Find Living Relatives

nudge, and noting the number of people who have viewed this thread, GR should sticky it! ( if they aren't prepared to include the salient points in their own gudance!!)

may as well give this one a nudge too :-D

It was the Sloane Stranger

who was that person who just whipped through here?

You haven't seen me right?

this thread has some very good advice


I do hope other helpers pay attention


I certainly would not want my address, nor my children's address(es) sent willy nilly to anyone who asked!

Thank you :)

no need for you or anyone to apologise Ice Ice Baby :-)

I just think that although Lianne may be a longtime member of the site

she may not actually know about some of the things that happen on the boards

........ and in fact that is exactly why I started the thread :-)

to make sure that other 'helpers' know what many do already know ... and I had discovered a little to my own chagrin ...

Chrissiex


Forgot to say have also sent an apology to your inbox

Lianne no other thread on this board has anything to do with your thread, no one 'nudges' this thread 'under your thread' in fact when a thread is nudged it goes _above_ every other thread except stickied threads

I have no idea why you think this thread or the position of this thread on the board has anything to do with you or your thread, threads move to the top of the board when a post is added to them, no one can position a thread under someone else's thread

I'm sorry but you are actually the one who does not know what this thread is about ... it is about 'non-genuine' requests and the fact is there have been non-genuine requests, would you want someone using this site to look for your minor children ?

maybe if you have concerns about 'policemen' you would start your own thread about that and remove your comments from this thread so others can remove their replies ... it is so very tiresome seeing the same vague and yet almost identical complaints day in and day out about people like the ones in this thread who spend their time helping others

Hi Ya

I am really sorry to all who have shown a lot of interest in this thread that this page no longer makes much sense

I am also really sorry Chrissie that your thread is a bit hard to understand now on this page !!

Not sure what else to say except Sorry !!!

Yes Fairthorn i do agree, i had thought that was the case with stickied threads (that they couldn't be added to) until I saw mine lol.
:-D

I disagree Fairthorn :-) on consideration, neither thread, nor my own, should be stickied....

What SHOULD be stickied is adequate, informative guidance from GR, noting the points made in these posts and having reference to the personal and legal ramifications of posting and helping on this board. Something i don't believe they gave sufficient thought to in the first place.

I suggested that all queries on this board be moderated by GR before posting. Their reason for not doing so was, I was told, that it would mean some posters would have to wait a whole weekend before their query was added. If one has waited years already a weekend won't kill you.

What was really meant was that it's much cheaper to let the members do the work and slug it out if things go wrong! In my opinion.

Lianne,
I nudged this thread because I believe it is constructive to have the comment where people can see it.

I am probably misunderstanding you but is your complaint about the fact that I nudged this thread and not yours?

By me nudging a general observation, I was not belittling your request.

Yours I see as a specialist request for those who have an extensive knowledge of how the Australian systems work. If the request had been about people here in NZ, I would have endeavoured to help you.

"It may be that we have grown so much from the community that we used to be that everyone is suspicious of every posting. I can understand that, but lets find a happy medium..."
Yes, I like the principle of a happy medium :)

:-(

This was down on page two and needs to be at the top of the first page.

Are the helpers taking any notice? or is it well it can be found on the net so we have every right to hand out address's to whoever asks?

Without even asking what their relationship is to the person

back to the top

:-)

Bring back up to the top

Dont know why really as anyone can ask for an address and it will be given out no questions asked
