Whether they are banned or simply stop contributing it seems this happens reasonably often. It is a shame ,particularly when someone who has been a ‘regular’ is banned and most of us have no idea what caused it. A recent person to be banned never, as far as I am aware, transgressed . Sometimes I think someone with opposing views complains and causes a banning quite unnecessarily and we are the poorer for it. It would be very boring indeed if we all held the same views on everything.

Although I have to admit to adding to the banter on the last thread where this happened. 😉

Is this the thread that got Allira banned? Which thread was it? Why don’t you just tell us rather than all this ‘cloak and dagger’ stuff?

I can’t speak for others but, as someone who’s clearly not ‘in the know’, I find this very confusing and somewhat exclusionary.

Gransnet have been targeted since I joined in 2019. Apparently from a friend Mumsnet have it in for some forums and threads on GN. I have never been on Mumsnet and have no intention of ever reading it.

This is becoming like a novel.

I've only just come back off holiday so it all seems very strange. Allira has a sense of humour that I don't think some people understand. I know she had one of her posts deleted because someone found it offensive. It's a bit worrying as if Allira can be banned ........

I think the thread was in ‘Site stuff’ LizzieDrip if that’s any help

Iam64 Sat 30-May-26 20:32:06

Millie22, which novel do you think?
It’s a bit like an Agatha Christie where poison pen letters arrive with various people in the village. They accuse one villager of poisonous posts but provide no evidence in support

Hi all,

We can see that people feel strongly about this, and we don’t want anyone to think we’re ignoring what’s being said.

We’re reading the messages and posts carefully, and we’re discussing this at GNHQ.

We can’t go into detail about individual moderation decisions on the boards, but we do understand that this has caused upset.

We’ll come back when we’re able to say more.

Thanks,
GNHQ

Oh my!
I haven’t been following this thread at all and don’t really know Allira though have seen her name from time to time.
Does this happen often??
I feel like a person on the periphery of what is really happening on this site, is all a bit beyond me but will try to catch up.

Didn’t type “so”

Patsy70 Sat 30-May-26 20:49:09

Yes, thank you, Annie. I have been following this thread and also hope that Allira returns soon, taking into consideration all the very positive comments about her contribution to Gransnet. 🤞

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Sat 30-May-26 20:52:21

That’s good to hear Annie.
Thank you for updating us.

I hope it gives Allita some hope this evening that this situation will soon be resolved in acceptable terms to all concerned.

That's a reassuring message from Annie

Thank you.
Much appreciated Annie

Thanks Annie

Rosie51 Sat 30-May-26 21:44:26

Let's hope they are discussing it and seeing that we, as a community, would be poorer for the loss of a poster like Allira, and especially as we cannot believe she has acted in any way to deserve a ban. It is so much more likely that she has been targeted.
So thank you Annie for your message, and we hope justice will prevail.

kittylester Sat 30-May-26 21:52:47

Thanks, Annie, hopefully you can see how upset the posters on GN are and we have been around long enough to ve fairly good judges of character.
