    I would think it would be the place to go if anyone had questions about competitions - whether they need help chasing a prize, help entering (which could include registering or logging in problems), maybe a thread for referring people?

    That way the "I won I won I won" board and the comps board could be kept clear and used for what they are intended to be used for (or at least trying to be!)

    That's my opinion anyway :) xx
    Thanks to all posters :A

    I agree and maybe it could be the place where the threads that are about how many comps people enter a day etc could go too?

    Thank you again loads for this. As Jaibaby & Lady M say, it's really a catch-all thread for anything that doesn't obviously 'fit' elsewhere. For questions, info, tips, discussion and chat. On-topic and off-topic points are welcome.

    And would it be ok to have a spam button there if/when the tech team have a mo? Sadly, our shiny new sub-board has already been spammed :(

    I agree with a spam button!

    Already had to report a spam thread so a spam button would be a nice addition.

    Thanks to the forumteam :T

    I've moved a few threads over from IWIWIW so that board can be kept for wins only and the Compers Inn which can be kept for off topic chat :)
    As we now have a whole board for Comping discussions I don't think we need the Competitions Discussion Thread, which will make the main board less cluttered at the top :)

    Huge thanks again for listening to us, and responding with a decision so quickly. I will just copy and paste the description I posted on the Site Feedback thread about a discussion area, hope thats ok, xxx

    "take a seat, heres the board to chat about comps, post hints and tips, ask questions galore and relax after a hard days comping"

    That would be fantastic, thank you so much for listening. I have to confess I have always called it Compers Chat Corner, (kinda - take a seat, heres the board to chat about comps, post hints and tips, ask questions galore and relax after a hard days comping) when I've posted about it in the past, but would be happy with whatever name, just really excited that this may actually be possible, xxxxx
    My light may be on, but that doesn't always mean I am looking at the PC - I am far more likely to be cuddling or feeding Tianna atm, so please don't think I am ignoring you if I don't reply quickly :)

    Brilliant addition to the board, great place for people to chat about competition issues they may be having, that can sometimes get lost within the bigger discussion thread.

    A spam button would be good, just incase there is anyone who posts something that shouldn't be here.

    Love this area of the forum xx Wahoo ;)
    Wishing you all good luck!

    Are people thinking this is a general discussion board? Maybe calling it 'General Comps Discussion' or 'Competition Discussion' or something like that would make it clearer, especially for newbies.

    maybe to add this on the heading for the new one might be a easier way for newbies to know it's for comps questions etc ?
