Oooh I didn't know that!!!! Thanks Heather, I'll remember that! Bev x

Bev, I don't know if you are aware, if someone contacts you under another name, you can go into contacts, hover over the delete button and their member number comes up. Heather

Membership numbers attached to names is a brilliant idea and I'm sure every decent member would agree. But could they also be attached to messages so that Mr or Mrs Anonymous(s) with an axe to grind are no longer quite so anonymous. Bev x

I agree Ann and have just emailed Gr with regards attaching member numbers to our names. Will let you know if I get a reply. Heather

I am very sorry to read that Dee has left. I have sent a message to you, Paul. Joy

It doesn't solve the basic problem of Dee leaving but she is hopefully going to send me a couple of quizzes to put on the board. I wonder if GR admin have read this thread and know what is going on. Maybe we should all mail them. Ann Glos

Dee, please come back. I really miss your quiz sessions. Please, please, - pretty please with a cherry on top? Beth :)

I havent a clue what has gone on here, but it is a real shame, it has had this effect.. Hope you can sort things out Dee and be back here with us all soon Maz x

Please come back Dee cos I really looked forward to your quizzes! Julie xxx

That's really sad news - Dee seemed like a really nice lady. She will be missed. Anna

Come back Dee! - It's been my one ambition to be quick enough to get all the answers to a quiz right!! - Now what am I going to do? Please come back. I am so sorry you have been upset - but remember there are more good people on here than morons! I agree with Gwynne and Heather - the only way to go to please everyone is membership number tagging. It still won't stop those who reregister under an assumed name specifically to be nasty and malicious - but at least it could help. Mags xxx

I agree with you Gwynne, it's as simple as that, tattoo our member number to our name whatever it is. Heather

sorry to hear about dee i know every one will miss her daily threads and quizz even though i was too slow to add i still read them ann xx

To avoid multiple identity problems all GR have to do is put our membership numbers alongside our names. Then we can change our names as often as we like - we will still be easily identified. If this was in place when Dee had her problem then it would have been quickly resolved. I cannot understand why they don't do it. This won't stop people registering under false names to cause trouble or complain to abuse. That is also something only GR can solve. Gwynne

Paul, please tell Dee I miss her threads and would love to see her return to the site, suex

I've just read this thread and I'm really sorry that Dee has left the site. She is a lovely person and I shall miss her. Helenxx

Paul, please pass on my best wishes to Dee. I have always enjoyed her threads. As soon as this name-changing problem is addressed, the better. It is certainly breeding discontent and distrust. BC

I hope all those who are friends with Dee, and have whined about wanting to change their names for 'Fun' purposes, step back and take a look at the upset constant name change can do. People can get hurt, and now a valued member has left because of problems this has caused her. Begger the character names in your fun threads,,,,,,,,, real peoples feelings count more in my book. ***************DISCLAIMER******************* This posting is NOT aimed at those who genuinely cannot reveal their true identitys for personal reasons. I understand for some this is a sensitive area. Elaine x

I've had a response from the email I sent to Dee. Basically, she said that she was unhappy about the situation with regard to people frequently changing their identities. She has had trouble more than once on here with someone used a false name, and was unhappy when discussions about his yesterday morning were removed (she added to a couple of threads and those threads disappeared, whether the author or GR removed them I dont know). She decided she'd had enough and left. If anyone wants to pass a message to Dee, please let me know and I'll forward them by mail. Paul

Dees A-Z thread is still there however if you click her name it says error E x
