Hello from GNHQ

Don’t worry about it Charley
Apparently I’m ‘unkind’ (bleugh) and the spreader of ‘rumour and unsubstantiated gossip’ (which I learnt all about on threads referring to it on Mumsnet )

Gill a while back, we repeatedly asked the management to let us know what ‘the rules’ actually were, but we got nowhere

I haven't read the whole thread, so apologies if someone else has mentioned this.
I think it's time the front page was changed. We are not in lockdown now.
And an edit function would be nice.

I have just posted on the GB news one (fool that I am) and it didnt shift so I was about to come on here and say you were right fanny but now it's gone to the top and I am the last poster. What does it all mean

So have I Galaxy!
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.
I believe that it’s known as ‘being on the blink’

FannyCornforth I must stop being so rude and aggressive-the story of my life it would appear.

Being ‘rude and aggressive’ to someone who was quite obviously on the troll.
Perhaps if someone had got their act into gear and got shut sooner, it may never have happened at all…

FannyCornforth the problem was I did not think I was! I thought, on the whole, I was my usual pleasant self but he/she did try my patience.

I remember the poster and posts referred to which caused so much trouble.
There were indications of mental health issues early in the posts; whether these were genuine or not is not the point. The response to the posts by a few posters who considered them to be deliberately provocative was not kind and some deliberate baiting took place; fair warning was given but was ignored.

Ah, I see.
So they said that you were ‘rude and aggressive’.
It was their perception.
Good grief!

eezybee I remember the said poster and postings very well and if said poster had been dealt with properly none of the rest would have happened they goaded and goaded and was clever in their trolling
I asked a very innocuous question of her/him and was called ‘a wicked old witch’ but she/he didn’t even get a mention by Hq let alone anything more but my question was deleted ???

Anyway back to this looking forward to hearing how many of our requests will be ‘looked into’ for the umpteenth time
Do HQ realise it’s really quite insulting

Yes, that is why I am on my final warning.

Do HQ realise it’s really quite insulting?

Indeed.
As if us old bats will be happy that we've "got to know each other better" by giving answers to a question posed by someone who couldn't care less.

Could this be how it is in GNHQ just now?

Could this be how it is in GNHQ just now?

Or possibly, leaving no time to deal with requests.

I prefer it when they just leave us to it, instead of putting on this ridiculous pretence of
1. Caring about what we think
and
2. Considering doing anything different with the site

Not forgetting another poster cast out into the wilderness at the same time as Charleygirl whose contributions to GN have been paid fulsome tribute to recently on the occasion of her birthday.

And the crumpets lady

Hear hear!! MawBe

I seem to have missed these people being kicked out. for them.

A lifetime ban seems like overkill unless they've been completely vile.

And the crumpets lady

So far I haven't got know any grans better other than two contributors.
That wasn't thanks down interventions or help from GN in any shape or form, it was down to posters taking the initiative in a pm.

Sorry biscuit lady and fannyc I was quoting far north.
"getting to know each other better."

An app, edit button and like button please ?

Search facility that works
Edit button please

MawBe
And that posters goader comes back under a completely different user name ?

The list of those who have done this again and again, is very long - perhaps you are not aware ?!?
