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

Pollyperkins It may be because you put the question mark right up against you last dash. That would have spoiled it on my PC, and possibly does on other devices. Try it with a space between them.

polly do a small dash write the word (no space) then do the dash at the end now go back to the start of the word and do another dash Before the other dash then go to the end of the word and do your second dash so then it should work

Im on an iphone, perhaps thats why.

pollyperkins Fri 21-Aug-20 06:59:58

Nope!!

pollyperkins Fri 21-Aug-20 06:59:45

Im trying this —is this right—?

BlueBelle Fri 21-Aug-20 06:36:12

You do one dash write the word with a dash at the end then go back to do the second dash if I remember rightly
If you are on an iPad Lisagran

It does work with iPads type the dashes with a space in between and then go back and delete the spaces....

Message deleted by Gransnet as it repeated a post which has since been deleted. Here's a link to our Talk Guidelines.

Wow, went out for the day and missed all the excitement naughtiness.

Only posting to test the strike out really, didn't know how to do that.

Hope nobody was hurt in the making of that thread.

Thanks Lisagran

I'm not that posh, I don't have an iPad

Hugs, hon

Interesting that some share my thoughts 're the possible relationship between 2 posters.

One certainly reacted strongly to the flounce of the other, and blamed me and some others for it.

Lisagran 're your post of 22.09, not sure about that, maybe others may be able to confirm or deny, iykwim.

Callistemon Thu 20-Aug-20 22:22:25

Chewy.....the perils of living near the nearly famous, eh?

We know all about that round here too.
But it's not Archie Andrews,

Lucca Thu 20-Aug-20 22:21:35

I tried that Callistemon but it refused to cooperate. Maybe I should try an algorithm on it.

Callistemon Thu 20-Aug-20 22:20:23

Oh, nothing
grin

Callistemon Thu 20-Aug-20 22:19:59

Two of these -- before a word Lucca and two -- after.

No spaces though
Like this wink

What happens if I do this?

Grandmafrench Thu 20-Aug-20 22:19:50

Oh dear, you say that with real feeling, Chewy.....the perils of living near the nearly famous, eh?

Lisagran Thu 20-Aug-20 22:19:38

Indeed Chewbacca

Lucca Thu 20-Aug-20 22:17:34

I can’t do that strike through thing?
