Are you sure about the "Books classified" section?

[ZeroFunDame]

There are five in Active threads atm.

Is this really going to work - for people not selling books?

I tried to hide the topic, but it doesn't actually appear in the Topics list under customise, so is unkillable. I hate chicklit!

The free offer has only been going since Monday and the fees will kick in after Friday so I'd guess MNHQ will be having a review of the situation at - say - the end of May or the end of June? It's a bit early to tell I'd have thought?

What the blardy hell is this all about then?

I've hidden 3 of them already this morning and I've only scrolled through Active Convos once!

Has there been a thread or a stickie about it all?

The thing is - it's not discussion.

Nothing wrong with selling, makes the world go round etc, but might it not have been more appropriate to make a new space within MN rather than having this on the Talk boards?

I agree, it's annoying already and unhideable

I suspect you won't be much bothered with them after tomorrow - £50 is arguably one heck of a fee to pay so the numbers should go way down after the free offer is over. A couple a week max I would have thought.

I agree, it's annoying already and unhideable

I agree - we should at least be given the choice to hide all threads as with other talk topics rather than having to do each one individually.

Mintyy - yes there was an MNHQ thread to introduce this. I would link but I can't find it!

Hi everyone - we've removed these threads from active now. Is anyone still having trouble?

There is an offer on with this topic at the moment, which is why there are so many threads popping up. The offer ends tomorrow at lunchtime so it should calm down after that.

Ah, thanks for updating Becca.

I think it's great to offer space for people to publicise their books - but it surely needs a separate area?

(And perhaps some guidance for the contributors on how not to stereotype, insult the intelligence of, or generally talk down to MN members ...)
