This sounds like my life.

Never in the loop.

Never know whats going on with the gossip.
Remark (or post in this case) is irrelevant because someone has said it previously and I was not paying attention.
Who, what, why, where?

(oh, I did notice one incident recently, but has someone come back under another name? I would probably never notice. Some posts are too cryptic for me to fathom.)

Must pay attention. (like being back at school)

hug didn't work either, jings, it just said 'looking up hug'

Eh? What's the point in 'avoiding' GN? Just don't engage with the difficult member.

Goodness me, it seems as though members are already taking Julie at her word and reporting any slight doubt or worry about anyone new (or possibly old, for all I know) to GNHQ 'just in case'.

I thought this site was supposed to be mainly self-monitoring...

The protocol is to report anything you're worried about. We don't ban people lightly, but people do sometimes take it upon themselves to return. This isn't a gransnet only problem, it happens on all of the other sites too. We do our best from here, but it helps if you all report anything which you're worried about.

julie please answer the question.
We are aware of one troublemaking difficult member who has done this several times.
Many of us are avoiding GN for this reason.

I am perhaps naive but apart from when a poster has made it apparent that they have changed "names" for a reason I have never realized that something not quite on course has happened. Am I alone in this? Certainly recent posts on some subjects have been unpleasant and unkind.

{sobs} Thank you flowers

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 13-Sept-14 20:47:09

Oh! That wasn't supposed to come out as a link! Should have been like this [[ hug ]]

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 13-Sept-14 20:46:27

We love having you around Julie. You're never alone while you have Gransnet. smile

(I see it's Julie been landed with the weekend work again hmm)

I like weekends. TV isn't great and I love spending time with you all.

Anyway, we're always happy to hear from you all, so please do report anything that you're worried about and we'll take a look.

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 13-Sept-14 20:33:43

I worry.

A very good question, phoenix.

JulieGransnet (GNHQ) Sat 13-Sept-14 20:10:48

Hi Phoenix.

Yup, got you. We love it if you report anything which raises an eyebrow to us, even if it's a poster that you're worried about. We'll happily take a look into things keeps us away from the cake

For members who join, turn out to be either abusive or behave in some other form that is unacceptable, but then re-join under another name, sometimes repeatedly under name after name?

This is generally such a good "place" and I feel very miffed that some people abuse the good nature of members by taking the piss presenting themselves as something that they are not.

PS This didn't quite come out the way I meant, but hopefully you will know what I mean.
