What happened

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

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

Probably someone complained again...

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

What's gone?

My thread!

Oh stuff 'em.

What have you been up to now, jings?

Which one of your threads jing?

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

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

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

Any emails J08?

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]

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.

And I am against the secrecy !!!

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

I think we must have someone who complains a lot!

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!

Kitty ,

Wonder who on earth it could be , Move

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

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.

Not me

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

Should have added "not me" .

you got there 1st Merlot !

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.
