I've just seen in a recent thread that on the left-hand column of the two OPs is a message "this has been reported for review" - though the text is still there. Is this a good way to deal with possible problems while GR assesses the validity of such complaints?

Ooops... sorry ELizabeth if my Avatar has caused you a little embarrassment .

I created it cos I was feeling left out after visiting a thread where The Preacher Man had a great deal of RR`s in a row.

I did it purely for a bit of fun, dontcha know. :-)
Am I forgiven sweetie , pretty please ... xx <3

I think there should be 3 bins.
One for the RR'r, one for the RR'd, and one for those who post things that are out of order - then delete! The latter should have known better :-|

Brian - no embarrassment! but it has got me thinking there must be a better way of dealing with it. though I do accept GR has to vet the actual offensiveness of the subject of each complaint
