I,ve just sent them off a stinging Email,They notiefied me I had Five Replies or contacts sent to me,When I tried to Access them, every one was,""Page Unavailable.I don,t know about the rest of you,but I have better things to do with my time than trying to access meaningless things from GR. Hal. It seems the "Thought Police" are in charge now.

no lou didn't see your thread it .it is what members have said about threads and comments being deleted when they weren't offensive.i feel if people don't like what they read then come off of the thread and on to another one.wasn't aimed at you babexxx(:

im not being rude or angry wen i say this but i presume that some of these comments r aimed at me because i admitted that i was gonna ask for a thread to b deleted because i found it offensive ??????

Nichola - when I emailed the abuse manager they got back to me very quickly to discuss it as well.

Lisa Report 7 Dec 2004 17:25

baz this doesn't look good for g.r.what is the point in paying membership and being on a topics page if you cannot give your view.xxx(:

not 100% sure, but i thought if g/r deleted any threads then they sent you an email either telling you or asking you to remove the thread, as i once got an email from g/r asking me to remove it and they also gave me reasons as well. :-)

It's a bit difficult isn't it? Do GR have a responsibility to the offended? We're all going to be offended by some things although I've only once made a complaint to the abuse manager. I generally think if we don't like a thread we can avoid it but then we can be offended by a posting in a thread - oh I dunno it's too hard for me to think about after a loooong hard day - will leave it to someone brighter:)

Lisa Report 7 Dec 2004 17:16

g.r i have commented to you about this and other things .can you please get back to me and tell me why this is happening after all we are paying members.

David, as I said elswhere it seems the minority decide whats fit for the majority.

Lisa

Lisa Report 7 Dec 2004 17:09

david too many are being deleted off for stupid reasons.so much for free speechxxxx(:

Unknown Report 7 Dec 2004 17:08

I thought GR only deleted threads or postings if someone complained about them unless it was blindingly obvious that it would be offensive to the majority - has this changed?

Gerry

Gerry Report 7 Dec 2004 17:05

Go for it. I have written to GR about the very same topic. Hope to get a reasoned reply. Hmmmmm, I wonder if I will be lucky? Gerry

this is getting ridiculous so much so that members are gettting fed up.one wrong word and your removed.haven't we got a view anymore.one of mine was removed last week.not a thread a view.it will get to the stage where members will leave and not return.you said offensive threads well my offensive are different to yours.come on g.r let us have our topics page back and give us a view.
