NO
If you want to do C2Ws go to the C2W thread.
The same as I don't think the Mags threads (even just the bigger prizes) should not be posted on the main board, if you want to do them go to the Mags thread.
I think of the main board as comps that don't fit into any of the regular daily/weekly/mags ect headings.

Right I'm sure I'll get a lot of flak for this but I'll say it anyway.
It would benefit me for the CTW's to be added to the main board - I could just enter them once from the main board and forget about them - like I do with the mag dailies.
When we had a mag daily thread on the main board (which I really liked btw) the argument was that people felt they weren't readily accessible and people were missing them because they weren't posted individually on the main board (which I never really understood). As it stands the CTW's aren't on the main board at all and just having a link to each site in a post on a thread in the regular section will mean that so many people will have no idea they even exist let alone some of the great prizes they are offering (yes people do need to take responsibility for their own comping etc...)
I do find it strange that the 'every comp must be on the main board' 'rule'' doesn't stand for the CTW's. I don't see why they are so different to the magazine dailies - apart from not having a question - but many comps listed don't have a question.
Having said that I wouldn't have the time or patience to post them so would continue to enter them as they stand.
ETA: This CTW was posted last night on the main board and has over 100 thanks already - I wonder how many people have entered it because it's on the main board that wouldn't otherwise (of course the answer is who knows? but you know) https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/50159110 -
That!
and the same should be said for RC & gleam
I agree totally, they both have their own individual thread so why do they need to be duplicated on the main board.
If we keep going on like this we may as well close all of the individual threads and post absolutely everything on the main board every single day.“I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints.” - Billy Joel

Please, no!
There are so many and they change so frequently that it would be a lot of work and they would clog up the main board. I think for a lot of people who avoid that it would be one a very arduous task "crossing" them on the main board.2019 Wins

I voted no, it would be way too much on the main board.0

Maybe it's just me but I'm not sure how a competitions forum could have too many competitions listed nor how competitions can 'clog up' a comps board?0
