is someone interpreting what I said as saying that GR was the RRer? :-)

I didn't ... I'm saying that regardless of what the RRer's motives were, GR may have felt content in the thread was inappropriate for the site.

And yes an explanation should be given.

Ann The speed surprised me to :-D :-D

It's what it sounded like joonie, sorry to misunderstand you, but I've suspected thats been the case for ages. I have no proof of course, but their silence is deafening which years ago in this sort of debacle it wasn't, the 'offender' was always informed and given the opportunity to explain and defend themselves, and whatever the incident, it was always gone into properly and hopefully resolved satisfactorily. Those days now seem a distant memory and sadly we're the worse for it.

I think what we really need is Estelle back running the show
I always found her fair informative and firm when needed
and she never put me on Holiday
without good reason :-D :-D

OH and Phil back to mind
I did get a hot match two days ago
and my search worked during the night
So something is moving in the right direction :-D :-D :-D

I would think that if GR didn't like a thread they would just remove it . No need for them to report it first.

As it is there seems to be so little available resources in GR, that if a report is controversial, then they do remove it but don't have the effort to explain why.

This is an open forum that can be seen by anyone. Why assume any reporting is being done by posters here?

Just stick to trivia, then you'll be fine!

I really don't understand, who is suggesting that GR 'reported' the thread? :-S

I'll try again

the RRer may have had any number of motives, sincere or otherwise

once GR looks at a thread, it could decide to delete it for entirely its own reasons regardless of what the RR said


PS in that case AnnCardiff wouldn't be the 'offender' :-)

not that they give reasons to the offender anyway I gather

and I undoubtedly infer too much about GR's diligence when it comes to evaluating what is in a thread ...

Who knows and frankly now, who cares?!

My experience over the last few weeks during which I have had several posts RR'd ...... usually on a Friday, for some reason o.O ....... is that GR does not always remove such a post, BUT they now never notify you that a post has been removed and thus you do not know why it was removed.

My personal theory is that it is someone who RR's a post giving a reason such as "offensive to me" or "derogatory to xxxxx", and that GR does not read said post but just removes it.

It is useless to ask them to re-institute the thread ............... the excuse in the past has always been that a thread once removed cannot be found again, and that applied even when Phil was around.


Of course, we have no idea of who might have done the reporting as non-paying members can read and report, and it has also been suggested that non-members can also report ................ remembering that much of what is posted on GR soon appears on Google.

Lets hope these migrants will be welcomed on the other sites! :-D

Maybe there is a German one they can join! ;-)

I don't think GR work over the weekend or on a Monday.

Simple solution GR:

Yes I know I have said it twice!

Truly Claire? Then who the heck managed to get rid of that Thread? Methinks the spirits have been active. :-D

JoyLouise, today is Tuesday!

CORRECTION edited
it was reported last night removed today Claire :-(

As far as I'm aware unless there has been some change, as GR and FMP work out of the same office their working week is the same, Monday to Friday. Posts don't usually go over a weekend, but it has been known to happen.

I Remember when some worked from home
and threads could go missing anytime even during the night :-(

Joy I thought it was reported last night and gone sometime today

i though it went last night but i stand corrected
it went this morning round about the time the two threads went up about it
but it was reported last night :-D

SORRY CLAIRE x :-D

This is why people are leaving GR .
Message to GR .. take a look at MSE forums and take a leaf out of their book.
All these RR,s basically leave people with nowt to post about..
These boards used to be amazing..brilliant...fun..they went on well into the night,,
Everyone knew everyone else .. the disagreements made the board even more watchable.. and new members were welcomed..
