Another missing poster

GrannyGravy13

merlotgran I tried that the other day.

I reported my post and asked for assistance for Urms my request was ignored…

I have also contacted HQ twice with a heartfelt plea and been ignored both times. Then when I reported a scammer I had a reply from Mumsnet HQ which has never happened before.

If this thread does disappear as did its predecessors, it will only be because someone has reported it and alerted HQ.

Should it be reported, perhaps said reporter would let us know of his/her intention in advance, ideally with reasoning and have the courage of their own conviction in doing so.

You are robbing us of many in our GN friendship groups.
Groups which mean a lot to many on here.

Poppyred

Tell GSM to come back under another name! There’s one on here who does that on a regular basis. 🤣

She would never do that. She is a woman of her word and chooses them carefully.

Once again, people reporting just draw attention to a post.

It is gnhq who decide on what course of action to take.

Is nobody taking this onbard at all? Gnhq have explianed it themselves.

I hope GSM comes back and under her own name why should she change it.? Goodness knows why it was deemed necessary to ban I guess the only person who did reported her as I certainly saw nothing.

I wonder if it’s new posters that are doing the reporting lately, there have been a lot of posts re family problems from posters whose names I don’t recognise at all I can’t imagine it’s posters who have been on here for years suddenly doing umpteen reports…. why ? if they ve managed to plough through the years without problems previously

I am another who doesn't understand the banning of some posters. GSM could be robust in her replies but she was never rude to another poster as far as I'm aware. I was very surprised that Callistemon was banned. She has a great sense of humour and again I haven't seen any reason for banning her.
I have never reported anyone and wonder who is pressing that report button.
Sending good wishes to all those missing. I hope you come back soon.
Gransnet isn't as good without you.

Mumsnet, though that and GN are the same, effectively?

GN has to answer to the advertisers, and other media presumably.

Plus, I came across that GN like other outlets are suing open AI I think it is called.

Perhaps they are having to be "more careful" in some ways?

I presume GN has had to go "woke" hence a sort of restriction on honest and open debate. I think GSM lives in my area and when I go into my local town I have been looking for a lady with German shepherds out shopping!! I'm pleased she is not leaving.

buffyfly. GSM lives in rural north norfolk, just a few miles from me. Do you live here too?

GSM and myself hold very similar views on many things, particularly illegal immigration. We are in favour of controlled immigration and not afraid to say so.

This is from Urmstongran all suggestions and any help is very welcome.

I think we should all report your post to HQ, GG13 giving our reasons why. Surely they will take notice?

Some points from the last posts.

Surprised that GNHQ do not tell people why they have been deleted. How can posters "improve their ways" if they do not know what they are supposed to have done?

I hope GN has not gone woke.

Surely people are not suspended or whatever, on the strength of one post that GNHQ do not like.

Does, "technical difficulties" really mean something else? Whatever that may be?

I do take on board though, that at the end of the day, this site is owned by GN.

Saves on fuel?

But cosy!

The Doghouse up to FIVE at one point.
Serous overcrowding! 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶

It's almost like Doghouse 2 with so many missing.

Hello to Calli

I do think MN and GN are treated differently imo.

Hi there Urms, Callistemon and GSM and any others who haven't posted for a while. You are missed.

I don't report posters, only scammers in the middle of the night.

Let’s not beat about the bush.
These posters/friends have had their accounts terminated for whatever heinous crime HQ saw fit to discern.
Clearly there had been some previous reporting (HQ does not moderate on spec) and deletions., which would have arisen from the reporting.
Hate crime, racism, misogyny , libel, slander they were not.
We are adults on an adult site (don’t take this the wrong way ) and I saw no reason in any of the instances for accounts to be suspended or permanently cancelled
The goalposts are altogether too mobile - one jokey post warrants suspension or worse, another political opinion robustly expressed sends someone to the Gulag. Hmm, does that sound familiar?
So, if GNHQ so chooses I would ask them to reply to justify their draconian actions and explain to the mystified rest of us why we are deprived of the company of stimulating and respected GN members.
Of course they may choose to delete my post as being somehow “in breach of guidelines” - but since when are guidelines the same as laws ?
If it comes to it, move over in the dog house - room for a little one? 🐶

Like BlueBelle I don’t recognise anyone by their style and wonder why.
I have been on GN for coming up 10 years and remember Greatnan and her ssd story .
There are others who have left who I don’t miss but I have never reported anyone, not yet anyway

I can't imagine she'd take her Shepherd's "shopping".
To the beach, yes
