    The Sticky situation...
    The Forum Team told us only one sticky for each board....
    Now there are three in here....

    Would be so much nicer, if the Comping Guide could have stayed on a separate sticky.

    Got moved and no reply from forum team...

    Agreed re Comping Guide.
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.

    Honestly hadn't seen your thread...

    You raised a really good point far more eloquently than I :D

    Thank you although it is now lost in the wasteland of site feedback.

    I would have thought having the comping guide as a sticky at the top of the comping board was just common sense.

    It might just be me but the number of times threads are posted by new compers asking the same questions does appear to be increasing making ccc rather dull.

    I agree.
    I've always been under the impression that if you're new on a forum, have a look around and search previous topics first.
    Maybe compers don't have the time to search :rotfl:

    Or in some cases look at the usual format of how to post a new competition before posting...

    My pet hate about comping is other people.

    I love comping

    I hate people's reactions when I tell them what I've won!

    The green eyed monster often comes out, so now I don't tell anyone anything unless asked.

    I won a holiday and I got screamed at - yes screamed at - in Sainsburys by someone from work. "You don't deserve that holiday, you know nothing about football"

    I asked him if he'd entered the competition to win the holiday and he said no, to which I just replied - "got to be in it to win it mate, so up yours" and walked off.

    And that was 4 years ago and still sticks in my mind.

    I think my pet hate for today is finally thinking of a witty comeback to a post only to find the thread has been locked and I can't post.

    Follow up question do threads get locked on request as well?
