Just caught up on all the posts here and would just like to add that I dont care if GR and FB are "sister" sites :-P

As paying GR members if the team have anything to say about a posting on GR they should reply on the relevant board NOT on FB again just shows they dont care about anything their members are saying to them :-(

As has been said on here will they listen when all the helpers have had enough and not renewed membership. Im seriously thinking of jumping ship this is no longer the site I joined :-(

slides off :-P

had to laugh at the reason "too much work for the team"

At the rate members are leaving, there will soon be NO work for them.

I can imagine the next job inverview........

Where were last employed?

GR

Why did you leave?

All the members left because they were fed up with the shambles

r that was it Sylvia.

Roy I still think that I'll give FB a miss and I'm not really bothered about my local radio station, although I do enjoy the banter between the the two morning presenters.

Island, thanks for the link. I managed to get the gist even though the image was sliding all over my scree :-D

I think that I shall reserve vaseline, along with my jar of Vick's vaporub, for when I want to slip into something a little cooler ;-)

Allan, I am a member on FB but i also share your frustration with this situation,

How ever you need to understand how things work,

By GR being involved with FB and the tactic of posting on FB rather than on GR is to try and divert members of both sites to join the other site,

This increases both memberships which then goes on to generate income for both sites through subs and advertising revenue and then ultimately increases the value of both

Like Scozz, I would also like GR to let us know on these Boards what is going on.

I am fed up with people/organisations thinking that everyone is a member of these various social sites.

Our local radio network runs competitions from time to time with prizes valued up to $1000.00. It gives out clues to the answer BUT only on Facebook.

The programme presenters emphasise the fact that if you don't join them on Facebook then you have no chance of winning. It was only last year that the clues were given out during the broadcasts.

GR should accept that its main means of communication is via this site

Have you seen the GR f/b page on the old picture where you can add a caption, l was going to be naughty and put " did you forget the vaseline, so need it so sand doesn't get up our nose's " ;-)

Reading Katie's reply, I do just wonder if there is some truth in it and she really will have a word with the team concerned. Maybe the fault lies with the training of the teams (and there seems to be more than one). maybe they do need to find out why some delete and some don't.

But also why can't they sort out the whole RR business as they said they would?

But Katie..... thousands of posts? You have to be joking! Hundreds maybe?

yet another reason for me not to renew my subs.

Getting REALLY fed up with GR's attitude to existing members.

They can always come up with an excuse for what they do, whether it's the shambles of a site, or removing posts etc.

I read the "V" thread, thought it was really funny. I found NOTHING there offensive in any way.

I would like an explanation from GR ON THE COMMUNITY BOARD - NOT ON FACEBOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No explanation here is YET ANOTHER way they have ignored EXISTING MEMBERS.

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