How can I stop this madness? HELP!

[Ethel]

This is 'how it works'.

Why are all these blerdy crossword clues suddenly appearing here?

Crosswords have their own category where crossword people live:

http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Quizzes-and-Puz zles/Crosswords/

I dare not go there, for I will spend the rest of every waking hour solving everyone elses's blerdy crosswords.

Save my sanity and keep them to the correct category.

PLEASE!!!

And another thing. It makes sense to post nothing but 'UK social care organisation' in the crossword category - at least we have the knowledge it is a crossword puzzle before we even click it.

It is a total nonsense anywhere else.

I am chewing my arm now. Please stop posting crossword puzzles in this category and save my life.

How can we stop it?

J passes our Ethel a large scotch.....

I know, it's darn infuriating when folk just post any old where.... and even more so when they don't even say in the Q that *this is a crossword clue, from such and so newspaper*... doh..

J hopes that poor Ethel's arm is not totally chewed off, or we wouldn't be able to read any of her brilliant answers again !

We need a more *alive* moderator or three on here.... one who can actually shift stuff around (into the correct category) as well as remove the horrors of a drunken Saturday night

Calm down ...chewing your arm solves nothing let alone crosswords !
It is annoying but there you go .I notice sometimes these folk are green ..I always answer them if I can anyway .I always think they may not be good on computers or just a bit confused as to where to start .
It's hardly life threatening is it :)

[Ethel]

Thanks all for the sensible answers.

At least I am breathing now, and not steaming through my ears.

Sorry all.

Ethel,
It is clear thatSD-KG is posting here just to stir things up (possibly someones alias?). Correct answers have not been acknowledged but both your comment and my own one criticising where the post had appeared, have been given stars!!!

[ChuckFickens]

Though at least they did say what crossword it was from and gave the full clue... better then some that just make a statement and expect somebody to guess the question and the answer!

[Ethel]

Now I'm trying to place that fairly recent (last 5 years) sketch of the revolting 'riddle me ree' hotelier with a piccolo .

What WAS that tv programme?

See? They've got me at it now.

Ethel Well said , they pee me off as well , .the idiot's

[Toureman]

With you all the way ETHEL, I just ignore them, if nobody answered they might get the message.

[ianmunt]

solution is not to answer questions that are clearly incorrectly posted.

[gen2]

One of the "absent" editorial team must have heard your cries - the postst have been (re)moved.

[Ethel]

Now I look a fool.


There's a change then :)

[gasman]

I totaly agree with you're comments Ethel. Three cheers... :-) I do wish people would use the relevant category for their post.
