Yes, I will - probably tomorrow now Lara
Actually, the links weren't 'blued' but could be copied and pasted.

Jalima. Can you email us on contactus with links to those threads and we'll take a look?

Yep - still there on the How much pension for a comfortable life thread!

A thread about a thread about a thread about a thread …..

I reported two posts the other day (both the same by the same poster) which were blatant advertising. The poster had revived an old thread.
However, the posts remained.

That's a bit worrying Lara, if it was repeatedly zapped and refused to go

I knew a thread about a thread would get a reaction ??? or two ??

A bit worrying if Putin , I mean St Petersburg hacker has evaded the Gransnet zapper.
Maybe handbags instead?

Just looking now and it looks like it was zapped (repeatedly) but obviously didn't work confused so something we'll ask tech to look at on Monday.
cupcake very much appreciated, thanks! Catching up on the new GBBO and you can't watch it without a snack to hand wink

Hurray!
You may now have a cafe and a cupcake on me!

I reported that post at 17.45 today and I know several others reported it long before that, so why such a long delay before it was zapped? Maybe we would have got a quicker response if we'd cut and pasted the post repeatedly and called "*TROLL*"!

Hi all, thanks for letting us know about this. We've taken a look and yes, of course that post should have been deleted immediately. We'll take a look to see what's happened there and how it was missed. But huge apologies for not zapping it earlier.

MawBroon Sat 01-Sept-18 21:04:26

So was there nobody there yesterday either?
POETS day?
P*ss Off Early Tomorrow’s Saturday?

Hear hear MawBroon. Is ANYBODY there?? The cleaner, caretaker, night watchman.........???

Think we may have to wait until Monday morning.

And as this is
'A thread about a thread about a thread'
it will probably be deleted first!shock

Right, here is the thing.
Friday morning some spammer (or shall I say troll) posted a very tacky, unpleasant, mildly pornographic advertisement for “escorts” in St Petersburg .
Despite countless reports on the thread (Keeping Faith) and bringing it to HQ’s attention on the Calling GN Mods thread, nothing has happened. Now personally the plonker can post all the links to buxom babuschkas with big boobies that he likes, as I have no intention of opening them,
BUT there have been recent instances of lightning quick deletions of posts with long “cut n pastes”, deletions of even a whisper of trolling (the T word again) and genuine members have felt the heavy hand of GNHQ.
So, perhaps somebody might like to explain the dual standard which seems to be operating? Exactly who is GN for? And what is the rationale?
Apart from the ludicrous incongruity of such advertising on a forum such as ours, it the fact that many members are simply being blanked and their reports acknowledged - and then ignored
I look forward to some reaction. angry
