I have known where people have to sit it out on the norty step for a few weeks..ie they are not allowed to post for a set time and in a few cases it has been longer.

Some people who have had several posts removed because GR has said that if they continue not to observe the terms and conditions of the site they will be removed from site.

But in answer to your question Sue I have not heard of anyone being asked to remove all their posts.

There may well be interesting and relevant information in some of their posts so would seem a shame to have them removed.

Persie who has gone looking for posts to enable the same information to be issued again for newer people that come along.

Why would anyone wish to stop other members from posting on a thread?

That would be censorship. Disagreements happen from time to time and also opinions change following a discussion; sometimes middle ground is achieved or an agreement to agree to disagree.

I have argued with friends on GR but we know its nothing personal just a difference of opinion. I'd hate to have friends who just agree with me all the time.

Kay, Could it be because of other threads started by herself?

such as http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/genealogy_chat/thread/1325666

So what happened to Freedom of Speech ?

Does it not apply on the boards ?

Why is it being assumed the poster is refering to herself?I read no reference to that at all.!

Editted in view of Kays post below.

If a person deleted their account, they might be able to persuade GR to remove any negative posts which occured after that time.

As the boards aren't actively moderated, it would rely on someone spotting and Reporting the offending post.

Added - While someone is a member, there is no automatic facility to stop people posting on a Community Board. GR *can* block then from sending PM's to named people.

Mmmmm

"How to stop some members posting on ones threads"


This is a "community" board, The clue is in the name

If you only want comment in favour of your posts/threads then this forum is not the place to post,

Try Facebook, You can spout about anything and ban anyone who you don't agree with before you appear on the Jeremy kyle show

May be your affiliation as a political activist could have something to do with you wanting to censor/Edit/add/delete what is written.

So what you are saying indirectly is that if someone posts on a thread you or someone else has started and they do not agree with you, you would like them banned from making any further comments.

Arguments will happen no matter what the subject as we are all individuals with our own thoughts on opinions on every subject ever posted on here.

If we all thought the same what a boring place the world would be :-D

Its easy,,,,,,,if you dont like your neighbour you refrain from contact,GR expect people to be mature and adult enough to use the same self restraint on their site.

They can ban a member or remove posts, they don't need to 'ask' a member to do so.

It says that in the T & Cs. If one continually breaks them one can be banned for life....or at least until one returns under a different name or sets up a proxy IP address.

OR, you could report said member and encourage GR reach a decision as to who is to blame for the conflict, so they may act accordingly. :-D

Edit, alternatively you could politely ASK that member/s to remove all references to you, to not post on your threads again etc... and apologise for the distress you may have previously caused, whether deliberately or inadvertently. That won't of course stop them reading your posts, and reporting them if they find the content is against T & Cs.

Where there is conflict has GR ever asked a member to remove all their posts refering to a member or stop posting on another members threads or writing any thing about them.

I have been advised that legally they can but do they do it.
