Slapping a D notice on a thread.

First and foremost. I lve this GC site. I like to think of myself as being an easy going chap, but also a knowleable one.

Suddenly to read a message from FC. Making statements that we have all heard etc recents ups and downs. Sorry my friend. Unless I receive different post from other members. Yes, I was saddended to learn that one or two had had their feathers ruffled. I see that these few are still posting and joining in.

I am afraid to say. FC. You and other staff have somewhat jumped the gun. You have given no insight to what the supposed problems are or might be. In fact. IMO you really have jumped the gun. Without disclosing names etc. I wonder just what percentage of membership complained or in fact may have been worried/concerned about Smith v Brown having a bit of a tiff.

Truly. I had abeel-full of insults, problems on another website. I really thought I was on a good site here. Sorry FC & Co. IMHO you have made a spit in the ocean, a flood. So sorry but IMO. Very badly handled. The members need never to have known anything of this.

 

Dear Mike Allen, You have limited posts for your 5 years and question the existing staff? I am telling you first hand that I suffered abuse from the banned person. I cannot stress how stupid and low your judgement ride with me. Or do you agree that all Canadians should be treated as ATMs by one who was in power here. Using this forum as a fishing hole was no figment of anyone's imagination.

I might be banned for this reply, but you should know that you speak from total ignorance. Or are you a predator too?

Believe you me, the current admin are trying to protect your privacy.and mine too. How did you feel about your URL being tracked?

I had alerted the admin about my concerns long ago and they trusted this person and told me to ignore the foibles. They'd known this person for years and gave him the benefit of the doubt. It took recent developments to make my accusations finally seem serious. Bye the way, the person led me from GF to here. Not nice for admin but a pleasant bonus for me.

We're talking serious privacy breeches... shall I name all of the females who, in my opinion got stalked? And felt they'd get banned for expressing their concern because someone was admin?

If you wish to align yourself with the outcasts, go for it. PM me and I'll send you their current site. And have a wonderful journey there.

I for one will not listen to pot shots from someone who has zero first hand knowledge of this terrible breech.

 

Yes, it does appear that you have a very high opinion of yourself. Hence, no doubt, the long-winded, self-important, badly-typed ramblings you 'contribute'. The admin here do a wonderful job to keep GC running smoothly. Would you be willing to give up your free time to do it? Even if you were capable? If not, I suggest you keep your opinions to yourself.

 

If this is true, it is indeed serious. Probably criminal too.

 

If this is indeed true it should not be swept under the carpet and covered up .

 

Having been a Moderator on this Forum many years ago, I agree with FC and can confirm it is a thankless job taking up much of one's time for no personal gain except the knowledge that one has contributed to the smooth running of the Forum.

 

Well I just wanted to say admin/webmaster and mods, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for all your efforts you put into running this site and dealing with all the that comes along with it.

When I’ve had issues in the past you have dealt with it swiftly (thanks personally to FC for this) and you have never made me feel like I was a nuisance.

I feel for you-must be horrible when you get negative comments despite trying to do your best. (I’ve been in similar situations, doing something for free and you still get **** for it and it makes you feel like jacking it in).

Well THANK YOU-you are appreciated.

 

Mike Allen ,it appears you did not read or take on board the seriousness of the situation FC has reported to us.
It is more than just a local tiff and I for one have some idea as to the work that the Mods do having been on hear for donkeys years.
A thankless task.......I salute them all

Please read this , taken from FC’s report.

“In the recent days, we have had a number of things happen including people creating multiple accounts (known as sock accounts, including deliberately altering location information to hide these accounts), others disrupting the peace and harmony of the board, ad hominin attacks, abusive communications to the staff team and unauthorised deletion of members accounts. Clearly, we cannot allow this sort of behaviour to happen, and therefore we have had to take suitable action. It always saddens us when that action means that people leave us, and we genuinely wish anyone who will no longer be sharing our company all the best for their future”

 

Who are the current moderators?

 

Come on folks agree to disagree if you wish, but ha, lets get back to enjoying this site for what it is...............oh and Spring will soon be on its way

 

I've been a member of said forum for sometime and Zig is a mod on there anyway. I haven't spoken to him but there's no law to say we can't!!
