Gather Will Allow Me To Post Amber Alerts and Recall Notices

thats good

Yes. It is good for the children and the Gather members who read Amber Alerts.

The voice of reason.  Keep up an important job, Bob.  Thanks to Mary Ann for listening.

thats great news!!

I think so, Dn.

Yay Bob! I'm so happy they changed their mind for you on this; and us, LOL. Good for you Gather and/or MaryAnne!

Take care.

Thanks, John  An, again, thank you MaryAnne.

Glad they got the point!

Me too, Sheryl.

Thanks Bob!

Thank you, Annmarie.

Excellent news Bob!

I think so, Kat.

"Separate from safety announcement posts please make sure the remainder of your content is largely original content."

She also wrote that you need to produce original content as well  :) Don't forget that part!  Maybe you can write original articles on how what you copy and paste is helpful? That might be an idea.

Thanks, Heather.

There ya' go.  I'm glad you have that settled now.

I guess not everyone has seen the article on school busses that I did when I first met you. You should repost them so people know that you are not a C&P artist and 'target' you as such.

I'm glad it's settled too. Thanks for the advice, Katie.

I'm glad to see this response Bob, and it sounds like Team Gather is working very hard.

I agree, j r.

One for the good guys!

Thanks, Shannon.

That is great news!

Yes it is, t w.

Good news

I agree, Kay.

This is good news.

Yes it is, Julie.

I am glad Gather decided to allow the Amber Alerts.  They did act too hastily.  Those alerts are meant to be shared.

I really think they are, Linda.

Hmm, this tells me someone didn't really review your posts Bob.  If Amber Alerts are/were ok, then you should have never gotten that first email from Gather.  I am concerned about this.  I just had a conversation with Kevin about it as well.  He said that he believes that Gather does review flagged posts, but now I am thinking that maybe they just review by glance, and not really take the time to make sure of what they are doing.

I am glad you can continue to post Amber Alerts Bob!  And thanks for making me aware of this!

Thank you, Pamela.

I'm not surprised that this clarification ran in favour of your postings.

Thanks, Debra.

The squeaky wheel GOT the grease! HOORAY!

Thank you, Kerrell.

Sure glad to hear the great news, Bob........yes, indeed, Gather management DID act entirely too hastily!!!!!  You have provided very, very important information, as there are more and more young children missing these days.....it's so frightening.  Word needs to get out!

Thank you, Nora.

Glad to hear it.

Thanks, Vic.

This is good you were able to get his resolved!

This is very good, Beth.

I'm so glad that you are able to post them!  I knew they were acceptable its just frustrating when people don't realize they are!

It is frustrating but Gather and MaryAnne came through.

That is great news.

Yes it is, Denise.

What do  you want to bet you get no points for your effort?  Of course I know you could care less about points since you are doing a community service.

I'm the same.  I post Ron Pauls "Texas Strait Talk" as a service and I have written prmission to do so.  Points don't figure into it.

I really don't care about the points, George. By the way, I read all your articles.

I see that lighthouse a lot myself Bob.  I appreciate your reading of my posts.  I also want to personally thank you for your work concerning Amber Alertss and Product Recall.

I am glad to hear this Bob. Thanks MaryAnne for sincere apology.

Thanks, Janet. Thank you again, MaryAnne.

Awesome news, Bob!  Glad it got resolved so quickly!!

I'm very happy with the results, Sue.

That is great news, Bob.  I wouldn't want you to leave. 

Thank you so much, J F.

This is wonderful,as I said we may find a child if we know about it.The recalls are very important also,as you may save us from a house fire or worst problem.

Have a great gather day!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, Debra. You have a gteat Gather day too.

Bob, one thing that some parents don't realize is that you can never leave your child unattended even for a second. The little girl now missing was walking home at 9pm alone at night from her friend's home. She was way to young to be outside at that time alone. Because I was a victim of abuse I never let my son play outside without supervision. Now that he is 17 years old I always tell him to take his cell phone, don't go up to stranger's cars. And to dial 911 even if he thinks something is wrong. He rolls his eyes up as he leaves and says. I know Mom with that look of enough Mom but he always says I love you. When he hears stories of missing children we just pray for that child. God Bless for posting what you did! Even if it helps find one child it is worth it.

A parent cannot allow their child out of their sight at all. It only takes a predator a matter of seconds to grab a youngster. Thank you Annmarie.

Thank you for getting this important stuff posted!

wonderful news bob. maybe next time they'll think before they act. i'm very happy for you bob.  you are a big help getting the word out.

Thank you, tammie.

Great news I am so glad especially for the children.

Me too, Renee.

This is great to hear that you are allowed to get the word out about children that have gone missing. Amber Alerts are the most important tools police and the community have in finding these kids unharmed.
I am glad to hear this.

Thank you, Angela.

This is great news.  I love to see your amber alerts.  I do not watch tv so I look out for these when you post them.  It keeps us informed.

Thanks, Jennifer.

that wonderful Im glad she sent you a message im sure you feel alittle better about that. I hope you still post them Bob:)xoxox

I will be posting them, charity. Thank you.

I am so glad that this was cleared up by Maryanne. Thhese are indeed helpful posts.

Thanks, April. I'm glad it's cleared up too. However, there are a couple of people on Kevin's Help Center page that disagree. Oh, well.

I'm glad that this was resolved for you Bob. Hopefully the remaining confusion surrounding this new policy will be resolved soon.

Also, I hope I didn't give you or anyone else the impression that they weren't useful or effective. I was simply making a point that because of Gather's small community size, they aren't as effective as they could be.

I hope so too, Kevin.

Every site that hosts Amber Alerts help the effectiveness. I'm just saddened that va couple of your subscribers think I do this for the points.

Great news, Bob!! It's vital to get the message out as soon as possible, when a child goes missing.

Thank you, Janie.

You're very welcomed!

Bob, I am so glad to hear this.  Sometimes you get the Amber Alerts out to the public faster than the local agencies in my area, and I appreciate all that you do.

Thank you, Donna. And I apprecciate your reports of unidentified corpses.

Yay Bob! That really makes me happy! Glad to see that you'll still be around... your content is very valuable to the Gather Community :)

Thank you, Sarah.

Good to know we haven't lost you Bob. You are valuable to all!

Thanks, Debra.

Glad you will still be around Bob.  Your services are greatly appreciated by most of us on Gather.

Thank you so much!

thats great news! You do a great service by posting this. I don't always watch the news but i am on the internet alot so your postings make me aware of whats going on. Glad that your staying.

Thank you, Cynthia.

Good for you

Thanks, carolyn.

that is such great news

Thanks, anne.

I was pretty sure that was the case, Bob, as I mentioned on your last post.

Glad to see they clarified their position.

Thanks, John. I figured you were right.

i am sure amber alert people would want you to copy and past to get it right and all

im glad you can still post them

I'm glad too, Sandi. Thank you.

Yeahhhhh!  Wonderful news

Thanks, C C.

Good I kind of became dependant on you for the recall alerts.

Thanks, Lori.

Great Bob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Maryanne!

Thanks, Norene.

Great News Bob!! :)  I'm glad they changed their minds on this.  It would of been a terrible shame for you to stop posting them.   Thank you for the message directing me here. :)

Hmm..I commented and it disappeared. par for my day today..lol

I'm so happy they changed their minds Bob.  It would of been a shame for you to stop.

Thank you for the message directing me here.

well there it is....sheesh...now I posted twice....well I am doubly happy for you! lol

Thanks, Kim. I've been having the same posting problems today, too.

Yeah! I'll join you in thanking MaryAnne!

MaryAnne did a good thing.

good news Bob!

I thought it was, JoAnn.

I was happy to sign on to Gather and see this, Bob.

Thanks, Renda.

Excellent news, Bob! Just be careful not to expose anything about advertisers! Like how doctors warn women NOT to drink Crystal Light if they are pregnant or might become pregnant!

Is this true about Crystal Light??

I'll be extra careful Spartan especially when it comes to advertising. Is there advertising on Gather?

It sure is true, Karen. Check with a board certified OB/GYN...no need to take my word for it. It has also been known to cause heart arrhythmia. In fact I have a good friend who used to drink it all the time and he kept having to go into the hospital for irregular heartbeat. Once in the hospital it would stop. They FINALLY traced it back to the Crystal Light he was drinking.  It's the Aspartame (Equal) in Crystal Light that makes it a health risk. But, again...don't take my word for it. Check with a board certified physician.

Apartame is pure poison. If it gets hot - ouch, turns into some really nasty stuff...

Yay, I hope whomever has a problem can have the chance to read this.

I do too, JoAnne.

Too bad so much stress over such an obvious thing, but I do give her credit for admitting her mistake. Well done Bob and Gather!

It was stressful, Karen.

Good news.

You should use GB to inform more people when you post an alert.

That's a good idea, Carl. Thanks.

I'm very glad to hear this.

Thanks, Tanya.

I wonder how many emails MaryAnne got about this.  I know that I wrote to her and she did respond saying that she had acted hastily.

Thank you so much, Marilyn. That was very kind of you.

good to read this Bob
