Who Made The Rules?

Ms_Chocaholic

I've been a member of MSE for donkeys and used the comps board for many years, firstly under a different name but I started a new account as it was too recognisable.

I was just wondering, how did the heading rules come about, you know the E:, it's a great way to keep the board in order but I wondered if anyone could remember.

I do remember the thanks and x button coming into force, I wonder how I ever managed without them.

Thanks. I know why we do it, just wondered who thought of it, before we had the E:'s was it just a free forall.

It used to be that we had a volunteer who would go through and list all the comps ending the next day on one thread. As you can imagine that was a hell of a lot of work for some people and it wasn't always appreciated so i think thats why the e: rule was brought in to make it easier for people to sort through and organise comps themselves

Yup, read the thread posted by mjm. You'll get the answers to your questions from that thread.

I miss the chat there used to be - now you get shouted at for daring to comment and bump a thread. I know there's compers corner but it's not the same.
