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.
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 ..............
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

so what about the notifications that keep giving dates for her acount to be deleated and the cause of the problom that prevented her from posting does anyone know anything I dont know or know what the cause was for sure now or not?
I have been studying for hours days on end no exageration rearching the diffetent countrys Wildlife in different countrys and various other faxtors sinxe i will be wildlife watching in a different country for the first time but I decided I would take abit of time out to try and help out today since I reply when I free. its hard to tell weather I have been of much help or not its bad enough I wasnt able to help out when we had that spam problom. the least I could do was try snd help out a member so I dont know weather I helped out mich but i hope I helped out abit.
im still waiting for updates since the last one was a few days ago now. its good Hazys commwnts are showing and we can see a post of hers but all we know is that there visable and there has been no further updates on the situation. comments visable is good aswell as her post and its progress but at the moment theres still alot of things we dont know and if not we then I at least
thanks for the update Wendy
Have you not read what I’ve said! Every upgrade whether it’s the forum or at the main website has got much worse with bugs, more difficult to use. Not just the forum. But sadly everything the digital team have supposed made with any improvement’s has actually been worse . Since the ending of full time moderators it had been like this. This has been happening for a long time and before you joined this forum!
Regards,
Ian.
