It is possible to send a positive report of a post to GNHQ

So EP are you saying it’s been suggested to you in the past that you are very single minded, very pedantic and sometimes
act like a dog with a bone
This is not meant to be a negative post about you but you do have a different way of thinking and different expectations to most of us and I don’t think it is as simple as a male/female divide
I m sure you are a kind person maybe a bit bored all on your own but highly intelligent
Why not talk a bit about your hobbies, your days events, are you going out yet ? do you have family nearby? Do you have friends to chat with or do you find it really hard to talk small talk. Are you really elderly or just think of yourself as elderly?
What career did you have ? Do you have a favourite film or tv programme
I m sure there is a very interesting character beneath these threads but you get stuck on a simple, unimportant, tiny piece of information

EP has actually spoken about his knowledge and interests.
He has already proved that he is ‘interesting’.
He’s tried to do something about making friends on here, but oh dear, he hasn’t done it in quite the right way.
As someone who has close family members and friends (and indeed possibly myself) who are on the spectrum I’m finding this thread really quite upsetting

That’s the very reason I was trying to lighten it a bit FC I don’t want EP giving up and be put on a back foot just because he has a different way of thinking and indeed writing
I haven’t seen anything about his likes or interests maybe that was in French or German I m not clever enough to speak another language I admire those that can
Anyway don’t give up EP ?

Surely, if one approves of a post (or a thread) one can always say 'Good post' or similar, in which ever language seems appropriate at the time.

Done it myself countless times!

Good post, kityylester!

I think receiving comments like "good post," "well said" or "I agree" was one of the things that made me feel part of the GN community when I first started posting. I always make a point of telling posters when I appreciate their contribution.
So thank you EP for giving some of us the opportunity to dig deep into our foreign language reserves and to play with foreign vocabulary.
I am not so interested in all the workings of GN and reporting posts, so I will pass on that one.

and I have read some others but not posted in them

Couldn’t we just have a ‘like’ button like everywhere else does ?I really couldn’t be bothered ‘reporting’ a good thread and I am sure the mods have better things to do than watch them and sift the likes from the dislikes.

We’ve talked about this so many times but I don’t favour a like button. Posters who did not get a like for their post would start feeling left out and there would be talk of cliques. . It is frankly not necessary!

I’m not sure posting a succession of links (The Nur zum Spaß thread) or the “spam” Portuguese thread really counts as “commenting or participating “ does it?

The question was:

EP, have you commented on / participated in any other threads than the ones started by yourself?

I answered the question and I included evidence to provide provenance for that answer.

I referred to eight threads, with direct links to seven of them.

Two of them has resulted in a matter arising.

A list of links to music videos in German is a participation in a thread that I did not start. Some people might have enjoyed those videos and they may have been new to them.

The title of the thread is "Nur zum Spass ... Only for fun".
So, five nice videos.

The Portuguese thread was fun, lots of posts on various topics. I participated.

So what is your assessment of my participation in the other six threads to which I referred please?

Three of the German videos were chosen specifically because of the inclusion of English subtitles.

Searching for the lyrics online and then getting translations into English to get a good idea of the meaning is interesting.

Here is a video of an English version of a German song. It is interesting that the English lyrics are different from the English lyrics usually heard in versions in English.

I don’t get this thread at all.
Just a note to EP-I did pm to ask if you were OK the other day but got no response.

The thread was just intended as general information so as to bring to more general attention a message from GNHQ that was on page 8 of a thread where many people might not notice it.

But people keep posting to it, so it has gone on.

It was just intended to draw attention to an additional facility of which some people had not been aware.

It was not intended to replace any other facilities.

It just seemed to be a simple, straightforward, sensible helpful announcement when I posted.

Yet a thread developed and we are now on page 4.

I don’t think you have to get it Molly

I'm only on page 1!

For me EP you are too niche. I hope others enjoy your posts.

Even I’m loosing my patience with you now EP!

There isn’t an ‘additional sodding feature’.

We always had the gumption to realise that one can use the Report Button to quickly communicate with whoever is on duty!

We already know that one can use it for a variety of useful reasons.

You do not need to tell us how to use the / our site, as Lisa, Maw and others have tried to tell you.

It is getting on people’s goat ?

So don't bloody read it!
Surely it's quite simple to scroll past?
