"and now the thread does not exist"
- it was a sticky by genes reunited, about the site being closed for a short time :)

Since the release is complete we decided just to remove it. But we learnt a little lesson. :-)

This concerned research in the eighteenth century and was not worthy of a review :-S :-(

It was Syl....asking for help back to the 1700s

What worries me is the fact that it will put people off from posting and the boards have been quiet enough recently

Oh dear Ginny

Your thread has just been requested for review again within the last 5-10mins

Some one is playing silly b's

Researching:
PLEASE DO NOT: send me information concerning your thread on the board as it should be posted on your request where all members can see it. PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result. PLEASE DO NOT: open your tree just because I have posted information on your thread as I will not be related. THANK YOU. Researching Carter, Cass and Walker in England.

This is so frustrating... I wonder if there is some way we can make a formal complaint to GR, I can't think of any grounds why Ginny's thread has dissapeared.

This person/people reporting willy nilly is making a mockery of the site. They hide behind anonymity and nothing seems to be happening.

Did Ginny receive a reason why the thread has been reported probably not. Did the person reporting it have the courtesy of explaining to Ginny why they felt her thread should be removed, probably not.

Apologies if no one else agrees with my vent, I just find this malicious reporting pretty annoying!!!!!!!!!!

:-P :-P

You vent away... I <3 a good vent!!

Thanks Persie, lol no I really feel I am having a grumpy day today! You know when it feels like everything annoys you!

Must just need a glass of red so I can skulk in the corner and mutter to myself!

If someone complains about a thread repeatedly do they have to give a different reason each time they complain....

I have never complained about a thread. I just move on.

If you click as to report you get a choice of

hateful/abusive

Data protection
Other

So what reason anyone could give for Ginnys thread I dont know??

Jax,

The title on the thread has changed and is not applicable to ancestry.... could this be the reason?

I have put this as my thoughts that this could be the reason on the big thread and elsewhere..

Grace....no I havent had any notice about why the thread has been reported yet again, either from GR or the nasty little person that reported it

Ive sent Phil a message so hopefully he will be onto the case, he must be getting quite bleeped off with it all

So, if the person who is reporting all these none offensive threads would like to send me a PM explaining, I would be happy to reply ;-)
