totally agree with you Ann. You should not be allowed to even come on here unless you join, if your unsure if you want to join then have a 14day trial like other sites, then if you don't join in that time frame, your off. catherine xx

Well, whatever floats their boat Elaine... I do agree that everyone should be made to JOIN and PAY for the priveledge of adding any message to any of the boards.... GENES TEAM and TV company need to redress this. Anne :)))

I did read the messages on the success board but to me only success they have had is to rile up members instead of the members ignoring there behaviour

I believe that they have deleted themselves, or possibly it is the same person using different pseudonyms. Only the troublemakers' threads give the error message when clicked on, so I presume that they have done so.

Honey Rum, The children make visitors accounts, post on success, then delete the accounts themselves, so they can't be traced. ... Surely this prooves that GR staff are NOT monatoring the boards over the weekends ... or the posts would have disappeared well before now. EVERYONE should PAY to use this site. There should be no FREE postings of any sort. I never look at success board. I always go straight to my PM's and then to General .... so the children's efforts are wasted on me !! ..... unless I'm TOLD about a post, I don't know about it ! Elaine ;-)

Has anyone noticed that no-one can send a pm to this Cats person or the troll called Dangley Bottom... maybe they got stomped, or are they gonna change to another name? Anne :))

The Success board is the only board that none paying members can add to, they can read all threads on the site though and can send personal messages to full paying members... my oppinion is that they should pay full membership for the site and for the priveledge of doing this. Anne :)))

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

We need to have our membership numbers beside our names...

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?

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.

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 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'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

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

Paul Report 23 Jul 2006 11:29

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.

Elaine Report 23 Jul 2006 11:27

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.
