and moved several threads to different parts of the Overseas Travel board.

I hope this helps in explaining the situation for you

Thanks for the explanation. My statement of fact in post 2 didn't actually name anyone but you have chosen to reveal yourself. I messaged you as you were the most recently active of the 3 people listed as BGs of this sub-forum. (This being August I figured the others could be away.)

It's difficult for members to know you are not a BG when you are publicly listed as one, wouldn't you agree?

Thank you for moving any threads.
