The trolls are trip trapping over the rickety bridge again, Pink. The sooner GR makes all boards members only the better. Gwynne

Just had a quick look what indeed is going on I thought success board does what it says on the tin sort of thing, why are people using it in a nasty way, are these people being nasty banned and they can't post on here? Robin of Loxley was spot on with what he said. It's getting every day something is going on, I wish GR would sort it out, even if they are looking at ways to, you would think they would let us know. catherine xx

That message has been forwarded to Abuse Manager, so let's see what happens.

The Success Board is just become like a school blackboard... It needs to be sorted before the CHILDREN take over. Rosi

It seems the success board is the only one that the GR, so called team, look at. Maybe we should all post on there & ask them to please remove the trolls before they remove good people like Robin, Marion & Meercat. Vivienne xx

Have sent my complaint to Abuse. Am tired of the rudeness of certain people towards long standing and respected members. This is not the place for personal insults - perhaps if we all contact abuse something may get done ? Elaine x.

Last night there was someone who posted on the Success board looking for a girl aged 12. I sent this person a PM suggesting that they removed it as it could be dangerous. Not saying that this person was grooming, but they could well be, there is no way of telling.

Still, it's dangerous to post a childs details on there.

I've not been contributing lately just so sick of all this c**p! Trouble makers stirring, good people defending and getting BANNED (BIG slaps to GR for the latter!) I'm sure if they made the success board members only some of this would stop - although sadly as in anything there are always some who will light the blue touch paper to the see the fireworks set off! I'm so tired of the bickering and I've only been here a few months. Dianna x ps Big waves to those decent folks who are currently off boards xx

I dont believe I have ever reported anyone to Abuse, and I am sure it makes not the slightest bit of difference. but this is getting ridiculous. The objectives of these vile trolls is hurtful and cruel.

I think the police would be very interested to see what goes on here, having worked with children who are groomed and abused, this site is a potential time bomb waiting to go off. children should not be allowed on here fullstop. catherine xx

I'm not at all in favour of encouraging the children by drawing attention to their childishness. (The latest one would clearly benefit from some English lessons as it is using words it doesn't understand.) Much better to contact abuse every time they come out to play. I gather that a similar facility is being considered to report school bullies.

Christina Report 23 Jul 2006 11:50

I wonder what it is going to take to make GR act - they take no notice of our complaints or pleas. Once again we have people (can't imagine who they might be, ha!) on the success board trying to provoke long-standing members into rash postings so that the real trolls can get them suspended. I only post occasionally but I do like to look at some of the hilarious threads posted by the witty and imaginative people on here. I know, mostly, who is good, bad or horrid - why don't GR?

it would help if when people delete their memberships there messages disappear too that would at least put a stop to people who are creating accounts to make one post then deleting themselves
