General Chat

I also agree with SRS. enough unpleasantness without imagining it before we actually know.

Jean passed away on Xmas Eve, so its just over a week since the thread went up, but it wasn't stickied until a few days later, & the 2 weeks should run from the date it was stickied, or at least thats what GR implied.

I hope GR will offer Lynda an explanation on why it went, especially after a previous stickied thread for Jean also went for no reason at all .

Its a bit of a coincidence isn't it ??

Hello my lovely Uggers ((((Hugs))))

You're right there's been quite a few mishaps lately. Perhaps if more time was taken, it would save them time in recriminations later.

Oh dear I do hope it is a glitch and GR can somhow bring it back............even if someone did complain I'm sure GR would have ignored the request

You're absolutely right Lynda!

Even non contentious threads such as scrap-booking have been removed without explanation from general (nb. not that I'm saying Jean's thread was contentious)

I just think it's such a shame in this instance that the thread was so important. Also why delete it, surely they can unsticky a thread without deleting?

The site is becoming increasingly unstable. The reply received about the previous stickied thread that had disappeared was that an error in the site had caused its disappearance.

OMD's..this is unbelievable

GR do not have the ability or software to retrieve threads

once deleted they are gone forever

or so they told me

I was wondering about that Joy, there appears to be a lot of random deletions - perhaps GR needs an overhall? I wonder if they had merged the 2 companies together whether this system would have been scrapped?

Lesley there is no two companies

the fair trading commission have stopped the sale
so find my past are unable to go ahead with the purchase of gr

If they say it was deleted by accident - then you have to ask what the hell reason did they have to be on it in the first place ???

No reason that i can think of other than someone complaining about it - sorry, but can't help being cynical.

Hi Joy, I realise that, I was just speculating about what might have happened if they had.

I think something needs to be done about the current system (when i say system i don't just mean the computer side of things but what happens when people report posts/threads)

Lesley they are not going to install new software
if they are expecting to sell the site its not a viable proposition

maybe we should put an offer in while its going for peanuts

But they could change their system on deletions...that doesn't need any software updates.....just reading the thread first. ;)

Oh drat Joy, I think I've eaten all the peanuts I had over Christmas & I finished the pistachios days ago.

they told me the only thing they could do was
install the RR button which lets them see
the genuine reason for complaint
and a judgement could be made on the exact posting

If there is a thread that GR are going to remove
why dont they email the person that put up the thread, BEFORE they delete it , at least then you would have a chance to talk to GR before they do it .
or is that asking to much of GR .

Please correct me if I am wrong, BUT i am sure that the thread WAS stickied for a while BEFORE they(GR) posted that it was to sticky for two weeks.......if that was so, then the sticky had run its 14 day course......
but I think it should have stayed as a normal thread because of the info on the later few pages........

Bob

iv just been told u can remove a sticky thread if your the originator, i didnt no that, but as lynda has sd it wasnt her,
back to gr


no bob lyndas, wasnt sticked till 2/3 days ago, it was up for a weel before that un stickied,
then gr stickied it with a post saying it wld be stickied for two weeks, two weeks have not passed,

unless 3 days is now 2 weeks?

xxxx

It's definitely not been up long enough. Also correct me if I'm wrong but Jean's funeral hasn't even passed yet.

stray,

thats what I was trying to say that maybe they counted the start of the thread as the start of the two weeks....
