Could we possibly have a different description for this forum, please? The joke falls a little flat for us students

Quick Question.

Myself and others have requested that The Student Loans Company (and the problems related to it) is given it's own "sub-forum".

Would it be possible to either move those threads in here, or give us a sub forum so that we can channel our advice/experience/problems?

For instance:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...s-company.html

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...any-smith.html

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...y-general.html

And specifically:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...-could-we.html

It's often difficult, when you first join CAG to post in the right place, or know where to look for help. I just thought this might be an option.

Thanks for considering it.

This thread needs to be moved to this forum. (Not sure of the procedure for such things if someone would like to enlighten me?)

I'll move it.

Next time, just hit the button, and say in the reason box: Please move to the Students Forum.
The next moderator to see it will move it then.

I'll ask again - please, could someone change the description of this forum? It's really not very funny in the slightest (sorry to whoever thought it up...)

[CAGisforME]

Thanks Bookworm!

(Sorry - still coming to grips with the specifics!)

SOoooooooo good to see a forum for those of us battling with the SLC etc!

[CAGisforME]

Hi demon,

I agree. I know that it was supposed to be "tongue in cheek" or whatever, but it isn't really very nice and not really in the spirit of the site is it?

Mods? If you are listening?

[Bookworm]

Nothing to do with mods, you'll have to take it up with the big boss himself, folks!

[demon_x_slash]

I've tried to PM the Big Man, but his inbox is full. So, in the hopes he may read this: Please, the description's meant to be funny, we know, but it really doesn't come across that way

[noomill060]

Oh, FFS, lighten up!

[demon_x_slash]

No, since you've replied so flippantly, I won't. No other forum has a 'little comment' about the people involved in said forum. I am frankly fed up with the bad press that students get as a social group, and didn't expect it from CAG. I'll reiterate, I know that it was meant in a jokey way, but I'm afraid that it has caused me offence. I can't change that to make you happy, noomill. Sorry

EDIT: I just want to say again, it was a polite request, that I only keep repeating because I haven't had an answer yet. Until I get an answer, either yay or nay, I'll consider this still open.

[CAGisforME]

I really didn't want to wade in.

But.

Come On!!!!

It's great that we have a sub-forum to discuss all things studenty and especially the bottom feeders that fashion themselves as the Student Loans Company.

Ok, so BF's little joke may not be to everyone's taste, but this site is about being POSITIVE in the face of adversity. Lighten up people - PLEASE

[CAGisforME]

I have attempted to PM BF too. His In-box is full.

Could someone "in the know" ask him to look at this again please? In the spirit of unity!

Thanks!
