Private messages -are they?

I am extremely concerned that Private Messages I have sent to some members have been removed ostensibly “at user’s request”.
This is SIMPLY NOT TRUE.
I understood PMs were precisely that, ie “private” so nobody has the right to read, let alone delete them although I realise they do disappear if a member leaves GN.
I wonder if GNHQ would care to comment?

Good point, well presented, as my late boss used to say, BlueBelle

Ha ha ha! Apply as seen fit.

Well a lot of different people must be deregistering! I have looked in my PM box and all but a very recent message was gone! I am not a very frequent poster and have only recently returned to GN after a long gap.. same name though..not a new incarnation! As i cannot recall who i have ever sent a PM too it would be tricky to ask for on or two to be deleted it would have to be the lot!

Five PMs 'removed at the user's request', all from Maw2B. I didn't request their removal and I would bet that she didn't either.

Some pms were deleted before I read them!

Callistemon Mon 19-Oct-20 19:02:02

Though, I wonder if there is a job going as 'Monitor of Messages'?^
We could be the Prefects, kittylester and interject when necessary.

interject - are you impressed by my vocabulary?

phoenix Mon 19-Oct-20 19:32:14

QED!

phoenix Mon 19-Oct-20 19:34:31

Well, as I always say, "Semper nen facebes, sole profundum variat".

Marydoll Mon 19-Oct-20 19:35:29

Did I? I know nothing, about anything!!! ?

I did have a clear out of my Inbox. I could have.
Old habits die hard, a throwback from my ICT co-ordinator days, as our server was always running out of space!
I know I cleared hunners of Miss MaryDoll's Maths Class PMS. I had pages and pages of them!

I do love a good conspiracy theory! wink

Marydoll Mon 19-Oct-20 19:38:31

Phoenix, Je ne suis pas surpris. La vie est pleine de merde en ce moment!

BlueBelle Mon 19-Oct-20 19:47:32

These were the last few you sent me marydoll
I do have a theory but it’s not totally working

Marydoll Mon 19-Oct-20 19:50:36

I did clear out a number the other day, Bluebelle, so that is very possible. I do it on a very regular basis.

phoenix Mon 19-Oct-20 20:18:44

Marydoll, je suis d'accord!

kittylester Mon 19-Oct-20 20:25:31

This is not the foreign words thread!!

phoenix Mon 19-Oct-20 20:26:41

Sorry kittylester blush

Marydoll Mon 19-Oct-20 20:29:36

Sorry, we were trying to be a clique! blush

I was saying that basically life is sh** at the moment.

phoenix Mon 19-Oct-20 20:59:01
