Clicking Expired Instead Of PMing A BG For A Merge?

I try very hard not to duplicate, but it still happens occasionally.
The duplication can happen on the same day, or weeks apart even, and with the amount of competitions that get posted every day, not everyone will be around enough to realise they've posted a duplicate...
As we know, not everyone comps in the same way, or in a regular pattern.
It would be good if those who post did check, but that's not going to happen in reality...
Hi,someone duping your post is not down to you so maybe you would not spot that.What I meant was when a dupe is posted it is often spotted quickly & someone states that they will pm a BG.At that point the OP,if still online,would probably spot it & could edit accordingly.
I'm not saying that the dupe note is always spotted but I think it often is but people do not take responsibility.0 -
it was just a suggestion for that one thread :eek:
don't want to tread on the other BG's toes
Don't worry you have not trodden on any ones toes. We are desperate for BG's & we have tried asking MSE Towers & nothing is ever done about it
I have no idea why MSE has not chosen & given us at least another one BG, but we had 3 & one extra for the xmas rush we are now on one & a half through no fault of their own :eek:
So any input on how we can take the pressure off the one & a half we have is more than welcome :T

Maybe if members took responsibility for their posts they would probably spot the dupe note & would then edit the post & title.That way it would be clear that it was a dupe.
Some OP's may not spot the dupe note but given that the dupe is often spotted when the thread is on page one I think most would/should.
I agree with this, I know I don't post as many as some but I do try and keep an eye on them for a couple days in case of any problems, it's easy enough to bring up a list of your own threads.
Mostly what we need is a new or temporary bg until dalkirst and divadee are back, this has to be one of the busiest boards for bg involvement surely so more than one is a must?StayHome * StaySafe * BeKind0 -

I have just sent a Pm to MSE Debs & have explained we have one BG who is not receiving any PM's so no board merges on the competitions board are being done & the other BG through no fault of his own is really not well & can not do much at all
I have asked if it's possible for another BG from a different board can come & help us as we really need help asap or make someone else a BG
I don't know if this will do anything or if I will even get a reply, but I was unsure if Glad has been able to get help like Cornish Pasty did last week? And I was unsure if anyone at MSE towers even knew about Glad not being able to get pm's

Dalkrist has PMed MSE Towers to let them know he is unwell & can not do much at all
I have Pmed MSE Debs before today & aksed for help but have received no reply
I have again now PMed MSE Debs & explained the only full BG we have is not receiving any PM's so no merges are being done on the comps board.

Just shows how things can be taken literally around here:rotfl:
May be time for the compers to take a breath & just carry on as we were?
Or at least send a merge request & not just expire the thread?
thank goodness there is some sense on this thread.
im a long time lurker so although i might not have been a member for yonks i DO have some idea of what goes on here. if the bg's need help then they'll ask for it.
this has been going on for ages. theres always someone who thinks the bgs are struggling with the job, but in reality the bgs say very little. if dalkirst has pm'd a person higher up then great, they are aware of things going on but the subject is like a broken record now.0
