Sheila Only full members are allowed to post. These people obviously have more money than sense. I was out as well last night, but have seen things like this before so can imagine to some extent what went on. Margaret

Sorry just to clarify what I said last night and many times before. Only full members can add to threads but Anyone can read the boards, non members, ex. members, members and full members. I do not believe its is right to have anyone with an internet connection to read what people write on the boards but especially the General board. Other sites have forums and message boards that can only be viewed by members, so not allowing any Tom, Dick or Harry read people's business, because people forget that these boards are wide open they do put too much information on here. Just wanted to clarify what I said. Thank you Pat x

Just to let you all know, that I also read what went on last night. I was absolutley disgusted. I managed to copy and paste the last three pages. I have made a complaint to GR and hope as many of us that possible can, will do so also. I have always believed that, only fully paid up members should be able to view the boards. Until this is the case we should all be aware that anyone can read and make notes of what we say. Saying that, there is always going to be some SICKO who has money to burn and keep re-registering. Mind you, I bet the person who posted the terrible "Quiz" never put his or her hand in their pocket and made a donation to the Tsunami appeal. Jenny.

I wasnt here when last nights kerfuffle was going on (was on my way home from Manchester), but I've seen part of what was said. I'll be complaining too... not for myself you understand... sticks and stone and all that... but for the other people being picked on and slandered for no apparrent reason. Thanks for the support Mandy (and others)

This is disgusting! People crawling out of the woodwork to insult and defame old members should be booted off. It is time G: R: sat up and took note of what is going on. Only full members should be allowed to read the boards. Troublemakers that have been booted off should not be allowed back on. There are ways of keeping control through banking details. Lindy:-(

Reading other threads too, this really has gone too far. I have sent a strongly worded email to G.R. this evening.

Mandy, Adding my support as I cannot complain directly to GR having not witnessed the worst of it last night, but I had been following the 'Bite Yer Tongue' thread for most of the afternoon yesterday, and made an attempt to explain to those 'not in the know', why folks were getting so 'ticked off' by what was happening. As long as GR are notified of the 'offending' membership numbers, they will have the technology at their hands to trace them via their ISP - all PCs leave a 'fingerprint' (best way I can describe it) and that PC can be recognised time and time again no matter how many different names or email addys a person uses to join under.

Mandy i have E-mailed you I am not sure what went on after i left here yesterday i saw the 'bite your tongue' thread and could see the way things were going i didn't participate but if the good nature of sharing and fun on these boards is being threatened by a few small minded people with so little in their lives, that they get their kicks by causing trouble and upsetting people, then i can no longer keep quiet. I hae an idea of those responsible, and in future i will speak out Bev
