My youngest daughter managed to secure 3 tickets to see Genesis in November. Up in the gods but the atmosphere will be amazing. We are all very excited !!! I also have a ticket to see the Australian Pink Floyd at the beginning of November. I think my relatively new husband sometimes wonders who he has married. My girls were brought up on 70's rock music so we will have a great evening.

Success! My husband eventually got his tickets, he is so excited (and in a very good mood) ! grin

Being particularly thick but who are the WE who are deleting posts and why??

Well my PMs to and from another gransnetter today have all been removed...so am going to stop using gransnet..I thought a PM was just that PRIVATE!!!

Gingster Fri 06-Mar-20 18:25:43

I had my post deleted and I hadn’t said anything nasty or disrespectful. Who IS deleting our posts?

Marydoll Fri 06-Mar-20 18:29:54

Farview, it doesn't mean GNHQ are reading your PMs.
If a user deletes PMs to a person, the replies linked to that PM are also deleted. It happened to me before, when a poster was tidying up and deleted PMs sent to me, my replies also disappeared. Any correspondence linked to the original PM seem to be deleted automatically.

I suspect the person you had been messaging, has decided to delete their messages to you or has actually left GN.

I hope this makes sense.

The We are GNHQ, (as is their prerogative) who have deleted any references to Mommawolf. It doesn't mean that anything nasty has been said.

lavenderzen Fri 06-Mar-20 20:34:13

I didn't know that about pm's. I have cleared my inbox a day or two ago but I am still here and I hope I haven't offended anyone.

Nannytopsy Fri 06-Mar-20 20:49:04

I am glad that GNHQ have stepped up about mommawolf.

lavenderzen Fri 06-Mar-20 21:07:58

Yes, me to, I couldn't believe what I was reading about mommawolf. It upset me all over again as it did others.

On social media in general of course not everyone is as they seem.

There are unfortunately those who for reasons best known to themselves will write a post which turns out to be a hoax .

Marydoll Fri 06-Mar-20 23:39:42

Yet again a lovely thread has been derailed. I think we should close the door on this and move on from all this speculation, hoax or not.

lavenderzen Fri 06-Mar-20 23:56:12

Marydoll the thread hasn't been "derailed" as you put it, someone made a comment further up and you answered it @18.44, it followed on from there. It's a bit much if people can't say something about it, it was a shock Marydoll to many of us.

Earlier in this thread GNHQ removed a number of posts and posted this message.

Hi all, Just a reminder that these threads are to provide support without judgement. We were very sorry to hear about the passing of one of our members and we would ask you to respect the family's wishes and not speculate on the details at what is a very difficult time.

I think that explains my post.

Marydoll Sat 07-Mar-20 00:08:53

The post I made was to explain about deleted posts and PMs,
I did not speculate about the actual situation.

JenniferEccles Sat 07-Mar-20 08:24:28

I also did not speculate about the specific case in question.

I tried to ensure I worded it generally when I said that hoaxes do unfortunately appear on all social media sites including Gransnet.

I had no intention of ‘spoiling’ anything!
