Is it rude to ask what happened to Jings? I have spells of not using Gransnet , and must have missed something.

Alima Sun 04-Jun-17 07:30:19

Ahh. Thanks for letting us know Notme. General exodus to twitter?

So is the lesson to be learned from this if you want to get rid of someone keep reporting them and GNHQ will eventually get rid of them for you? There have been lots of comments about cliques and such existing, but it strikes me that this is an opportunity for some people to get together and do their worst.

Didn't know it was that easy, be interesting to see who else disappears.

A while ago I read posts about there being cliques on here.
I said out loud to nobody in particular. "Well I don't think I'm part of a clique" My D's reply "Mother if you have to ask then you are part of it"
News to me ??

Further recall of the email from GransnetHQ. (And in the interest of complete transparency).

Apparently a number of people were saying their friends wanted to join Gransnet, but they were afraid of jingl. So HQ had no option but to protect the site.

That's it now. smile

The Gransnet mafia is alive and well and will continue to make sure the whole site is run according to their needs.

Nobody needed to be afraid of jingl. It's hypocrisy that ruins Gransnet.

What a load of cobblers! hmm

(not you, merlot)

Ana Sun 04-Jun-17 13:29:34

I do hope all these 'friends' have joined now and that there's no one else they're afraid of...

Mountains and Molehills!

Ana Sun 04-Jun-17 13:38:12

Obviously to you, mcem.

Oh hell does that mean we are only going to get the sort of people who want everyone to be nice all the time, no wonder GN is getting more bland and boring.
As the title of this thread is 'disappeared' maybe we could play a game and start reporting someone and see how long before GNHQ removes them, and carry on until only one is left. Bit like the balloon game.

merlotgran Sun 04-Jun-17 14:37:17

There's a place for everyone to be nice on this forum. Enter it at your peril if you disagree with any of their protestations. Even Cari was made as welcome as the plague!

Why can't the rest of the forum be the 'free for all' it used to be?

There were ten in the bed and the little one said
Roll over etc etc

Last gran standing

MargaretX Sun 04-Jun-17 14:54:50

I remember jings from the first weeks in GN. I got the opinion that she liked wine a bit too much and there were some 'strange' comments. Then she seemed depressed. She was not in control of her outbursts BUT whatever she did she did not deserve to be banned.
Actually we don't know what she replied to GNHQ
merlotgran calm down its not like you to be so abrasive.
Its only an Internet forum for old women -its not real life.

Galen Sun 04-Jun-17 15:00:11

Hey! Watch who you're calling old! I'm 72 years young.
(90 years old in body 32in mind)

rafichagran Sun 04-Jun-17 16:06:29

Very sad, I cannot see why anyone should be scared of anyone one here. This is not real life. I just enjoy reading and posting on the forum. Really have no worry about what people think of me. I think it is sad that * Jings* was banned, but not going to worry about it, as I am sure she doesn't.

Notme Sun 04-Jun-17 17:40:46

She very rarely touches alcohol!!! shock Certainly not at home. And no, she doesn't mind in the least bit, now. But at the time she was very very upset.

And the worst thing she said to GNHQ was when she politely apologised for being unable to reciprocate the good wishes they expressed to her in their final email. Understandable under the circumstances perhaps.

merlotgran Sun 04-Jun-17 17:46:11

grin

Notme Sun 04-Jun-17 17:49:28

wink

Rigby46 Sun 04-Jun-17 17:57:07

How come Notme knows so much - is it what I think?

Ana Sun 04-Jun-17 18:03:45

Whether it is or not, the reporters will be frantically at it - thanks Riggers...hmm

NotTooOld Sun 04-Jun-17 18:07:27

I love these conspiracy theories. grin Jing posted an actual (I think) photo of herself once, a few of us did. She looked a harmless enough lady.

Gagagran Sun 04-Jun-17 18:16:53

Yes she took some persuading but she did post an actual photo - she had white hair and did not look in the slightest bit scary! I still miss Jings - she was a breath of fresh air.

MargaretX Sun 04-Jun-17 18:21:52

Next time you are at a meeting of mixed ages and you will see you are one of the oldest. Saying you are 72 years young convinces nobody. When I was growing up I thought even 50 was old. and I don't think anything has changed.
Being called old is not an insult.
