h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I just wanted to say: Wakan Tanka Kici Un

I recieved that message by snail-mail on a 2012 calendar\
It is reputed to be "May God Bless" in the lakota Sioux language.

Now, some editor is accusing me of spam.
I looked up the term
SPAM-Unsolicited e-mail, often of a commercial nature, sent indiscriminately to multiple mailing lists.
there has been nothing comercial or indiscriminate about any of my posts.
Nor have I been putting the same message in multiple locations.

so how can it I be accused of spamming

Spam also means posting multiple times in one thread in quick succession. It's a bit like being in a pub with someone who never lets you get a word in edge ways! Do you think it could have been that instead?

It looked to me that Shagbark was upset by losing his badge and also not being able to contribute photos to the calander and was asking people questions and not being quite sure where to go to get his badge removed.

Obviously I don't know what the exact ins and outs are but it looks like the gurus and/or operations are unable to remove your badge Shagbark, at this time, or they are not taking individual requests like that

My personal opinion is that the message from the guide editors was sharp, discourteous and unhelpful. I was upset when I read it.

Ah, it sounds like there's quite a lot going on there. I'll bow out as I haven't been involved.

Shagbark

you can get to h2g2 operations through threads, the one in which you asked to be a volunteer or I promise is from Operations, on that page there is organsation charts and stuff

Oooh, I can help with that! The 'I Promise' thread is at: http://h2g2.com/dna/h2g2/alabaster/F21546918?thread=8295500 You can subscribe to all Announcements by subscribing to A85834173.

Sorry, to clarify,Shagbark, if you click on the message you got from Milla it will take you to operations

Vip,that was helpful but I am just trying to avoid links

Oh, OK, sorry!

Now I am worried I have come across wrong Vip,we are both trying to be helpful in different ways

I know that Shagbark has a message from operations so knew he could link from there, that was all

I was a bit confused, but not in a bad way. I just hoped I hadn't put my foot in anything, really!

thanks, everybody. I feel a bit better now.

I'm glad that you are feeling a bit better

I am also feeling a bit mortal lately.
And having no children I sometimes wonder if I will be remembered ten years from now.
so, I am thinking about my will http://www.h2g2.com/user/U170775/journal/

for some reason it wants to change that URL by adding dna/h2g2
removing those gives user/U170775

those in classic goo can see the journal entry on my personal space. this is one more reason that I dislike pliny. You have to click "Journal" to see a journal entry and half the time if you try to link to another page you get a clown face or some other form of Lysenkoism.

Getting personal affairs in order is something Hubby and I have yet to do.

We really must get it sorted out in the next few months. Happening over recent years should have taught us not to take anything for granted.
