And, if you do, what sort of thing makes you do it?

I reported one as I thought it was the biggest load of c**p out and it was giving 'someone' a bad name.
I did tell them too.

I guess you wont get too many replies to this one David Lol!!!

I did once report a thread - some time ago that in my view was over the top with bad language and smut. I hasten to add that none of the people involved are currently around. And I did say I had done it at the time.

Not regulary I am normally to busy reading and adding if it has peed me off, I did report about 4 on saturday night and I dont give a jot who calls me for it as well, well below the belt

Never done it Uggers, and not sure how to. I did have someone's PM's blocked, but that was after I was advised on here how to do that.

Yes occasionally - normally for goading baiting preaching or deformation of character ............

I reported a post this morning........was a member clearly trying to make trouble by making contentious statements......seeing as they are keen to play the victim I wanted to make sure GR saw the other side of the story........I also told them that I had reported them....then the thread went whooooosh...but hand on heart ...before today I couldn't tell you the last time I did it......xx

i did report someone's PM's on Sunday but most members know that

only my own posts , when I use THAT naughty word in a last ditch attempt to get a nasty or hurtful thread whooshed quickly.

Marion, that's the only times I've reported anything, when I think someone's being hard done by but I still think I've only reported about half a dozen threads or posts in six years. And I have always said I am going to do it or have done it.

I have never reported a thread, ..yet, ...but have reported someone who had posted really smutty remarks for place of birth, when I looked for a particular surname.
This was several years ago.

I tend to miss seeing the type of thread that causes trouble or offence.

Probably not, Ann but it does interest me:) I've still got that anti grassing mentality from when I was a kid:))

Hayley, I didn't see the posts so can't comment:)

Nope!

~~~~~~~to David!

Lindy ;)

Yes I have reported a couple of times in the past but with one exception I have always said I was going to.

I haven't done it for a long time because I really can't be bothered :)

Thanks everyone:) Do you do it regularly though?

Why, Keith?

I've done it about 3 times in total.

why ? they know why

No not a daily basis like I plow me farm......satruday was first time in ages..

I'm asking because I really don't get it - we all know there have always been people who goad and stir stuff up but does it really matter? Unless someone is really being vilified or there is personal information or a thread or post * really* needs removing for another reason, I can't understand why it just can't be ignored or tackled head on, rather than *taking it higher* lol

i have reported for flame baiting, or when it's gone OTT with bad language, but I wouldn't say regularly. I do say so though, I don't hide behind anonymous reporting. I didn't report any at the weekend, I was too busy commenting.

In fact, I'm surprised I wasn't reported myself, seeing as I disagreed with certain people...:-)))
