I admit it is a long time since I looked at the Guidelines for posting on Message Boards - but they seem to be rather new, reflecting what has been going on over the past few days. OC

But will people bother, some are just out for a free ride so there would not care. Genes themselves have to stop them at point of entry

At least it looks like genes are screening what goes on the success board. I didn't try and post anything,but I expect it doesn't appear straight away, only after they have vetted it. I for one appreciate the fact that they are trying, even if it's just a token effort, to stop all that malarky. Maybe that's what slowed down the site (not making Hot matches useable :-) )

I'd like to think they were vetting messages first, but doubt if the latest one was Joan

I'm not sure anything had changed. i just added a message ( deleted it again thought!) and it appeared straight away. GR site as a whole had the grumps yesterday so maybe stuff wasn't appearing staright away. jess x
