Deleted PMs - This is important

GN need to respond to this.

The other thing is what I said at the top of the page, that HQ just remove old pms to save computer memory space.
I expect someone from GNHQ will be along shortly.

I may have been a bit hasty saying the following:-

' I know today 2 old pm's that had 'This message has been removed at users request.' ' against them have disappeared completely as though to leave no trace of this happening.'

It could be because only 20 pm's are displayed and having 3 more today perhaps they ' dropped off'.

Does anybody know if you can access All pm's not just the last 20 shown?

I am convinced it is only certain GN users this is happening to.

Several messages sent and received by and to one person in December have been deleted. I may be playing with fire here but I plan to PM the person involved and ask her if she requested the deletion. Can’t imagine why she would, it was a calm and friendly exchange of messages

I wonder if this is anything to do with the security issue on mumsnet?
Apparently users there found that some of them could access others' accounts.

I don’t think it’s anything sinister folks.
I think it may well be, that when you clear old messages from your inbox, recipients get the message ‘deleted at users request’ or similar.All they are doing is clearing away old messages, and not snubbing a poster.

Found four messages I sent on 4th January have been removed at my request.

I certainly DID NOT ask for their removal!!!

Mine were from somebody not on anyone else's list, and about my recent 'incident'.
I thought it strange that she had contacted gransnet and asked for (what I thought were) duplicate messages to be deleted.

Meant to be INOCCUOUS

Found another four from a different poster removed at beginning of January, totally unoccupied chat.??
What is going on?

The pms weren't anything subversive or contentious but, judging by the dates, they seem to have been wishing those people a merry Christmas or happy New Year and one was about a car; hardly breaking any rules!

I have checked my list of pm's and there are certain posters pm's who have a message saying :-

' This message has been removed at users request.'

I am very annoyed as I know one pm was merely wishing me a Happy Xmas.

It is certain this applies to GN Users not a time line that have been subject to deletion.

I send or receive very few Pm's but I am interested to know if any of mine are known to have been removed presumably by GNHQ.

I know today 2 old pm's that had 'This message has been removed at users request.' ' against them have disappeared completely as though to leave no trace of this happening.

Those pm' s could have held information I wished to keep but they have disappeared and I find this beyond alarming.

The plot thickens..

I have had one deleted in January from one of the posters mentioned above.
I thought at the time, the poster regretted messaging me. Very sinister indeed.

Sent messages also deleted. Same people involved too.

Mine were all on 29/11/18 by oldbatty.

4 of my pm messages have been deleted, all saying " this message has been removed at user request".

1 message on 31.12 18 from Jalima
1 message on 30.12 18 from lemongrove
4 messages on 26.12.18 from lemongrove
2 messages on 20.12.18 from MawBroon
1 message on 09.12.2018 from MawBroon

I've never contacted GNHQ to ask for any messages to be deleted. Why would I? What's going on GNHQ?

Some of my messages have been deleted too - all from the same poster. Apparently they were removed at the users request

I had some (all from the same person) which I assumed were one and the same message, because when I replied, the message duplicated 3 times.
I thought the deleted ones were perhaps unwanted duplicates.
This was just about 3 days ago.

That is sinister Maw! Big brother indeed. However, it was copied to quite a few of us. Could one of the others have asked for its removal?

How odd! Three of mine - Inbox and Sent - have also been deleted at the other GN's request. (11th January 2019) I haven't gone through all my pms, which go way back!

I’ve had a message deleted too, sent last August.
Not from Maw though, from another poster who come to think of it, I haven’t ‘seen’ for a while.

I'll check mine too.....

Quite! Off to check pms now.

No Jane10 I didn’t and I am seriously unhappy at what I see as a breach of privacy
