General Chat

I received an email from GR, following up the message I sent to them about being reported.

They said I won't be getting an email saying I posted anything that went against T&C.

Nothing said about dealing with the "malicious reporter".

I wonder if I will receive an email about the other posts I had reported? Nothing went against T&C in them either.

:-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\

Hope they do Joy, I will be watching in the hope that it was "temporarily" removed in order to stop the RRer from reporting the rest of your thread

Roy

AnnC - my thoughts exactly! ;-)

I sent an email to GR requesting that the thread be reinstated.

sssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :-D

has anyone noticed that a previously vociferous poster has failed to post on any of the threads currently running on this topic?

I am now going to go and have (a late) breakfast, and cogitate upon my reply to Estelle, based on the further events that have happened since I went to bed at about 8 am UK time (midnight my time)

Reading about those has also been a disagreeable shock!

I won't say surprise :-)

Note ..................

I have a copy of that post

I have also posted it on Hooray Henry

I will continue re-posting it if it is RR'd

Sylvia, Thanks for posting, Nice to no that GR are trying to sort it out

Roy

let's hope they mean it and act positively

I complained to Estelle last night about the disgraceful thread, and this is some of what she said in her reply to me .............

I would like you to know that we are taking this matter very seriously.

I completely agree that the word [was] unacceptable for a family history website.

I have been in close contact with the customer support team this morning who deal with all reports of abuse and we will be taking further action.

I would like you to know that we treat all members in exactly the same way. [no-one receives] any special treatment from us. .............. [other] board member[s] [have] been in to help us with testing.

I am sorry if this has been spoiling ........ enjoyment of our message boards. We are doing our very best to make sure this unpleasantness stops

let's hope so!!!!!

AnnCardiff, That is what my Malicious reporting thread was about,

Roy

ridiculous - GR please sort this out

Malicious Reporting of a thread about Malicious Reporting :-S

Very dumb indeed

Roy

My Malicious Reporting thread on the suggestions board has also been RR'd

I have contacted GR and await their reply

This post has been requested for review

Genes have now contacted me - I have posted part of my email to them and their reply on the Hooray Henry/Henrietta thread.

I do hope that Joys thread gets re-instated.

Thanks for that Roy, I hadn't seen it.
Maybe GR should reconsider after this weekend, (and I can see no point with allowing members to continue the conversation if the rr'd thread is going to be deleted anyway) :-S

Lyndi Joy did suggest that as a solution seconded by me and GR dismissed the suggestion.

If 'the' thread that was rr'd over the weekend had 'locked' as soon as it was rr'd a lot of upset would have been avoided.

With regard to Joys thread the only reasonable explanation I can think of for removing it would be a (temporary removal) in order to stop any more posts being reported on that thread.
