Hi Everyone She was on again this morning Oz time ,I reported her to genes again and I had a reply saying thankyou for bringing it to there attention and they deleted her thread .
I did say that she was disrupting the boards and it is about time that they did something about it as it has been going on far to long .
I have not seen her all day but that means nothing,fingers crossed,I don't want anymore Pms from her ,she is freeky.Sue

I get the feeling GR are deleting her threads as and when we report them, but as for actually contacting her and warning her???

They really really hate getting email.


"May I assure you that we have taken appropriate action regarding this member and we are monitoring the messageboards. The quickest way of reporting problems on the messageboards is by using the Request Review link against the posting. This is logged immediately and the offending post is removed if deemed unsuitable and the member either warned or in some cases given a ban."


It may be the quickest way, but it is obviously totally ineffective.

The "appropriate action" may have been a suspension. Her account does appear to be still active.

Very few people in the world actually have a clue how to deal with people with mental illnesses like these.

Trying to humour them or help them sort things out is wasted effort and can be risky. I do not want to be cruel, but this is a simple fact. These problems are not for amateurs to deal with. Close friends and family can try to get the person the help they need. Strangers really can't do anything, and do not help the person in any way by pretending the problem is not what it is.

Thought we'd seen the last of her, hope she doesn't start her old tricks up again.

Can you get GR to block her mail to you??

Good luck, I only got 2 pm's from her hopefully she's given up on me.

Hi Christine That sounds threatening to me I would copy and paste it and send it to Genes.
How dare she Pm any of us anyway that have nothing to do with her family Tree.

I have passed that text on to the site management in an email to the "Genes Support Team" in reply to the last one I received, Christine. Along with my disbelief at their mishandling of this situation.

Thanks Evie
I am still trying to find the "report abuse" button that always seems to be there but I have never needed. That message could have been sent to a timid person. I know of a number of elderly people on here who would have been terrified.

If you are getting emails like Christine and getting nowhere with Genes then tell Genes you are reporting to the police. Harrassment is a crime.

I have still had no reply from GR. They should have at least acknowledged it by now..

Any one seen the papers yet.
