The random automated requests to open trees are happening again. I had one today. And before anyone says it is someone who doesn't know the system..... :) It was from a contact and we had established there wasn't a connection many moons ago .....They know the site well and, like me, wouldn't dream of sending the automated request to view.

Don't assume they are being rude. I apparently contacted someone asking to view their tree. I hadn't, it was one of GR's glitches. |

Yes but If you believe many of the comments on these boards many of the request to open trees have NOT been made by the people concerned. A week or so ago there was a spate of people complaining that unknown people were opening trees in response to request that had not been sent and so on. C |

There is still a bug in the GR system sending occasional messages. I've been given access to the same man's tree several times without me asking for it and I'm pretty sure he won't have meant to send it to me. He is related to the grandfather of my 3rd half cousin! Not a blood relation of mine at all and we sorted out which bits of tree and which relatives we shared a couple of years ago. I have been deleting him from my contacts list for weeks. So don't assume that all messages are coming from rude people....though there are some occasionally. Sue |

i agree and these people are often very loosly related but seem to copy your whole tree i have had one individual ask several times to view tee and i never opened so she asked my aunt who willingly gave her the access now all our details are on this persons tree, you have to be careful |

I had a person 2 days ago e-mail twice about a person in my tree back in the 1800's.The first e-mail asking what connection and the second one asking by automatic reply to view my tree.I gave this person the connection and the rest of the children.I have had 2 more automatic replys asking to view my tree.This person has not opened there tree.I refuse to open mine as i think if someone cant be bothered to e-mail you properly and ask the questions themselves then why should i bother showing them my family.Why are some people really rude and expect something from you?
