Just noticed that Sky Arts is re- running their Masterclass series starting at 8.00 am on Sky freeview 36 .
I loved it the first time round .

How is this spam ?
I'm recommending a TV programme .

Thanks for letting me know. I’d love to see it.

What???

Oh dear, oh dear! I see the spam police are out in force today. This isn’t the first post I’ve seen where’s there’s been a report submitted!
Come on GNetters, if you don’t like a thread, scroll on, don’t just report it and spoil it for everyone else!

I'm at a loss as to why anyone would report this though? I have only ever reported things which are clearly spam, usually with a dodgy link attached.

What is this programme please? I've had a look on the Sky Arts programme schedule and I can't find it.

What is it a masterclass in? Could be interesting.

Free view channel 36 at 8.00 am .
Also on YouTube.
I've watched it three times and I'm still enjoying watching artists explain their techniques.

I assume there was a spam post and Tozliz reported it, it will have been removed totally, so it looks as though it’s OP being reported.

Esmay Fri 04-Sept-26 08:03:04

I don't have shares in Cass Art who sponsor Sky Art so why would I be reported?
I'm not aware of writing anything untoward on any forum .
It's on now -brilliant programme if you love Art as much as I do .

It’s difficult to report a post when Gransnet removes the offending post but leave the ‘reporting’ post. Perhaps in future I will not put up a reporting post - it is not nice to be jumped on

Tizliz Sat 05-Sept-26 08:42:17

Esmay there was a suspicious link in the next posting which is what I was reporting

Apologies, but when the 'offending' post was removed completely, it did look as if it was the original post which had been reported, so you can hardly blame people for thinking that.

Hi Tizliz -not to worry .
It's just one of those things !

Maggiemaybe Sat 05-Sept-26 11:01:50

GNHQ really need a better system. Perhaps instead of removing the spam post altogether, just replacing it with a message saying it’s been deleted. Isn’t that what used to happen?

My daughter is one of the artists on this programme.

Esmay Sat 05-Sept-26 17:33:21

I'm full of admiration for the artists on this programme .
My daughter is also an artist and lecturer ,but hasn't participated.
I'm tempted to do the landscape one .

In theory, we can received Sky Arts here. In practice, forget it (unless you like looking at a shivering screen full of jagged interference lines). So much for the Great Improvement that digital TV was hailed as... Hope you all enjoy it.
I'm soooo envious. envy

I think you might confused as to what constitutes Spam.
Plus the fact that the OP is a well known long time member.

There was a dodgy link in the SECOND post, not the original post. Think I will just leave them in future

What is it they say, Tizliz? No good deed goes unpunished? smile

I’ll be thinking twice about reporting spam too after this thread.

Tizliz Sun 06-Sept-26 09:52:41

It is a shame it has become a distraction from the orginal posting.

Esmay Mon 07-Sept-26 07:36:27

I think that it's finished on Sky now but you can watch it on YouTube.
I'm fascinated by the techniques-my own for landscape are completely different .
