Troll hunting and thread deletions

Hello
We wanted to clear a few things up:
1) We don't allow troll hunting on the forums. If you are worried someone may not be genuine, please email us directly or report any concerning posts to us. We will deal with it. Making accusations on the forums is not helpful and could, if incorrect, lead to possibly vulnerable people feeling victimised. We will have to delete threads that accuse other users of being trolls.
2) PMs. We take a very dim view of this being abused. If you receive an unwanted or unkind PM please report it to us. We can take a look and deal with it. You are also able to block other users so that they are no longer able to PM you. Please use this. And apologies in advance if this does happen to you. It's not nice and not what Gransnet is about at all.
3) Despite what it feels like tonight hmm we do not enjoy deleting threads. We have a handful of guidelines, all there with the purpose of making the threads better, and more welcoming for users. We are doing our best and rely on you to report things to us that seem concerning, so thank you for caring so much about the site and reporting anything that looks suspicious.

Thank you
GNHQ

I understand that the bar in question is rather nice and has had a half million quid refurbishment.

I need a bit of refurbishment myself.

Um you re obviously not following the pattern ?
1. -first Dash then word (no space)
2 -first- Then go to front of word and do a dash that end (no space)
then right back to the very beginning BEFORE the first dash
3 --first- So far ok?
4 then right to the end for the second dash after
first

So you’ve got four movements before word, after word before dash, after dash ( no spaces)

bluebelle it’s dashed awkward to explain isn’t it? ?

Lucca Fri 21-Aug-20 22:15:04

Is the Argy Barry a gay bar too?

BlueBelle Fri 21-Aug-20 22:17:28

doodle yes

Callistemon Fri 21-Aug-20 22:17:52

I don't think so, Lucca, although I'm not sure.

I think all are welcome.

Doodle Fri 21-Aug-20 22:18:25

You’re skating on thin ice Lucca ?. Pretty much everything goes in the Argy. We’ve currently got a sex mad llama doing the rounds ?

fevertree Fri 21-Aug-20 22:18:47

No need for all the back and forth, type two dashes, then the word, then two dashes again. No spaces between dashes and word that needs to be crossed out. It's easy!

word

All are most certainly welcome in the Argy....but perhaps not if you are of a delicate nature. We’re having a wonderful Hawaiian night tonight. Naked wrestling, karaoke, plenty to drink and a sex mad llama....what more could you ask for ?

Callistemon Fri 21-Aug-20 22:23:42

what more could you ask for ?

The Admiral.
A man in uniform makes me go weak at the knees.
Although that could be the gin.

Doodle Fri 21-Aug-20 22:23:53

fevertree the reason for all the back and forth manoeuvres is that the method you’ve described doesn’t work on many iPads and you have to use the method bluebelle said to get strike through.

Doodle Fri 21-Aug-20 22:25:59

callistemon tonight is your lucky night, the Admiral is one of the naked wrestlers. I’ll put a gin on the bar for you ?

fevertree Fri 21-Aug-20 22:39:58

Doodle and others, thanks, oops, sorry, as you were.

who knew iPads were so fiddly

Luckylegs Fri 21-Aug-20 22:45:13

You’re right, Marydoll I’m not a legend in my own lifetime. I didn’t have a thread removed, just a post.

Doodle Fri 21-Aug-20 22:50:56

fevertree yes really fiddly. Why it won’t work I don’t know.
Ah luckylegs we could start a club. As long as it’s a club and not .........nope not going there. ?

Chewbacca Fri 21-Aug-20 22:56:16

It looks like membership to this club is going to be heavily subscribed Doodle & Luckylegs. Apparently I've got a membership card too.

Doodle Fri 21-Aug-20 23:01:38

chewy new members seem to be added all the time ?

phoenix Fri 21-Aug-20 23:38:16

Goodnight Ladies.

Marydoll Fri 21-Aug-20 23:47:02

Night all.?

Thank you all for brightening my day ( apart from the deletions ☹️)

Sleep well ? ?

Until now I have never had a deletion in my life but there is always a 1st, 2nd or 3rd time. I have lost count.

The sun is shining here.

I think I've had 3 threads deleted. Is this a record? I was getting a bit paranoid about it wondering if people were sabotaging my threads deliberately, but what really narks me is not seeing the posts that cause it.
It's sunny here as well and the wind has gone. I will have to go out and check the tiles on the roof (The tiles are on the roof I'll be checking from the ground).

Callistemon Sat 22-Aug-20 10:24:31

The naughty step has become a whole staircase.

Three threads - is that a record trisher?
Here's a gold medal for you ?

Callistemon Sat 22-Aug-20 10:25:31

The parcel from Vans arrived this morning.
Am I allowed to say that?
