What a pitiful small life someone must live, to be trawling old posts to get them purposely RR'd. Pity they have nothing else to do.
Maybe they should take up Crocheting LOLOL

Just to say I got a personal response when I mailed back asking about what was reported :-D

I now await a response to my reply to that mail detailing the date etc.

Thing is, I wouldnt have questioned it if I knew I was posting on the ruddy board a lot, but I've not been, hence my anger. :-|

It's a pity GR don't have an automatic 'get a life' email for those who report for mardy reasons.

By the way, Bob wasn't being a dirty old man (for once hehehe), but conducting an experiment on whether it's WHAT gets RR'd or WHO.

conclusion = WHO. :-D

The sooner multiple accounts are not allowed, would also help.

Anyone on my FB friend list are free to share my botty burp list I've just posted ;-) :-D :-D :-D :-D ;-)

Lots of people have more than one account for genuine reasons Julia, such as doing more than one tree. I don't think that will get stopped.

I suggested removing the RR from free accounts ages ago, as it is blatantly obvious that's where the problem stems from, and they did say it was one option they were going to discuss at their meeting. It hasn't been done, so they clearly decided not to.

As you said, some members claim to have left the site, and indeed have deleted one account, but their other is still live...so it's not difficult.

Take your point Teresa re. people having more than one account, for doing more than one tree. Never thought about it like that.
So, | stand corrected on that. Thanks

now let's have a bit of sense here and some empathy for the feelings of the poor person who reported that joke from 2004 - post traumatic stress from such a shock can take years to develop and this is obviously what has happened to this poor wretched reporter so purleese - sympathy, empathy :-D :-D :-D :-D

I suppose that even if they are a free member they have the right to report something that upsets them. However, that can be open to abuse. GR has an obligation to take any complaint seriously - even if it from years and years ago. But I agree that if someone has gone trawling through old comments to try and find something to complain about they probably need to get out more!

actually, if anyone had tried to use the url i posted they would have found that it was a spoof address, Ie not a pornsite at all.............

as was said earlier it was to see Who was being got at rather than content!!


hope they dont dig up some of 2006 :-S ;-)

What make everyone think that the sad individual who RR'd the 2004 thread must have trawled through to find that thread?

on the home page GR added the discussion feature which was talked about at the time because these "discussions" where results based on any thread with a single word such as your surname or location in the thread and it brings up these old threads

no surname in my thread and no location. My thread was called "F*rt Definitions"

Unless someone searched for F*rt or Honkinbottom, I cant see how it would have been accidently come across.

If Honkinbottom was searched for, and seeing this thread was reported I can only guess that the reporting of my thread was malicious.
