The Top Regular Savers Discussion Thread

This is officially the new thread for Regulars, Nick's isn't and just seems to confuse.

People are still posting in the old one.

I guess the only way to reduce the confusion is to lock the old one, maybe stick a old/archive name tag on it, make this new thread the same name and stick new name tag on it.

As for Archived History thread maybe rename to Archived Regular T& C's  or something?

Even though things have already been explained in the threads, you still going to people still posting etc in wrong place until things are clearer in terms of thread title etc.

I just did, inadvertently!

@Bridlington1

Might I suggest 
Regular Savers: Top Account Discussion and Regular Savers: New, NLA and Archived T&Cs - **no chat**

That'd join the two up rather nicely, and provide a better outline for what the latter exists to do, IMHO.

Yep. That makes it clear it's for new as well which the info in the threads did but the name didn't.

It's ok, it's a new era & things aren't fully setup/established etc yet so people are a bit confused etc.

What makes this thread "official"?  (Rhetorical question)

This thread is for discussing RSAs, both new and NLA.

My thread is purely for notifying people that new RSAs have been launched, and to allow these notifications to stand out and not be buried in endless chatter (such as "I got 2p interest more than you", or "I am going to try to abuse the T&Cs of an account by doing this").  This thread and mine should not conflict with each other. 

I am sorry if you are confused but I don't see why.  I have tried to explain the reason for my new thread clearly and simply.  If you don't want to use my thread, then don't.    

I don't want to bog down this thread with endless off topic chatter about whether or not we needed a new thread with a new purpose (we now have one), but if you refer to me directly or obliquely I will exercise my right to reply.

The community has a belief in @Bridlington1. That's all there is to it.

You definitely can launch your thread. If it sticks and people posting it, all is well. If not, all is well too.

Nothing official or not official, all MSE users has a choice to post or not to post where they like. Or they can start their own post announcing new RS.

So do I.  He has made some excellent contributions to the Forums in the relatively short time he has been here, and I am glad that he has taken on the role previously carried by SS2.

I did suggest to Bridlington1 that we needed a new thread to notify people of new accounts, but that was something he did not want to do.  As he didn't want to do it, I did.  No need for any conflict.

ETA: personally, I think further comments about whether we needed a new thread or not are unhelpful, and are now putting people off visiting this thread.  Some self restraint all around might be useful.

But we do kind of have a thread for notifying of new accounts - it’s @Bridlington1’s no chat thread I thought - it also will notify for rate changes and NLA which I took to be the same kind of purpose, unless I’m missing something.

Seems the unofficial no chat thread is a chat thread anyway so not much point to it as far as I see

Before rushing to make judgements on these threads let's allow things to settle for a while. Any change is difficult but II am convinced that, with @Bridlington1's knowledge, input and experience, it will all be good.
