Posting is a privilege, not a right. This is a privately-owned site. Posting is a privilege, not a right. Any inappropriate posts or any issues that take up a disproportionate amount of resources or make it a worse place to be will be stopped at our discretion - with or without explanation. No one pays to use this site; when there are issues, we pay to resolve them. Sometimes we need to prioritise spending money on the site, other issues or better resources.
Please be nice to all MoneySavers. That’s the forum motto. Remember, the prime aim is to help provide info and resources. If you don’t like someone, their situation, their question or feel they’re intruding on ‘your board’ then please bite the bullet and think of the bigger issue. A Guardian article once "doffed its cap" to this forum as being the one place where consumers can collect together and fight back. Our job is to help keep it that way.

    Well they certainly seem NEW. However, they have done some reassuring work by becoming members of the Direct Marketing Association (thedma.org) -
    "the largest global association of marketers committed to advance and protect responsible data-driven marketing"

    If you had quoted in full point 6 of t&c's this would have been clear to us all

    The set up is just like another site that is on the spam list, with what appears to be several different competitions but only one prize
    week in New York, £2000 garden make over or £2000 cash. The cash value of this is prize is £2000.

    and very long closing dates (just over 13 months for the 3 competitions but 1 only one prize example above)
