3.

You are of course free to use the PM function for this too if you choose.

4. There will be zero tolerance of any abuse of the timeline thread.

5. No posting of personal contact details, please see Forum Terms & Conditions (click), particularly point 5.

I perfectly understand why you putting these warnings msgs but as you can clearly see these people likes to discuss their submitted application timeline with each other and for every msg if they are creating a thread you do understand that would spam the whole forum. So instead of warnings if you could create a new thread where they can discuss their applications and direct their posts there it would really help everyone

In which case go ahead and open your own discussion thread, but don't disrupt this timeline thread. Any further 'discussions on a timeline thread' will be deleted.
(Casa, not CR001)
Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Perhaps the two complaining members above didn't see the last meaningless, jumbled, non-value timeline thread of over 1100 pages :(
