    Well have you any suggestions how to sort this present situation at the present time

    Yeah.  We need human Mods.

    That is what I would like. But the RSPB seem unwilling to do that. Could the RSPB except unpaid volunteer moferstors. That has been suggested many times over previous years as well. If the RSPB said yes to unpaid volunteers. Would all members of this forum except that. How would the RSPB go about choosing who would be an unpaid volunteer moderator? If the RSPB said no to all of that. What would you like to see happen next. And that has been the case for years now with the  RSPB unwilling to do  any of that mentioned by members of this forum!

    Regards,

    Ian.

    I though Hazy was a good egg

    She is.  But we had a dreadful poster on here recently (previously known as Blackbird) who kept attacking her and everything has gone pearshaped.

    Our herring gulls are red listed birds.  Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

  • I should add that we still don't know if this is definitely anything to do with
    BB/Bee-eater/Peewit/Kathy&Dave, just an educated guess that it's possible this person has been malicious and just targeted Hazy because of the name, Peewit went on & on about this Hazel Jacobson who she was convinced was the root cause of her being banned all those years ago and was still actively targeting her under a different guise ... our Hazy wasn't even on the forum back then ... I am hoping that RSPB will know for sure who has flagged Hazy for abuse!  Or that it's all a ghastly mistake on their part which they can rectify!

  • im afraid I hadnt quiet processed and understood everything so i wrote the name in correctly.

    when I go home for the day then in the evening come back to my residential home  I have to process everything that has happened today even if its just a normal day before my mind can  transition to something else and process new infomation so I usualy have to wait until Iv done that before going on the next activaty  regardless of if its sorting photos or going onto the community on my phone or i pad. otherwise my braim doesnt process everything like it should do. cause i didnt do that my brain wasnt ready  to concentrate and wasnt reasy to process any new infomation. 

    all the infomation got jumbled up and comfused in my head and i wasnt able to process everything properly

    that and back when the banned poster was around she  used to use hazy and hazel enterchangably just to comfuse me so cause wendys post had both hazy and hazel memtioned aswell I got the names and everything mixed up when reading the posts Mike. I was talking about hazy not hazel Jacobson and  I acidently added Jacobson on the end of the name hazy

    its Hazy we are hoping to solve a problom for her to to be able to post

    sorry for the comfusion

    Ian you asked for ideas and the most sensible idea on any Forum is to have good Moderation. It really is the RSPB's duty to supply good moderation on behalf of their Forum Users and making the Fora Members only would not necessarily sort out all these issues. 

    1: I'm quite sure that some RSPB members are quite capable of being rude and abusive especially if someone was to upset them either deliberately or accidentally - remember that written text often loses any nuances that would have been present if the same response had been verbal.

    2: I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure Hazy was and probably still is a member of the RSPB - yet she is under threat from being banned. 

    3: If the RSPB cannot afford to employ moderators, would it not be sensible for them to have a trial phase of volunteer moderators. It certainly wouldn't take an Einstein to work out a handful of people who could be trusted to act as Moderators for a trial period. 

    4: As a last resort the RSPB ought to inform the membership of the status of the Forum Software - is it a case that it is no longer supported by the initial suppliers and is therefore in a gradual death spiral. If so are they looking at a replacement or is this the last iteration of this type of community interaction. Not an ideal solution for everyone but at least people would know the situation but once again the RSPB fail dramatically in the communication and openness stakes.

  • What is really crazy is that we can message Hazy and she can respond although she can't Post. Some Software implementation Slight smile

  • Hazy is still a member of the community  its just that she keeps getting messages her acounts going to be deleated and the date of deleation keeps changing. but Hazy can see our messages and so see any soloutions people say.

    We know that. However she is prevented from posting to the Forums because she may be a"bad person" but if she wanted to she could send "bad" messages to us all because she is not prevented from doing that. That demonstrates how weak this Software is which was the point of my posting. 

  • To be honest I feel as if the RSPB don’t care about this forum. Are any of the RSPB management or staff ever looking or read any of the forum posts by members of this forum. It seems a very long time since the survey about this forum took place! Absolute silence. Then the changes to the main RSPB website! Promises that the most important areas on the RSPB’s main website would be up and running and to normal by January 2024. Still large parts of the Reserve listings still missing after 6 month. The maps of RSPB reserves are still missing. The events page m haven’t been updated! RSPB Saltholme where holding on the Sunday just gone a big Saltholme anniversary event. No details at all on the.RSPB about that event on the Sunday just gone on the events from RSPB reserves. There is far less detail from the RSPB reserves at present since the upgrade to this new so called refreshed improved RSPB website. The RSPB might call this an improvement. But I would say much less information on the RSPB main website. I could go on about these so called improvements. But I will leave that at present on what  I’ve just posted!

    Ian.

    That was my initial thoughts also.

    Not just Hazel, but also attacking others who had any connection with her, not just publicly, but also via PM.

    I sincerely hope Hazel's situation is resolved quickly, both Hazel and Mike are a superb couple to know and spend time with, which I know many long standing forumites here have had the pleasure of.
