Introducing myself

But you asked me to introduce myself as part of my continued stay.

I don’t need to discuss anything thank you as I’m quite happy now as to what are the rules.

No cutting and pasting as it obviously something that seems to irritate other posters, and be more personal.

Hope that will be ok.

I have decided to resign from my membership of gransnet.

I’ve only been on for a couple of days, but I feel so unwelcome by the people who run gransnet as they deleted my contributions without any warning or advice. I can’t think why this happened and my only thoughts are that they didn’t agree with what I was posting.

Thank you for all those who have supported me like Jura, and mawbroon and many others.

Ah, please reconsider.
It would be nice to get to know you a bit better.

What the hell is going on here today?

Hi and welcome.
Sorry you feel so unwelcome,
Sometimes it takes a little time to find ones way around Grandsnet.

On this thread it would seem that most people have been quite welcoming Iamnotarobot
Please lurk and give GN another chance.

I seem also to have broken the rules by cutting and pasting
I never knew cutting and pasting was against the rules until today!!
(see what I did there with a quote from your post )

Iamnot - a baptism of fire for you unfortunately.
But welcome and don't let it put you off

GNHQ only usually delete posts if they are a personal attack or offensive in some way (and not even then quite often)

So what is going on?

I m sorry you feel the need to leave without getting started it seems from this thread that everyone is supporting you

This all seems quite surreal even your name seems a strange choice I feel I m in a parallel universe here

But having said that I hope you stay

Iamnotarobot Did you have to tick all the photographs showing a vehicle/shopfront?
MawBroon Is it only me who always seems to miss one

I’ve never introduced myself and I haven’t the foggiest idea what cut and paste is?

I didnt actually read the GNHQ comment about introduction as an order to create a "hello, this is me" thread...more a suggestion that the OP might like to say "hello, I'm new" or some such personal intro, when posting.
That said, I didnt see any of the original posts.

Sorry, posted on the wrong thread [blush[

I’ve just caught up with this and am horrified. If you are still there iamnot why not give us another try. Most of us are friendly and welcoming. I’m sorry you have had such an uncomfortable beginning.

I just got here - and am also horrified by that message from GNHQ.

Poor Iamnotarobot, I feel so sorry for her. She was obviously very upset.

If you stay Iamnot I think you will be well supported by your new friends, I think HQ owes you an apology and us all an explanation about these new rules and the reason for the harsh unwelcoming post to you
Do hang around

Since iamnot is not the only one in recent weeks to post long chunks cut n pasted from various sources, I am puzzled as to why she has been singled out for this treatment.
I don't like them and tend to skip over them but as iamnot is new, perhaps she hadn't yet cottoned on?
Another poster, who has been around rather longer seems to have escaped the slapped wrist and suspension. Perhaps her posts were part of the reasoning behind jura's op.
Without arguing over the rights and wrongs I do think some explanation is needed in the interests of fairness. There seems to be a fine line between what's acceptable and what's not.
