General Chat

Good Day to you all again Now you have slept do you have anything else you might want or change from/about this site? Ron ;-)

Thats ok Dave no problem

OK if you only have one now thats fair enough Ron , I take it back Dave

I can asure you i only have one accout. I did not have to answer that but i did. This thread is not about me it's about all members and how we would like to see the site bettered

Well Ron I have been told off a couple of members a while ago that you have 3 accounts? Ok if you only have one now thats ok but we cant be hypocrites can we? In fact I was given account numbers ! Dave

Joe I won't get involved in that one for my own resons but have found them to be both pleasent at different times

Do you think so Ron ,i do then if there was someone you did want to avoid you could,and they would be registered as the come on and off.

That would be a good idea

aWHO'S online now, to see who is on boards at the time

Maureen Thats correct once you get the Red card your out of here. I think it would make the site that bit better as people might think twice about cousing any agro

Ron I will keep my message brief. All sites to be used by' paying members only' Then surely only serious FH members would log on!! they would not be able to research if 'thrown off site by a red card'!! Or am I missing something? Mau xx

Moderating should be impartial and therefore done by employees of GR, who may not be members, but may post, in their moderating role. Members may advise others that they are sailing too close to the wind, but that should be as far as far as it can go - I do not agree with the suggestion that one of the rules should be 'When someone says LEAVE IT, then LEAVE IT!' - this would be open to value judgements and would just cause further controversy. I also agree with NO posting for free membership Jay

In addition... I think it has been said before, in the matter of board names, that on another forum, you may click on the board name to see the name that the member is formally registered under. I think this could be adopted on here. i.e. I could become Fifi Le Clerc but if you clicked on that name - you would see me either as the name I registered under - which in turn should correspond with any card details I have used to pay; or as another name I have elected to use for GR purposes, linked to the name I registered under and again to the card details. Where people have their subscription paid by someone of a different name their application should be vetted separately by GR. Membership numbers should be permanently affixed to every post made.

Stop non paying members adding to success board also stop them putting their tree on here we have to pay why not them Sue......... They just sit back wait for someone to reply if they have a connection

Joe, My thread was initially intended for votes for Moderators ... but as you can see, it became a thread for debate. This thread is for suggestions on what can be done. As you say, similar threads but both with different intentions ...and anyway, I put MY thread up first :-))) lol ner ner ! I have read your post .... and was OK upto the last sentence ... maybe the heat is getting to me :-) Elaine ;-)

Suspend the General Board after 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Reg

Hate to say this ......... and I KNOW I am going to get slammed for it. There is a very simple solution to all this. People ( I presume - certainly me ) join Genes to initially do the FT's. Records Office and Tips Board are a fundamental part of the site. Is there a necessity for a General Board ? Do we not have other ways of communicating with people we do seem to get on with and want to communicate with ? I know its NOT the same as having such a varied amount of topics to discuss .. and yes, I think we are spoilt in this respect ! ... but maybe Chat Rooms are a better idea. Since General is usually the only board I use now, then yes, I have got a lot to loose by saying this... ... but is the answer to get rid of General Board ?? ..... I have heard it threatened before ... maybe this latest lot of problems will push GR over the edge ?? Elaine ;-(

*waves to Ron* Some good suggestions there. Babs, sweetie, you're turning blue in the face, please stop holding your breath :-)

Well along with everyone else I think< the success board surely is for MEMBERS who have success thro Genes with their research. How can a non paying member ,who hasn't any connections with the site claim that the site has helped them.. Make ALL postings a fee paying member privilege only.And, make the trying to find board easier to post on without having to make up a fictitious rellie before you can access that board

Anybody wish to add anymore? Maybe you thought of something thats been over looked
