Where's CariadAgain? 🤔

Yes it is sad when a familiar name suddenly disappears without saying goodbye.
Even if you scroll past their postss, which I did with Cariadagain and Biglouis and I expect they scrolled past mine, I dont want to think of them ill.
Good idea if you know you are taking a break or leaving, to say so. If you are able to.

I do remember the furore a few years ago when four members were banned; it was acknowledged and there were some grounds for it. There was a campaign and as far as I am aware those who wished to return were eventually allowed back.
It is still sad when people vanish without apparent reason.

As far as I remember, there were no real grounds because the person who managed to get them banned turned out to be a rather convincing troll who fooled many posters.

You’re right there Allira 🐶🐶🐶🐶

I do miss biglouis. She was a voice for her generation.

It makes you think of kids being put into detention this banning thing. I hope Cariad is ok,too.

It used to be known as the Norty Corner.

Some posters do return under different names; however, their style is usually unmistakable.

Perhaps CariadAgain will do the same and I imagine we'd soon realise 😀

That is a good idea petra.

If GN were to announce that a member had been banned can you imagine the furore.
The thread/threads would be shut down immediately.
I know im repeating myself again but it’s worth repeating.
If you are online friends with another member exchange email addresses

An rather outspoken poster who had returned under a different name left Gransnet again recently, announcing she was doing what used to be known as 'flouncing off.'
It is disconcerting when prolific posters disappear without any apparent reason, and I do think GN should announce if someone is banned. Stops speculation.
If a poster dies there is no way of finding out unless family or friends send notification. Sad.

I won't report anyone. I think it's cowardly. It's a shame if Cariad has been banned. She was never offensive on any of her posts that I've seen.

I would never report anyone, I believe in fighting my own battles but I wasn’t a fan of Carriad so I hadn’t actually noticed she wasn’t on. If she has been banned she will have plenty to say when she’s back
( I do report the advertising trolls as I m often up in the night when they are at their worst )

I think I would have thought about moving if she was my neighbour.

I sometimes found Cariad’s self-importance and conspiracy theories a bit ridiculous but never offensive. I hope she’s able to return, if & when she wants.

Yes, I liked reading Cariad's posts. They were very individual and sometimes quirky and expressive.

It really is a shame if she has been banned. I thought a post would have to be highly offensive for that to happen, not just having a different opinion to others.

I hope she can see that she's missed, maybe you can read posts without being a member, I don't know.

I was insulted a few times on Mumsnet, called smug for having a happy family life and a martyr for having health problems (they called me disabled) and not claiming PIP.

I never reported anyone, I didn't feel the need, I simply left Mumsnet for Gransnet and it's a much friendlier place, even if we don't agree, it's nice to get other people's points of view, but not to get nasty about it.

Hope to see you soon, CariadAgain 🙂.

Maybe not banned, just temporarily suspended as can happen.

I'm sometimes puzzled by what is and what isn't banned because it doesn't seem quite consistent. I can only assume some decisions are taken because of comments being reported by numbers of people - but don't know if that is the case.

Unless a poster is breaking the law, I'm sort of in the camp that would rather the posts remain, even those that might ruffle my delicate feathers .

So if there's no way of contacting CariadAgain - there's no way of knowing if she's OK, which is a shame.

It makes you think of kids being put into detention this banning thing. I hope Cariad is ok,too.

I, too have noticed her absence. I hope she is okay 💞

From the tone of the last thread I remember her contributing to, I think she may have been suspended or banned.

CariadAgain originally came from my current part of the world. She messaged me a few questions about the area as it is now, and we swapped pms.
I hope she is OK, and is able to return to GN soon.

It is possible that Carriad has chosen to block all private messages. You do this by ticking the relevant box in your private messages settings.

But, coupled with the fact that she is not posting, that doesn't seem likely.

Oh yes of course, I have blocked some charming gentlemen who have messaged me occasionally.
