General Chat

I agree it should be limited to paying members.

I sometimes feel it's not the debate/ subject that the RRer is against
but some members who are debating.

And there are people with multiple accounts. All it needs is an email address. It should be limited to paying members.

You are right Inspector!
I stand corrected.

The RR button is available to anyone who is not logged in but, an email address and password is required to continue with the RR

Straykitten interesting points, that said if the post really was offence no one would be able lynch someone for complaining as the masses would jump in and defend them I'm sure.
It really should only be for paying members, not to say the childish RRing won't happen but it would reduce.
I know this has been touched on many times before it was just a little chat not expecting any changes. Personally I don't care other than it stops the flow of a thread as I've said before.

GR are aware of who is reporting, or at least the member account which is logged in at the time the report is made - some accounts are used by more than one person.

Accounts who make regular malicious reports are in breach of the T's and C's and risk being suspended or banned altogether.

I hadn't realised that the RR button was available to non paying members?

Not that I didn't believe you or anything but, I logged out just to check!.
We learn something new everyday.
I cant believe that the Report button is active for any anonymous person who happens to wander in.

How on earth does GR keep track of who is doing the reporting.
No wonder Itchy Fingers doesn't own up... Itchy Fingers can't post !

IMO Itchy Fingers is reporting threads, not because he/she finds them offensive, it's because he/she CAN report anything with absolute anonymity... even the GR moderator will not know the reporter's identity!

That is shocking!

I agree it should stay but think it should only be available to paying members. Then GR can take action against its misuse.

After reading this thread
I think we should keep the RR button :-D :-D

Though it is annoying sometimes
When the threads make no sense because of the holes it leaves :-D

As Stray says it is needed. I am sure you wouldn't want a post to stay a second longer than necessary if it was racist, homophobic etc.

As for the mischievous reporting, the fact that it causes such a response as this thread demonstrates, is just what the trolls who do it want.

Lately GR seem to have taken a more responsible attitude to reinstating threads and posts.

The problem is for the hundred RR not needed one mighht be! And for me it should stay, just because people deem the post RR'd innocent and not needed for review, someone might genuinely be upset or offended by it, and they have every right to ask Gr to reveiw it rather than say on the post and get lynched, just beccause there veiw is different to the majority.

I dont care how many times my posts are RR, it doesnt matter in the grand scheme of things its not important, the reason the Rr button is there is to get used, and be it by genuine people or silly people who do it usually to course a stir.

I had a completely innocuous thread zapped a few weeks ago, so they're still around.

All a reporter has to say is that they are upset or offended by a particular comment, or even better (or worse depending on your point of view) the comment is capable of causing upset.

All per the Guidelines for using the message boards.

I don't think we'll ever get any changes made to GR now :-(

Yes I know that's why I stopped looking on as often, but if there's really no call for it now why have it there just for a few to mess around.

Like I said it's not really expecting this to go anywhere it's just talking about it....

Caroline .............

it's nothing like as bad as it used to be,


but then the nasty posts are nothing like they used to be!!

Interesting....so basically you all seem in agreement that it's nowhere near as bad as it used to be when there was a period when it was nasty. So is there really a need now ? Stop anyone that's being childish right now.
Anyway this was just to see what everyone said as we know Genes would never listen even if we did get hold of them :-D :-D
Thanks for the inputs

What an unkind thing to say Ann
she was obviously Jealous ;-)

We did have some good Rucks :-D

so right Joy - Friday night drunks caused mayhem - I remember one said she could smell sheep shit every time I appeared!! I reported it to GR as a racist comment, but they didn't agree!!

I think it would be much better if
Only full paying members could RR :-D

I noticed soon as we stopped Friday night Rucking
And started to get along
The number of poster dropped like a brick :-D

....or could just be lurking in the shadows, waiting to pounce on an unsuspecting victim.
