Joy, Don't hold your breath on that point :-P

I did that and had to be resuscitated last time i listed to them :-(

If they have sorted it out then why have they not reinstated the thread?

they may have deleted it from the board but they should still be able to reinstate the thread

Now there is a moral to this saga,,,,,


it will get out of hand when using















VASELINE......... ;-) ;-) ;-) :-D :-D :-D :-D.



Its about time they got a mature sensible body that can think outside the box to look at all the RR that arrive in a day........and give some dammed good slappings out to some for being so bloody minded and pathetic........

:-P :-P :-P :-P

It has to rate as very near the top of the very worst decisions GR has ever made!

This is what I have just posted on that thread on FB ...................



GR ........ you were joking surely?!

"In this case they did feel that the best option was to remove thread as it was becoming quite out of hand and causing quite a lot of unnecessary work for the team."

The best option for WHO?

Were the team worried about losing sleep ......... after all it was the night shift who removed the post the second time AND then removed the thread. I know that, because I was around when it happened

I think this ranks very near the top of the very worst decisions that you have ever made!

Pray tell me why I should continue posting on GR (after helping with thousands of inquiries over the years so you can boast about how good the Community Boards are), if you will remove any post or thread that someone complains about, whether or not it is true, because "it's causing too much work"?

Give me 3 very good reasons why I should renew next week if this is the sort of thing that is going to happen?

------------



won't have any effect though!!


They just close their eyes to what is posted on the Boards.

I don't think anyone from GR ever really reads anything we post anyway.

just posted on the thread on FB where they posted that the team had thought removing the thread was the best option ................... lots of VERY angry posts on that thread as a result :-D


This is the response from GR, posted about 10 minutes ago .................


Hi everyone - I'm very sorry for the upset this has caused. It has only just come to my attention, but I will be speaking to the team involved and making sure that there are consistent reasons as to when and why threads are permanently removed. This is an awkward situation for us because what some may deem as 'banter', others may find offensive. But this is no excuse for the inconsistent decisions. The boards are meant to be a place for fun, safe and friendly chat and we do our best to ensure this is how they are used but with thousands of posts a day this is can be a difficult task. Katie - Product Manager.


------------------------------


she does have a point re banter for some might be offensive to others ............... although no-one has to read any thread that seems as though it might to offensive


let's hope that things change :-D

I must be on another GR web site?

thousands of posts a day ?

most boards in recent times hardly move apart from this the general board

today, genealogy chat and find living relatives board have little more than one page of movement and find ancestors has only 4 pages

There was nothing offensive about that thread at all. End of.

What needs to be dealt with are the mindless idiots who come on here every so often and cause havoc by clicking on 'Report' for no apparent reason! How and why are they getting away with it??? :-(
