I ABSOLUTELY get where you're coming from - but please don't make this a solid decision at this stage. I'm intending to copy your post I have quoted above into the thread I've started on Site Feedback - it underlines precisely what I've said there and this is really concerning. If our regulars are feeling like this, what hope of new members feeling enough trust to use the boards as they are intended?
For what it is worth the SPAM button is currently not showing for me - I'm hopeful that it has been removed for now at least... I've made a couple of suggestions in relation to that over on the thread I mention above.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
