Healthspan Codes Thread (no chat)

Hello sarah1972

I'm assuming it is you who removed all the subsequent comments??

I appreciate that YOU want things kept to a minimal communication.  And I also appreciate keeping things on topic.

But, as a little bit of feedback, I think you are being too rigorous with your policy!  And a little heavy handed, so to speak.

Over the years we have had a kind of "healthspan discount codes" community.  In one fell swoop you are eliminating this.  

You may be correct according to the letter of the law, but you are missing the spirit of those who have actually been actively participating on this thread for so long.  Since you made the change, sadly, many of the regular helpful folk are now no longer visiting this so-called "shiny new thread".  And hence it seems fewer options for discount codes.  

Anyway, just wanted to provide you with some feedback because it seems like you are perhaps unwittingly single handedly helping to kill this one time friendly helpful forum thread.

It’s been this way for a long time that long ongoing threads are treated this way as subscribers to the threads also find it extremely frustrating to get alerts only to find it’s chat or any new codes or code worked posts. 

It’s not just me who wants to keep minimal communication, it’s for all subscribers. It’s not a chat thread, it’s a discount code thread. 

Hope that clears it up and makes sense. X

I posted a comment on this thread in July but it seems to have disappeared and I haven't deleted it. Can others delete posts? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for responding.  Whilst I appreciate the validity of some of your points.  We are not AI automatons.  We use words to communicate in a friendly, amicable fashion.  There is an inevitable element of "chat" when using words.  There was nothing wrong with the old thread, it wasn't broke, and it didn't need fixing. 

As I said it seems like you are unwittingly helping to create an environment where the unforeseen consequences of a "rule based system" are having a deleterious effect on the very community spirited purpose the original thread was set up for.

As this has become a chat thread again and gone off topic I will not respond further on here as it defeats the object for subscribers looking for codes and not pages of chat posts. 

It’s been a fine way for a long time on this board on certain long running threads and avoids users trawling through any new codes, codes worked, code didn’t work or shopping lists of what people have used the codes for.

I will now refer it to the team for review who may change the old way to accommodate chat or not. 

Thank You

Hello all,

MSE Laura F here. This thread is quite a particular one - its leanness makes it helpful for people who want to be able to find new codes easily, some of whom choose to be notified each time there's a new one.

While I understand it's useful to chat about the codes in a broader sense, it would be most helpful if you could keep that kind of chat in a separate thread. That way this one can stay super distilled, so it's easy to scour for codes and won't cause extraneous notifications.

Please do start a new Healthspan thread for more in-depth chat, either here on the Discount codes & vouchers board or on the Code not found board, whichever is most relevant. If you like, I can then add that link into this thread and/or to the 'sticky' post. It's ace that a community has grown up around this code-sharing and I hope you feel comfortable to create new threads as needed.

Big thanks,

MSE Laura F

@MSE_Laura_F  Thank you for taking the time out to carefully explain your perception and the logic you are using regarding this hitherto long-standing thread.  As I mentioned previously, the old thread worked well, it had been running from 2004 all the way through to 9 January 2023. For the past few years substantial discounts were posted by many of the regulars. It worked fine, it wasn't broke and didn't need fixing.  

Having said that I appreciate that in this new thread your intention is to separate "chat" from "codes" and to that end you have provided solutions . Though the solution of creating separate Healthspan threads for the same purpose does seem more time consuming, less elegant and somewhat redundant to me. 

BTW, though it may just be coincidence, many old "regulars" appear to have been voting with their feet since the change.

Anyway, again thank you for taking the time out to clarify things. I do acknowledge the bottom line, it is your forum gameboard, and we play by your rules.  So be it.

Check Justmylook website. They sell Healthspan products at a discount. Since there is no more 50% Healthspan discount codes. I buy my supplements when they are in offers there. Hope this helps.

Amazon's Black Friday sale has some Healthspan products showing around 15% discount.  Not much of a saving.
