I don't think it would work - it would need to be every CTW or no CTWs posted, and I'm not sure we could rely on enough people to be posting tens of comps from 40 odd sites....

This is not to take away from F**F, incidentally (because I think she's fab!!): I understand why she posted the TAB ones tonight. The thread seemed to imply it was something wanted by the forum.

what?! it might have been wanted by 2 people!! TWO!

Thing is though, that's not really a discussion. That's a few posts contained in 2 comp threads that 95% of people won't see if they are not interested in the prize contained in it.

I think posting the CTWs as their own thread is such a massive change to the way things are at the moment, that there is a need for a proper discussion about the pros and cons for people that both post the comps and people that just enter them.

Keep them off the main board as if it ain't broke, it don't need fixing.


And see if we can actually manage to leave personalities out of it when having a discussion if a discussion is actually needed. This board can be a little prone to flouncing, when it's really not necessarily.

Is there not a comping board guide ?

yes 2 of us listed at the bottom of the main page of each of the comps board

we don't make the rules though, it's really up to you compers to come to a decision that works

I can't see why they are suddenly all being posted tonight on the main board though, after only a couple of comments (more against posting than for)

As I think is pretty obvious from F**F's posts across the forum, she cares about what everyone wants - and so when one person said they would like the CTWs to be posted, I'm not surprised that she posted them.
It doesn't seem to me that F**F wanted to overrule the forum on something (she's pointed out that she said herself she doesn't agree with all the CTWs being posted), but she was being thoughtful of another member.

Perhaps it would be better to be grateful at how much F**F is willing to post for us. We seem happy to jump on the fact that she's posted a few CTWs, but forget to show gratitude for how much she posts on the Comps forum...
