  • What's the consensus about these, are we ignoring them as they're against FB rules?

    I don't have FB but I think they should be included then people can make their own mind up if they enter them or not rather than not posting them, people don't have a choice then

  • I have a query about the weeklys due to me running the weekly thread on the regular board - what makes a weekly a weekly as opposed to an advent weekly?

    I'm not fussed where they get put as it's only for a month or so, but does there need to be some sort of agreement as to where they go so that OYL and I don't dupe, and also posters of any new weekly comps know where to put them?

    As a starting point, perhaps any that mention advent should be an advent weekly, leaving the rest to go on the regular weekly thread?

    Thoughts please :D

    That's normally what happens. That if the competition mentions it's an advent then it goes in advents (or sometimes called Christmas countdown), if not it goes in regular weeklies:)

    I was just thinking that the advents don't just go on the advent thread, they also go on the forum as normal. But there's been very few L&S comps posted in recent months, so I wondered if the general thought was we shouldn't be posting them ...
