History seems to be repeating itself

Referring to the deletion of Robbo's and Alan's accounts it seems it's about to happen again!!  Longtime contributor Hazy, who has been on a fifteen month break due to health problems, has tried to return only to find these messages from RSPB ... I will post copies of her emails to me as she is currently prevented from doing so herself .... I have also sent email to HQ in support and bringing up the question of her being flagged maliciously during the Peewit affair, you may remember that this abusive poster was trying to track down a certain Hazel Jacobson who she held responsible for her being banned all those years ago??  ****Morning Wendy,

Sorry to send another message but I just tried to post up a message on the forum for the first time in 15 months and received this automated response from RSPB  the minute I pressed post.   !     .>…….

Dear HAZY:

Your forum thread, Brief hello from Hazy but maybe a long goodbye !, in The Tea Rooms was flagged by other users as inappropriate and doesn't appear on the site right now.

Reason: The author is identified as abusive.

Please help us keep the community content safe and enjoyable for everyone. If you feel your content shouldn't be hidden from the site, please let us know. You can use this form to appeal the finding before 28 Jan 2024 9:08 AM, and we'll promptly review it.

The computer system at RSPB has one heck of a glitch in it when it can flag people up during a long absence  LOL.  !!!      you have to laugh if it wasn’t so ridiculous.          Please feel free to let others on the community know what has happened (I have copied the post I tried to put up on the community ). as I fear it will keep happening to people like Robbo, Alan and myself.     Do wonder what is going on when the software is causing these bizarre false flaggings and messages from rspb.         Here’s me ready to return after your kind persuasion only to find I’m locked out of the community LOL.  !!!       Deadline tonight but nobody at rspb seems to be receiving the appeals and it just keeps saying account due to be deleted.  ****
This is the message Hazy wished to post to all forum members
**** 

Hello forum friends and hope this message finds you all well and continuing to enjoy your birding adventures.       After a long break from the forum and lovely off community catch ups with some of you I signed back in after 15 months but still hadn't posted up anything since 2022.     Bizarrely,   I received notification from RSPB that my account was flagged for spam  despite the fact I hadn't even been on the community for a year and quarter !        I have heard that this has happened to others including  Robbo and Alan where their accounts were falsely flagged and deleted so guessing this is some software glitch in the computer system causing problems.      Feel a bit like the post office scandal being accused of something I am innocent of although nothing like the dreadful trauma that those poor post masters/mistresses suffered due to a computer software glitch.       

I do hope to return at some stage but fear my account will be falsely deleted later today despite no wrong-doing LOL   I have submitted an appeal upon receiving the first message from RSPB and they acknowledged receipt of that appeal.    Subsequently, I have received a second message stating ..............

Dear HAZY:

A few days ago we emailed you about your user account. That message was to let you know your account was flagged as inappropriate. You have until 21 Jan 2024 9:23 PM to send us an appeal using this form. Note that if you don't appeal the abusive finding, your account will be permanently deleted on 21 Jan 2024 9:23 PM

I have tried using the form link again to re-submit  but it says I have already submitted my appeal,  hence I can do nothing but sit on "death row"  waiting for my account to be terminated later today  LOL.   

This is what the form link takes me to:     Thank you, your response has been submitted. Your appeal will be reviewed promptly. A decision will be sent to  xxxxx@gmail.com

I have written an email to RSPB querying how I could be flagged up when I haven't been logged in for over 15 months and never posted anything that could be spam or abusive  but I fear nobody is in the office or will see my email until tomorrow which is after the deadline !      To be honest, I am not unduly worried but you do need to be aware that with these weird glitches in the system it can happen to any of you as not sure what triggers these errors.      Maybe it auto-generated the glitch when I signed back in  a week or two ago after such a long time absent - who knows.  !!    

So do take care all of you and sorry if I am unable to get back on to the community to maybe start posting again.    X

  • Copy of an email from Hazy
    ****Hi Wendy,
    Please thank the forum members for their kind responses and although it will not allow me to post any replies up I can see all the posts. I received this latest email when I tried to reply on your thread to thank people and another automated response came back with a new deadline ! Hopefully, the extended deadline will buy some time for the powers that be to sort this mess out, it’s all rather bizarre when the termination date and time is constantly changing ! At least I have some breathing space before all my posts and account is erased forever ! Thanks again and hope all returns to normal service in due course LOL. XX Aitch

  • Ridiculous really ... how can a post from Hazy which isn't allowed to be posted then be flagged as abusive?? Beats me!

  • Another absolute disgrace in the treatment of a very valuable member of the community. RSPB automated system at its best!! I would say might be best to call them Hazel but after speaking to them myself on a couple of occasions and from speaking to other members whom have spoken to them at HQ..I won't hold my breath on any of them actually having a clue about anything regarding their IT systems . I don't think they even have the skills to investigate problems within the forum. Only difference with yours to Robbos was you have notifications you may get permanently deleted (which obviously I hope this can be stopped) Robbo on other hand had no warning no nothing just posts started disappearing until all was gone..RSPB response...we don't know will look into it..A guess they are still looking for a guide on where to start looking to fix problem....Robbo will no doubt fill you in when he returns...rant over

    Glad to hear from you again and thanks for letting us know your fine through Wendy.....look forward to having you back posting soon ,-)

    (Pardon the Scottish Accent)

  • sorry im late. I didnt know about this post cause I went home for the day. I dont know much about hazy Jacobson and I dont know her very well  cause I started in January 2022  but I hope that the problom gets solved and she can post again. 

  • I think you misread Zo as Hazel Jacobson is from yonks ago and hasn't been on here for yonks , its "Oor Hazy" that's having trouble ...Peewit thought "Oor Hazy" was Hazel Jacobson just like she thought you and I were someone else aswell...infact who did she not accuse of being someone else out to get her!!!

    Hazy Profile Pic ...just incase worst happens Disappointed

    (Pardon the Scottish Accent)

  • Why you’ll don’t you email the RSPB’s CEO! You might get a better response! That is the only way. I can see!

    Regards,

    Ian.

  • beccyspeight@rspb.org.uk
    If you want to email Beccy Speight I got a reply from Mike Clark as well as other senior executives over the years. So maybe you can try. Although when I got a reply from Mike Clark the former RSPB CEO. It was around 2 weeks before I received a reply!

    Regards,

    Ian.

  • yes I did. thanks for pointing that out. I have seen her profile before. I dont  know her as well as you and Robbo and Mike  and the others. but  hopefuly I will eventualy one day. regardless though I   hope the problom gets solved so that she is able to post again.
