GN have very kindly reinstated me , but I can’t let it go without giving everyone a huge thank you for your kind remarks and support - felt a tad overwhelmed tbh 😳. I would like to think that your support persuaded GN.

I would also like to extend a hand of friendship to those who felt my presence on GN is less than welcome. Of course we are always going to disagree, but to coin a phrase perhaps we can do so much more agreeably.

Well thank you all once again

Whitewave.

Posters can’t ban anyone that’s for the moderators of the site to decide Babs03
You do what suits you best and I and everyone else will do what suits them as regards reporting posts.

Good News. Welcome back WWM! flowers

Welcome back

Mamie Fri 10-Oct-25 17:19:23

It is good to see you back. So many years now!

Nandalot Fri 10-Oct-25 17:19:27

Welcome back.

Goodness. I’ve been on toddler duty for two days, so other than checking my ‘I’m Ons’ yesterday evening , I’m out of touch. I haven’t read enough yet to know what happened, but I’m glad you haven’t been banned Whitewavemark2, you would be sorely missed.

I have a low opinion of those who report without saying they have done so and why, I think it’s cowardly, and it’s far better to tell somebody they have transgressed the guidelines so that they can apologise if they have.

Charleygirl5 Fri 10-Oct-25 18:00:21

Welcome back, you were missed.

Casdon I couldn't agree more. I have reported many times, but it has been someone trying to sell Vagra or whatever.

I was suspended a few years ago, but it was with Kittylester Phoenix, Rosie's maw and at least one other.

Welcome back. I’ve been away for 3 days so have missed the ‘excitement’.

Delila Fri 10-Oct-25 18:52:21

I didn’t realise you’d gone, WWM, and cannot imagine why, but I’m very glad to hear you’re back. I always appreciate your posts.

Common sense prevails. I would also like GSM back, please

Me too can someone @gransnet please look at this?

Me too.

You will have to email Gransnet about it.If enough posters do that then it may happen, but doubt they will look on here.
I can’t as I don’t know anything about GSM.It will depend on why a poster was banned, I don’t even know the criteria for that.

Galaxy Fri 10-Oct-25 21:13:06

I had quite a few spectacular disagreements with GSM, I really really liked her. I will email.

Maremia Fri 10-Oct-25 21:21:25

And that's the spirit. Good luck.

Haven't been here for quite some time.but seem to recall we were usually on the same side wink. Welcome back.

Super news.

StripeyGran Sat 11-Oct-25 14:16:03

Seriously, how can anybody be bothered with this reporting and banning stuff?

Only the moderators can delete posts and ban posters. They don’t check threads, or rarely I should think, but rely on GN members to report anything such as racism and antisemitism plus any personal attacks , rather than indulge in back and forth spats that spoil a thread.So it does have a place.

Welcome back WWM2.
