Hi all, This is no hoax.  This morning I received the same request to "delete every post on my board" from this poster.  Besides be an admin on a few surname boards I also admin one of the boards on the World Ancestry Project.  Which is still under RootsWeb. She has been causing quite a ruckus for well over a week on the boards.  I would like to know the same thing.  How can I delete every post especially where others have made comments/replies after and to this poster? And on a side note any good suggestions for biting your tongue so to speak?  LOL.  Sorry, I really enjoy doing this but it can be a little frustrating when I'm not sure if I am actually doing a good job or not. Thanks for all your help.  :) Robin ________________________________ From: Diane K.

<snip> How can I delete every post especially where others have made comments/replies after and to this poster? <snip> In the past I have asked staff to remove a post that has replies to it and they were able to do so with removing the entire thread. I just use 'report abuse' ATTN STAFF and let them know that the post has replies and ask them if they can removed the one post and not disturb the thread. It has always be successful for me. J.

Robin, It IS on those Boards, yes. Probably the same person. QUESTION: Can a poster copy one of my List or Message Board replies (regarding how to do the Admin job) and plaster it onto another Board which has nothing to do with why I made my original reply??? I tagged it as Report Abuse>Harrassment because this poster seems to be going after me (and I am NOT the Admin of that board). I think the message that was copied was one I probably made here, on the BAD list (is this list archived???). Whatever, that poster is taking my posting out of context, from wherever he/she copied it from. Very bad manners, so inappropriate, so .... well, I'll bite my tongue here.
