I do ignore the poster :-)

Some threads should be reported but back to my other post...Why not ignore the poster then the thread does not get ruined? Just a thought.

Also, I report vitriolic and provocative goading posts and those that give away someone's geographical location.

im never here to R R
shame really :0)

Have found some of the threads very entertaining in their content and a few nasty one on occasions. Have not yet come across a real bad one. Dont know what RR button stands for or where to find it. Several people have now mentioned the dreaded RR letters and still remain on GR.!!!! :o) whats with that?

Stupid enough that it was reported Ann, never mind that GR acted on it

How stupid isn't it? I wasn't doubting your word.

Ann, it's what Aileen told me - good enough for me:)

I can't believe Aileen was banned for asking what RR was!!! Several of us followed that by saying we didn't know either. Do we know for a fact that was the reason?

He did show his true colours on your thread Sue. Pleased that his posts stayed for everyone to read.

i have never hit the RR button but did become fed up with reading interesting threads, then leaving for a while, coming back and finding that someone has caused the thread to be deleted,so I complained to GR and named a couple of people. I also made a couple of suggestions re the frequent changing of names, and deleting posts only rather than a whole thread.

I received a polite reply thanking me for bringing it to their attention and advising that they don't have the 'machinery' to monitor all postings, etc.and the rest of the reply explained how to hit the RR button next time I have a complaint. End of reply.

I would have thought that monitoring all threads would be part of someone's job description, but apparently not. It seems much easier to get a complaint, so you zap the whole thread. I wonder how it would be if newspaper editors and book publishers didn't have the 'machinery' to read articles/stories before they go to print?

Sorry, I have said this before in another thread -but the whole thread got deleted for some other unknown reason.

What really annoys me is someone posting a thread and then deleting it within a few minutes when they don't get the answers they want. And of course the people who start up a thread that has the potential to start up trouble and leaving it to run on while no doubt sitting and laughing in the background. It's especially annoying when someone says "this will be deleted in 5 minutes". Why not straight away?

Edit - Hi Maz:))

I think I have tried a few times but I have real trouble getting messages to 'send' to GR so I now don't bother - I know someone else will have done it, so I let them :-)

recently I seem to arrive too late to reply on the threads or to report, so I don't bother to do either

I'm with SueMaid tho, I do think certain posts should be left so that everyone can see what the poster is really like.

xxxxxxxxxxx

!) I've done it a few times;

2) Foul language; provocation.

Right - I'm off now; have a good day everyone. Take care. :-))

I have reported a thread once, probably about a year ago.

I wrote to GR and asked them to remove the whole thread, not one particular posting or person (I didnt even know what the RR button was!!!).
The thread's content was disgusting and the language was crude, not from any one person but from several.
Aswell as asking for it to be removed, I expressed my dissapointment in GR that they had allowed it to continue, and remain on the board for over 24 hrs.
I've seen a lot of bad stuff on here, but that was baaaaaaaad, and needed to be zapped.

Never have and never would, if I can't say anything face to face I will say it on the board or by PM.....

I've only reported twice - one thread and one post in the last 2 and a bit years. Only if I find it really offensive, otherwise I just ignore.

I rarely report a post or thread - it would have to be really unpleasant for me to do that. I have reported posts when they are a direct attack on someone who really doesn't deserve it. I reported a couple of posts on the weekend that were on my Aussie thread but then decided to leave them on so people could truly see what an obnoxious toad the man is.

To be honest I would prefer to say something on the thread than report it. I have been known to get a little bit annoyed with some people:))

No I have never reported a thread.

I Move on !! More than likely as we all know thread are sometimes uses to gain attention and do that when people add to them. If the thread is left then it will disappear. NO on here much anymore anyways and look in from time to time.

I just see it as folks having no mind of their own,,,,,its up to the offended person to report anything thats aimed at them personally, not half of the world taking it on themselves to be their minders and be offended for them.and sending reports to GR.....

If I was personally offended by remarks personally aimed to me then I would hope Joe Busy Body would """"""let me be the judge """"if its worth complaining about.....
