Hello from GNHQ

BlueBelle
It probably makes a boring job a little bit more interesting.

One of my pet hates is people who are not honest and come back with 'clandestine' names, the same posting style but try changing their 'background'.

I haven't noticed that but it wouldn't particularly bother me unless the person was being insulting or offensive and then they'd get reported again.

I've only ever reported one person, btw, so long ago I can't remember what it was about.

If someone has been banned, or left because of ill-feeling, they aren’t likely to come back and announce their old name, though. I don’t see that as dishonesty so much as discretion.

Thanks Lily
I think that we all know the score.
No jam today…
What I’d absolutely love ❤️ would be the voting facility that MN has for AIBU threads.
That would really get more footfall on here!
I see that MN has been refurbished; I was rather hoping that we could inherit the old MN site

LilyGransnet whilst were grateful for your assurances that out requests are being taken seriously and being passed on to decelopers but may take some time to implement, please can I draw your attention to a request that was made over a year ago and has still not seen fruition? Iam64 and several others, asked for a Feminism chat section, just like the one on Mumsnet. We were assured that it could be done but, a year later, and no sign of it. Please don't assume that just because the majority of us here are grey haired and retired, that we don't want to discuss feminist issues in a designated space. Can we have that space or not please?

The prompt action about the Holiday thread should reassure all of us that GNHQ is awake on Sunday mornings. Shame in one way. I really did want to know about Curlysue.

Well, one thing we do know about Curlysue is that she has a weird SIL that snoops on her phone and stalks her on social media, poor woman. I hope she closes her registration on GN down and re registers under a different name. Look out for a thread entitled "My SIL is a nosey control freak, what should I do?"

Chewbacca that’s interesting re the feminist sub-forum.
A few months back, a poster suggested a ‘Scam’ sub-forum, and it was up and running within a day.

Odd isn't it FannyCornforth? Iam64 and I campaigned several times for it and received assurances that it was doable but nothing happened. I can't see why it's such a big ask - there is a Feminism forum on MN that has 2 sub forums and they're well accessed and posted on. I know that a forum for black MNetters was asked for, and was set up within days, so why can't we have a Feminism space?

And as she was someone who requested the Feminism space, can we please have Iam's access sorted out?

Indeed Doodledog. Iam64 has been locked out for far too long, we need her back asap.

I agree.

We miss her sensible, balanced views.

Except that the OP was called Curlygirl, which was what made me query it in the first place. Just seemed a chance for somebody to be nasty, but it could’ve been real.

Hope so Mollygo I wouldn't like to think that anyone really does have someone like that in their family.

Who is this Iam64 of whom you speak doodle?

Will you be looking at Iam64s problem too, please Lily?

Who is this Iam64 of whom you speak doodle?

She's the one who's been doing the midnight dancing. It was on the news last night. I've phoned her solicitor and he's going to see if she can have internet access in her cell, but it will add to Iam's bill, so she wants to be sure she will be able to post on here before she signs for it.

I could have sworn I’ve read these same reply’s from HQ many times over the years ?

Meryl I am relatively new here, but I am already aware of the tradition

No, Meryl, I think you must be getting a little confused in your old age.
I'm sure that hasn't been happening.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned because I haven't read all of the thread........Why have we hardly got any competitions for us to enter? I am not interested in going onto MN to get involved in theirs. I used to love entering GN competitions and even won one........A lovely hamper!
Explanation please

DanniRae It’s all to do with companies’ advertising budgets, nothing to do with GN or even MN.
Everyone is skint these days, so no freebies / prizes

Oh shit!!! Not another memory fail??‍♀️
I’ll stick to knitting shreddies ?
