So why do posts that contain an email addy get reported and get put back with the email addy removed.

Double standards !!!!!!

The T&C extract that is in GB's post, advises against posting email addresses. It doesn't say it is not allowed.

so .........


............................. obviously, GR staff dance to a different tune than members, and are allowed to post their email address, and advertise books written.

I believe that GB's post referred to the following posted on 3 Feb

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/success_stories/thread/1336970


a post allegedly posted by a daughter telling the story of a mother's 60+ year search for an adopted child, with a successful conclusion as a result of the daughter's membership on GR.

It was seemingly posted by a member of GR staff

It contained BOTH a personal email address AND also advertised a book that the "member" had written.

BOTH are against the T&Cs!


Several people saw it on Sunday. It was reported, then re-instated this morning, and has now been reported again.



Are GR staff allowed to ignore the T&Cs imposed on members?


If so, why?

Could someone from the Team please explain why they do not stick to their own Terms and Condtions ?

Why can they post an email addy belonging to a member ?

Margaret, If you move your cursor to your name (in blue) on one of your posts,
you should see a bannner appear at the bottom left of the screen.

This is of the form:
http:// followed by www.genesreunited.co.uk/messages/new/ ending with a number. That number is your GenesReunited membership number.

Thank you, Shelley, for the reassurance about the Team.

Following your statement that Hannah will be monitoring the Genealogy Chat board moving forward, will other members of the Team be monitoring other boards?
And will the Team's information be reinstated?

Thank you.

Hi Natasha
I only started researching my family tree at Christmas and I am not addicted.
Everyone on the thread has helped me greatly and they found my grandma which I am most grateful for.
Can you let me know if there is a way to print off my family tree on what I have found so far? :-(
