see 18th reply to this thread for GR e-mail I received today. nell

thats brilliant nell aint genes just the best:) susie

nell, have just sent you a private message, and gone the 'happy error'- i trust you got the message- it was important jess

That's good news Nell, please keep us updated. Mandy :)

Hi Nell, I should think they will look into it urgently, the whole thing is very worrying and needs sorting out in such a way it won't happen again. I think it's awful that GR members can have this happen to them. You have been so upset over this understandably wonder will they be reinstating the thread? I do hope so, small compensation for all this upset. Pat x

I would have expected nothing less, Nell. Now I hope they reinstate your thread which I thoroughly enjoyed. Jean x.

Jess I have not received your private e-mail, but I have sent you one myself. Have you got it? nell

At last, Nell. :-) Joy

have now, will message you again * Have messaged you, Nell. Jess xx

Jess Read and replied to! nell

Thank Nell, much appreciated. ( you might like toread my reply on joys extended school day thread! I like my job!!) jess xx

Nell, glad to see that you have received a reply from GR, more than I have! Hope that they sort out all the problems. The tips board used to be a very interesting and informative, and even sometimes humorous board to read. I have learnt such a lot over the last few months on here. BUT over the last couple of weeks there has been so little that is new. Last night the phantom nudger was at work bringing forward old threads made it look like there was lots going on but most was old and the nudges deleted. Just wish it could be like it was. Jo

Nell hadn't realised you also had been targeted by whoever these people are. Sorry to hear about that and glad that GR have said they're sorting it out. Jan :-)

That's good news Nell, glad to hear that GR are looking into these problems. Heather

any more news yet, Nell? Joy

RECEIVED TODAY FROM GR: obviously we do not want to lose members as we value everyone's contribution to the site. However, we do have guidelines to follow and cannot be seen to be following these guidelines for some members and not for others. Your thread was reported to us and we acted on this report. You have not been singled out by anyone, I can assure you. However, we do investigate all reports of abuse or threads posted on the wrong boards. I am sorry you are upset by this, but we are just following our own guidelines. If you do see anything that you think should not be on the message baords then please report it to our abuse administrator. Regards Estelle NELL

however, unfortunately, the guidelines are being followed for some and not others. Joy

Joy I think GR follow the guidelines - its just that most people have better things to do than e-mail them saying 'oh dear someone has put a trying to find on the general board' or 'oops, a look-up request on the tips board'. nell

well, I know some people don't like the idea, but I still wish that there were moderators (as there are on other sites to which I subscribe - and I am not talking about family history ones), then at least some people's threads would not be singled out; also I wish that only fee-paying members could access, read and post, and send messages to GR.
