Bob .............

an incredible number of people have left GR.

I guess that includes both the provocative posters and the easily upset RR'ers

There were also who RR'd a post simply because they did not like the poster, or did not like a view that was expressed, or because their opinion/view had been challenged.

Even the regular Friday night reporter seems to have gone.

What does one conclude from that? then............

the "nasty" writers have moved elsewhere?

the "easily upset", have moved on? or have nodded off through boredom....

or vice versa?

The problem is in days gone by, the report button was needed, some comments where very disgusting, n disturbing, and needed to be gone, there and then,


not seen anything worth reporting around here for a very long time now tho, every one seems to behave themselves now lol,

Researching:
It wasn't me

most sites have some sort of Report button, but GR is the only one where I have seen it used so often for needless reporting.

On a lighter note not losing sleep over it or anything..........

Do we really need the report button ? How many times have comments really been that bad they had to be withdrawn immediately ? On the very rare occasion something is really bad you can still contact Genes and they can check it out, save all this waiting in limbo wondering what was actually written then finding out it's all a damp squid anyway.

I know it's been going on forever and will go on if Genes allow it to, like I said not losing sleep over it. This has been discussed before if memory serves me right when there was a rash of RRing......just throwing it out there for discussion or RRing as the mood goes......
