    I only pointed out in this post as I happen to notice it ie wanted Xbox 360 premium console The other one I didnt go into.

    TBH I am sick to death of spammers, scam merchants and now some posts like this on a grabbit. I been a member for over 3 years but since about November the grabbit forum is a joke we have had all sorts of requests on here now.

    I am so fed up of it now that I rarely report posts anymore because of the lack of moderation on MSE

    You need to get out more.

    Hi all
    Im looking for the cheapest price on a Xbox 360 premium console this is the one with the 20 gb hard drive. If you know of any good deals can you please let me know i've been looking but can't seem to find a good deal :(

    thanks

    Hi, I saw the x-box premium with two free games, Halo 3 and another one for £250 in HMV. I think it was the premium, but it might have been a 'pro' now that I'm thinking about it! I was asking about an elite for my son but the fella in the shop said this one was a better deal.

    I can sympathise - i saw a decline in moderation since Redfox disapeared - no offense to the current board guides of course.
    I even got a pm from a mod kindly requesting me not to report incorrect posting to the boardguides, so they can find them in their own time!

    I guess us 'old school' members were used to a tightly run ship, especially when the threat of court action from Sainsburys arose. So we made efforts to ensure rules were adhered to, just to ensure the board remained for all to use and it wasn't closed down.

    Times have now changed, with a lot of emphasis on the reclaiming unfair charges (banks, credit cards, etc), that i feel the Grabbit board has now lost its way, and turned in to a 'what ever goes' board.
    It is a shame, as finding deals on here was quick and simple, and unquestionably was the best deal site on the web. Nowadays we have to trawl through unrelated threads, and certainly are not the number 1 uk deal site anymore.

    I understand this site is more than just deals, it's just a shame that through lack of moderation, this board has lowered its effectivness.

    These are just my observations and i'm not point fingers at 'newbies' and such like. But in my opinion if there was better guidance we would have a more effective board as it was before.

    I been out tonight I came back in at 9.10 pm and still find the same post posted many hours before, sadly its not infrequent this problem of inappropriate posts

    Its irrelevant what I do with my own time, I was mealy expressing my opinion based on the my experience on here.

    I know I am not alone in that view that the forums are getting full of spam and inappropriate posts.

    Nope, there are so many stupid bankers on this forum now I dont think its possible too be nice to them all, HUKD is the best bargain site at the moment by a mile this site does not come close has too many bleeding hearts that think a kind word or piece of advice will stop people posting in the wrong forum, it wont! I believe the answer to it all is in my avatar:eek: and if we could make it a rule that only people who can count to 20 without taking their shoes and socks off are allowed to post on here it would be great, membership may drop by 90% but what joy not to see another "I want 2 no where I can get a cheep lofe of bred from in da sarf east" post again! usually this type of post meets with some bleeding heart who usually replies with " I find Tesco's do a nice bloomer for a £1" and off we go to a new thread............!
