    So true!

    Posts need a clear and concise indication of what is on offer.

    If not, it is fair to add the missing and important information.

    I agree, the above info would be needed if someone forgot to put it, & many many people do in a day & i do not bump them

    I do so love it when I'm right (she says modestly) :rotfl:

    Now all we need do is agree on when a bump is and isn't needed...

    Purple_x dislike to fur is not needed on the main comp board, she can make a thread in the comp section

    Right, she said she wouldn't be entering and stated it was real fur in the same post. What does it really matter if one comment didn't really belong in that one post?

    I've added info to threads before, i've also said thanks for the comp, am I not allowed to do that?

    Just caught this one,

    Neither comment was needed! do we care if Purple enters a comp or not? NO so it should not of been bumped

    Nothing to apologise for, you are not responsible for the bumping that followed the post or the fact that the prize bothered some people.

    Original post said it was fur there was no reason for it to be pointed out again any more than pointing out that a prize for sausages contained meat.

    It wasn't being pointed out again, it was being corrected/clarified. OP didn't realise or state it was real fur though so it was valid for that to be added.

    To reiterate extra info needed for the comp yes saying thanks no. Unless you say thanks in a post where you have added extra info needed...

    This entire thread feels like banging our heads against a brick wall so I'm gonna go to bed.

    It's ok to say that because I'm in the chat section, right?

    Totally fine then...

    Mind you it would depend on the quality of the additional information you added to the comp post :cool:

    JUST ALL GIVE IT A BLOODY REST!!!!!

    Can see this thread disappearing overnight... night all

    *turns off instant email subscription for the thread*

    Sorry, just popped back in and have skimmed the thread, but wanted to say that this is why people never sort out their differences on here. Threads either disappear because they get reported or descend into personal insults and get locked.

    So I was hoping people could talk out the current problem of bumping threads like adults and not be treated like children.

    There's so many little niggles people have with each other and the ways of running the board that surely it's better to discuss + agree/disagree and maybe find some way to all use this board in harmony rather than having disputes with each other that run, and run, and run.

    I didn't want the current 'fur' thread to escalate like the last one did, but IMO there's no problem with posting it.

    We were given the chat area for a reason - to stop chat on the comp threads. TBH if I were in MSE Towers I think I would've gotten sick of all of us by now :)
