Hello Mersey, you missed a lot of RRing, quite a fest it was :-P

Seems ive missed all the RRing .... oooo well never mind same ole same ole ;-)

two whole op posts,,,,,just by magic........ :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D.


you dont look so disjointed now Sues,,,,, ;-)

Too right, plus the increasing number of Senior moments :-0 ;-)

lol Det, hard to keep up isn't it? :-D

Its back now......double checked that it is ;-)

Roy, I'll believe it when I see it!

Despite GR saying the boards are monitored 7 days a week it looks like 5 days is also too much trouble,

I'm surprised that GR have not reinstated it yet, and the other inoffensive posts that have also been RRd

Was it? Doh :-(

I feel so special <3

It was RR'd within an hour.....yesterday....


:-D

And the OP has now been RR'd :-(

The problem for any web site is that they have a legal defense so long as they don't moderate the board a priori. If they start to moderate it then legally they become the publisher and can be sued for anything posted and copyright infringement on top if applicable to the post. Defending libel actions is expensive. If the moderators are working for free it makes no difference as they are agents of the web site.

The world has always had people who like to express themselves with graffiti, slashing seats, wrecking flowerbeds, starting brawls in bars, driving an inch behind the guy in front and so on. The internet is no different. I once worked as a volunteer in a mental health facility. One of the doctors said that half the world is mad but nobody knows which half. He also said that a lot of people ( it was the 1970s ) were diagnosed as being nuts simply for having a different point of view. I like to think we have moved on a bit since then but on reflection probably not.

It is difficult to see how GRU could order things in any other way given the legal constraints. The only obvious improvement would be to review referrals more quickly.

T&C are of course another matter and mostly fall outside of s5. For my 2c the term in the standard conditions that other family history web sites cannot be discussed is pretty silly. I had a post dropped - by GRU - simply for asking if another well known site was up or not!

I too am disappointed by the way in which the Facebook site is run.

lolol MrDaff we have mentioned IP addys before, bit too much of an effort. Funny that init when you can customise your website reports to the nth degree nowadays.

It seems to happen more at the weekends !!

And who in their right mind would google words to get to GR boards!? so I think its someone old or simple .....................................old i mean past member simple I mean someone without a life

I don't no if you are aware that the boards are supposed to be monitored 7 days a week

see the thread that Joy posted "When threads or posts are reported: inconsistency" on the suggestions board and the answer given by Estelle 4 Dec 2012 15:19

Anyone can read the GR posts, but unless they subscribe they cannot 'join in'. Therefore it is very very annoying that GR should allow such voyeurs the 'privilege to RR a post, when it would be quite easy to block such actions (but, of course, that means a little bit of time re-jigging a tiny bit of the programme and, ooooh, a few quid too, tsk).
However, the variation of posts receiving RR's in the last 48hrs does seem to indicate 'an insider' (shiver!!!!) :-P

RR awaited..... :-\

Dunno Kemp it's the weekend so I guess the admin are thin on the ground.

But why does it take so long to get them put back?? when theres nothing wrong with them....madness

One post lasted 2 mins the other day then gone
