General Chat

I agree with RRose - the help button and 'contact us' should be made much clearer - I can never remember where the 'contact us' is on the few occasions I use it.

I missed most of the hulabaloo earlier but am now concerned that whenever there is a difference of opinion between posters that Genes will remove the thread as it will (appear to ) be argumentative.......

Assuming that it was a genuine error, the main reason for this would be, I imagine,that members who are not familiar with how to access GR 'Support' via 'Help' might think this was the only way to get in touch?

It IS hard to spot the 'Help' option , as evidenced by a number of posters recently, new members usually, who have sought it for various reasons ( either for a direct contact email to admin or to access the FAQs etc) and it is not very clear where it is.

I have posted on the 'Suggestions' board that it be highlighted more effectively.

It was the OP Ann, I saw it had been RRd too.

My posts were in a very similar vein to others but I wasn't reported :-S

I have now removed my posts. Hopefully, the thread will resume it's dignity.

Not that I am cynical of course, but I do really wonder if the person who RR'd it, REALLY made an error. It would be far better to own up and tell the truth.

this post was reported and reinstated within minutes

Ref Ann Cardiff's remark. Was a post of mine reported? If so I didn't see it. Which was it does anyone know?

Sorry i put a thread up saying i removed mine ..will delete it now


jgee

I have had a reply from support as well.

We could have drawn a line under it if whoever it was had popped on the thread and explained. we actually did comment that it could have been done in error but didn't know how. the upset was caused by people thinking it may have been done maliciously. (cue Joun leaping on with his criticisms). Maybe there needs to be a stickied thread explaining what happens when a thread is reported!

Have removed my posts and received similar reply as GB

I got this from GR

It was a terrible shame this post was reported, but after emailing the reporter, we discovered that they were actually requesting that the thread was unstickied rather than that they had found it abusive.
It was a mistake and the other member is really sorry if they caused any upset by their mistake.
I hope this explains why the post was reported and that we can now draw a line under this.

think we all know :-D

Only my second, Ann., in 10 years. It really is time GR woke up to who the troublemakers really are - it's obvious to the rest of us.

My deleted post referred to a very insensitive remark made by someone on Sandie's thread. Mentioning that person by name seems to have caused some upset. I'd have thought the person would stand by what they said if it was justified rather than report me.

If anyone would like to know which person posted the crass remark and what I said in response feel free to pm me.

That HAS to be a world record...lololol :-D :-D

oh well since my post has been reported , the gist, I DID think it was important to show GR's email that said the report of Sandie's thread was "reported in error"


The tribute thread was reported in error - the other member was trying to contact us to ask us to unsticky the thread as the last message of support was posted 20th July.

Kind Regards,"

sure was - GR on the ball today!! all offensive postings on Jude's Sandie thread have now been removed

Wow that was quick getting it reinstated.

well what a surprise - never ever seen aything posted by AnnGlos being reported!!!!

Only one dissenting post on it, Rose, can't see how that could be described as an argument. All others in agreement.

I can't imagine who would have reported it.

A quick mea culpa would have saved an awful lot of trouble yesterday and I do not believe the person would have been vilified for a genuine confessed mistake.

Rose I didn't see anything which would have constituted an argument.
