Overall my experience with Findagrave has been positive as far as the other contributors go. Most are great people, willing to help, share, or receive information cheerfully. But my experience with the administration has been zero even though I've requested information/clarification about the validity of some memorials and the dubious existence of a whole cemetery. I've just been ignored and gotten no response at all. This takes away from the credibility of the whole site because I count on the information there being as accurate as possible and if it's not, we're all wasting our time.
I've had a couple of contributors refuse to transfer memorials, (aunts), because in their opinion, I wasn't immedicate family. I've read bios where people have stated they will only transfer memorials to immediate family, even though they, themselves are not related at all and it shouldn't matter to them. What gives them the right to make that call? There also seems to be a lot of favoritism toward certain contributors, (such as those with ultra high count). You can complain all you want and it's not going to do you any good. The opposite is true as well.
So it seems the rules are made for only a select few and there is no consistency in the way the site is run at all.
In summary, I would not recommend Find A Grave to a friend.
