Martin, i'm so glad you have asked us.
i work in the care industry, and well understand why you felt the need to change the titles, but i loved being madmoneysavingmaverick. I find the new titles far more insulting than the old ones, my new title feels like a personal insult. i'm afaid im not a happy bunny (or kitty for that matter).
Every single one of the suggestions put forward so far is much much better than what we have at the mo.
Please. Pretty please, can they be changed soon
Thank you.

There are certainly plenty of other ways to say that members are mad about money saving - and I originally took the mad as enthusiastic about, not insane about.

I agree, I don't like being a MoneySaving Nerd either - somehow suggests I should be ashamed of being a Moneysaver.:lipsrseal
BTW, how do I find out which names apply to which levels? I mean, when do I stop becoming a Nerd and what do I become?7 Angel Bears for LovingHands Autumn Challenge. 10 KYSTGYSES. 3 and 3/4 (ran out of wool) small blanket/large square, 2 premie blankets, 2 Angel Claire Bodywarmers0 -

I think he meant he had been playing with the level at which you change from one title to another.Work like you don't need money,Love like you've never been hurt,And dance like no one's watchingSave the cheerleader, save the world!0

I think the boardguides could do with an exclusive name - moneysaving spoilers - total spoiler, psuedo-spoiler, quasi-spoiler depending on their levels of engagement - deceit corruption manipulation extortion. The better ones among them could be called moneysaver on duty.
only teasing
