British Expats is not a timeline site.

There are several sites on the internet which exist in order that visa applicants from various countries can compare and contrast their individual timelines. This is not one of them.
The Aus Immigration Forum is here for people to ask questions and seek advice. We do offer the option for people to post their timelines in their signatures and/or extended signatures, but we ask that people should not start threads with the intention of getting people to fill them just with timeline information.

Bear in mind also that everyone's timeline is individual. Each person has a unique application and so will have a unique timeline.

Repeatedly posting to ask others for their individual details is achieving nothing as every application is unique.
In addition in some threads this is verging on breaching people's privacy and is making people unwilling to post at all as they are feeling pressured into revealing more information than they feel comfortable about.
Discussion of the process is one thing, constant niggling and speculating about whether someone's application may be moving faster than someone else's is another and is not wanted on here.

Thanks.

The latest development on the timeline front appears to be spamming of other members in an attempt to find out their timelines.

The private message system is not to be used in this way. If you are chatting with someone by pm then by all means swap details of your visa experiences, thats fine.
What is NOT fine is the sending of messages to random posters asking for details of their visa journey. many posters do not wish to share the minute details of their applications, and certainly do not want pms from total strangers asking, for instance, if they have any health problems.

Any posters found to be abusing the pm system by contacting people at random, and pestering them about personal details, will be banned.

This is NOT a timeline site, and the pm system is NOT a timeline-sharing facility.
