Do threads sometimes disappear from the Forum?

Great ideas, crimson and nanadog.

Except that the BBG were not word-we-cannot-post, they were innocently trying to cross the bridge to get to the good pasture on the other side. So Big Bold Green Shrek it will have to be.

Rather than Shreks and Billy Goats wouldn't it just be simpler to report a post as a suspected troll and let GNHQ make the judgement? Remember, you don't even have to tell anyone, apart from GNHQ, that you are reporting. This all seems quite a storm in a teacup.

A while ago I reported an 'unmentionable' to HQ as I was worried he/she was targeting a new member.I was told that they were 'watching' him/her and to pm the newbie myself with a warning.I did this.The newbie vanished and the hunter of ancient things continued to post

The "watching" at the top has taken on a whole new meaning! [sh-sh-shiver)

I've reported a few!

Dear absent

thank you for your informative and interesting post. I would never have thought of that myself. I do so love it that we have older and wiser GNetters who can educate us and keep us on the straight and narrow. I think we were in danger of being flippant and lighthearted silly girls.

Yours gratefully Nanadog.

Nanadog What are you talking about? I think you are older than I am, although not necessarily wiser, but how can we know? Perhaps neither of us is very wise. I don't think I have ever addressed Gransnet members as girls, but if I have, I am profoundly sorry. Surely all this ridiculous brouhaha has gone on because Gransnetters didn't report a possible troll and then went into discussing the possible troll by name on a public forum. So what did I do that was so wrong that I deserved the sharp side of your tongue?

Not for the first time.

Silly me.

Indeed yes.

Yes Miss

Some Gransnetters did report a possible troll. Don't assume that because they did not tell you about it, they did not do it. Like a lot of things, come to think of it. Still waters run deep.

Don't be 'orrible to Kat.

Or else......... ! [grr]

Alright!!! I got it wrong. She was talking to absent.

You mean I am allowed to be 'orrible to absent then Jings ? I shall have to work on that .... what can I say......?

Don't let me stop you.

I mean, it's entirely between you and absent.

Fight yer own battles.

Of course you can be horrible – or lovely – to absent, whoever you are. But why would you – either way?

You are allowed some expectations absent. (((hug)))

Having Jing's permission to do something does not mean that it is obligatory.

Unless it an invitation to and

Two threads are missing on the religion and spirituality section. One on Roman Catholicism and one called Finding a way Forward.

MiceElf, if you look in the main Forum section you can find threads that havve slipped off the current list. I saw The Way Forward - don't know about the other one, but it's probably there.

"Having Jing's permission to do something does not mean that it is obligatory."

What's that about?!
