Ella46 Mon 24-Jun-13 21:03:17

I don't know, I just looked and it had gone!

merlotgran Mon 24-Jun-13 21:07:41

That's the last time I compost compose a carefully considered post. Gone and never called me mother sad

Ana Mon 24-Jun-13 21:10:42

Probably someone complained again...

mollie Mon 24-Jun-13 21:16:35

That's a pity ... The only time someone agreed with me and its gone! Did you gat an answer to your question J08?

annodomini Mon 24-Jun-13 21:21:13

j08 Mon 24-Jun-13 21:22:58

j08 Mon 24-Jun-13 21:25:15

soop Tue 25-Jun-13 12:57:38

What have you been up to now, jings? wink

kittylester Tue 25-Jun-13 12:59:57

Which one of your threads jing?

j08 Tue 25-Jun-13 13:12:04

I was perfectly innocently asking for advice. About giving advice. And getting good feedback. [shrug] hmm smile

(Should not have said "stuff 'em" about HQ! shock)

soop Tue 25-Jun-13 13:16:05

Ahhh! That could be where you went astray...grin

mollie Tue 25-Jun-13 14:05:46

Any emails J08?

j08 Tue 25-Jun-13 14:29:41

No email. But got this in my "threads I'm on" list:

When posters ask for advice.....
Thread deleted
This thread was pulled because we don't think disagreements in PMs should transgress into the forums. It doesn't resolve the situation, and in most instances, makes things a lot worse. If you have an issue with a PM/poster then please do report it to us.;

[completly innocent shrug]

janeainsworth Tue 25-Jun-13 15:17:01

Yes I am sorry the thread was pulled, because it obtained useful advice about giving advice and listening to people.
Like you merlot I object to my words being censored for no good reason. sad

Nonu Tue 25-Jun-13 15:22:28

And I am against the secrecy !!!

gracesmum Tue 25-Jun-13 17:15:53

Arguments can get circular, but I agreee that more was lost than gained by pulling the thread. sad

Movedalot Tue 25-Jun-13 17:18:05

I think we must have someone who complains a lot! sad

kittylester Tue 25-Jun-13 17:18:24

I said before, on the deleted thread, that I think there is too much pm-ing going on and a lot of the time I get completely lost about who said what to whom. It seems that most trouble is caused by pms rather than open disagreements. I thought this was a forum!

Nonu, I abhor the secrecy, it smacks of bullying and tittle tattling! sad

Nonu Tue 25-Jun-13 17:25:46

Kitty , wink

Wonder who on earth it could be , Move confused

perhaps if people fessed up , it would be better for all ?

Movedalot Tue 25-Jun-13 17:46:39

I wondered that too. So many of us have said we have never reported anything, or only reported sales posts. Probably going to get another lot of 'not mes' now.

merlotgran Tue 25-Jun-13 17:55:22

Not me grin

Nonu Tue 25-Jun-13 17:56:03

It just seems slightly unlikely that brand new posters are going to report things . Perhaps just me ,heyho. hmmmm

Nonu Tue 25-Jun-13 17:57:24

Should have added "not me" .

you got there 1st Merlot !

Gorki Tue 25-Jun-13 17:58:08

I don't like the pm system and would never use it to criticise anyone as I hate to be criticised myself. I have used it to "chat" with a few people I have common interests with that would not be interesting to others and I occasionally pm a poster we haven't heard from for a while just to check they are OK. I certainly wouldn't report anyone. I would rather leave if something really upset me. But that's just me.
