Deleted PMs - This is important

Jalima

I tried to post my message and it says the same!

I don't get it!

Jalima

I received your message and returned pm.

I will try again to send one from me to you.

I just sent one to you - just to test the system. Will it get through?

Jalima

When I press send it displays:-

' Sorry. We can' t deliver your pm as this user,: Jalima is currently unable to receive your PM's '

But RachelleGransNet your comment is totally incorrect
‘no one is deleting anyones Pms except the sender or receiver’
How then do account for Pm s being deleted when neither person has requested it
Please come back and explain this It’s very important

POGS Thanks for that - what is going on? I am happy to receive messages!

Rachella ??

I think Melanieeastanglia must have deleted all her messages, because I have one from her that is deleted in my inbox.

Jalima

I just tried to pm you and I was sorry to see you ' cannot receive messages'.

I hope you have a rethink.

But it still doesn't explain why it should be deleted in someone's inbox.

I deleted all older messages GG to tidy up my inbox, resulting on you getting the deleted by user message, that’s all it is.
When you delete old messages, you don’t get that message yourself, but the person you sent it to does.

I've never requested any deletions.

Just looked at my PMs and 3 in Dec to Melanieeastanglia , 2 on different dates in Nov to someone else and 1 to lemongrove all deleted at users request.
Odd, that there are some messages untouched between those deleted ones.

If it is a system procedure, not a conscious act by a moderator, the messages will still be private, in the sense that they have not been read by anyone other than sender and receiver.

I’ve only just discovered this thread and have taken a look at my inbox and sent messages. I see that several messages to and from one of the posters mentioned by Chewbacca on the first page have been “removed at user request”. There were two exchanges, in November and way back in March. These would certainly would not have been contentious.
I will PM the user now and see what happens. So does PM actually stand for “private message”? Something of a misnomer I feel.

The thread was already very long when I came across it so I have only read the first couple of pages.

I await HQ’s comments with interest.

I somewhat naively thought that PM meant Private Message. Clearly they are not.
Just about sums it up Synonymous!

How very interesting this all is!

I had all of my messages deleted from my inbox ages ago supposedly at the request of the senders. I was very hurt and felt I had been made invisible and of no account, affecting me quite badly for a while. If it is an official way of making space on the system it is a horrible way to do it.

it's all very odd.

Oh thanks yes I know now

I still have no understanding howit happened to me in the middle of a conversation with neither of us doing anything

It's the new General Data Protection Regulation Bluebelle

eugdpr.org/

Sorry what’s GDPR ?

Rachel

I literally have just ' binned' 2 pm's and there was no term displayed saying :-

' This message has been removed at user request'

THE USUAL happened and the 2 pm's simple vanished from my list!

Sorry but nothing is stacking up and I cannot agree with GNHQ tec department.

It is noticeable to me certain gn users are showing :-

' This message has been removed at user request'

Rachell

Thank you for your honesty.

Off to test it now.

From Elegran:
"Fennel Are you sure that Jalima's messages of 5th and 6th Nov were deleted then, ? Maybe they were sent then and deleted yesterday when she was clearing things?"
No I'm not sure Elegran - I only looked this morning, I don't use pms much.
