I agree Woody,the name changes are a huge problem,it should be stopped! I know most do it for fun,but a small minority do it for other reasons,which is not acceptable.

Lets hope they listern to the paying customers i say, Lilxx

Of course there should be moderators and several of them. I agree about the 8 week suspension - in most cases a week would do just fine. Longer than that and you have the 'martyr' effect. Board names - yes, I know most of the changes are in good faith/fun but it's the only forum I use that has this immediate ability. I think we should have one name only and alteration should be sanctioned by admin.

I agree with you Ron, GR need to get moderators on here, zap the nasty stuff before it hits the boards. x

Guess i'll be off then but will say this site is nothing without it's members Byeeee

I very rarely post here. all of this bullying/backbiting etc.. could easily be solved.... MODERATORS!!!!!!!! why oh why isnt there any?? With GR being So BIG, alot of the trouble could be nipped in the bud! sadly I can see if this carries on, that the whole of the 'boards' will be Locked Like Last september again. SAD! Julie I seconed that Come GR give some MODARATORS on the boards. If this site keeps going the way it is you won't have a site left soon. ... or is that what you want. Think GR might pull this thread soon. lol

Added by Sheila in West Wiltshire on 17/05/2007 11:04:41 Sadly, Ron, I don't think there is much to say that hasn't been said. Whether GR take note or not I don't know, I have never contacted them about anything on here. I think the most likely scenario is that GR will get fed up with it and shut this board down. Hi Sheila If more people took the trouble to contact GR and have a say then maybe the boards would get better.

Added by Guinevere on 17/05/2007 11:04:19 I've said it all before, Ron. 1) log credit card numbers and IP addresses to stop fake IDs. 2) have a moderator on call 24/7 to delete the rubbish before it has chance to get started. 3) suspend people who can't control their tempers for a week - an 8 week ban is too harsh for some 'offences'. 4) If the same people keep losing the plot and continue posting the same abuse then ban them for life - a check on credit card numbers and IP addys could make this happen Gwynne Hi i have said this before and i have said it to GR a couple of times. If they had to put the membership up by 50p per member to help pay for it, the members would not mind if it ment they could come on here and chat nicely to others with no fear of a bully turning nasty

Hi Can you tell me, Why is it so many people on here think it's ok to pick on others. After reading some of the threads on here i think that after the years i have been on here, it's time to pack it in as the site has got so bad. I see people pick on others and think what the hell are they doing to this site. This site is for people to do a family tree and to chat to others, Not to be like a school bully. Think it's time to either say something to GR or leave the site. ............ What would you say to GR if you thought they would listen to you?
