Thank you - I rather thought you had misunderstood me



So as we are agreed ...

at the removal of the OP and therefore the subsequent removal of the thread

as the OP was against the guidelines ,,,,

and that member who posted that OP will get a warning ...

For contravening the guidelines ...

In the same manner as the other members in "thread posts"

2 warnings ... Then on the 3rd .... Ban .....

as OP offensive posts on commencement of a thread are regarded in the same

manner - As In thread offensive posts

Thank you for clarifying

Irene

Thank you Natasha.

One word gabberflasted

Hi Irene,

Sorry, no I hadn't understood what you were asking. To clarify;

OP is reported and immediately removed from view on the site

Customer Support review the OP and uphold the report and the entire thread is removed from the site.

JustGillian, I can confirm that the request review facility is now working correctly.

Natasha

Sorry Natasha

I seem to have confused you - well I hope i have, and what you have replied is not factual

For example ...

I start a new thread With my heading. But with an offensive first post ( ie the OP )

It is then RRd

Sometime later that RRd is upheld ( by GR) and the OP removed ....

are you now saying this action does not remove the whole thread ...

Because in all my years I have never seen a live thread without an OP or heading

I am also shocked that I can receive a warning for an offensive post

By the originator of the contentious thread received no warning

Irene

Natasha,

Re your post at 9.58 today from which it appears Customer Support were unable to see the outstanding request reviews

Can you confirm that the request review facility is now working correctly?

Thank you.

No I don't have any questions about the warning Natasha, thankyou.

Hi Rambling Rose,

The customer support team manage the request reviews. If you have any questions about a warning that has been given they will be able to explain further.

Natasha

Hi Renes,

No it doesn't remove the whole thread, just that post.

"The OP receives no warning, for the contravention of the guidelines"
- Not when their post is RR'd no. Anyone whose post is RR'd will receive an email from us after we have dealt with it.

"I can now see the logic of contravening the guidelines with an opening post. And then sitting back and watch the ensuing melee"
- Generally we find that posts are reported pretty quickly and so no argument does ensue.

Natasha

I received a warning this morning

""As you know, we can't allow argumenst to be played out on our message boards. This post was reported to us and has now been removed.
Please do not retaliate to offensive or antagnostic comments as continuing to do so may result in your eventual removal from the site."

So in one sentence GR tacitly acknowledge I am retaliating to "offensive and antagnostic" ( sic) comments...and in the same breath restoring the OP I reported post. Which was then reported AGAIN (not by me)...and the whole thread has now gone,

So am I to assume NO warning was given to the OP?

sounds to me some people are immune

Thank you Natasha

So are you saying when members RRd an opening post, as being against the guidelines ..... The removal of which, by the systems parameters, removes the whole thread

The OP receives no warning, for the contravention of the guidelines ...

If this is what you are saying ... I can now see the logic of contravening the guidelines with an opening post ....

And then sitting back and watch the ensuing melee ......

Hi Renes,

Generally we don't give warnings to members if threads are removed. However, we treat everything on a case by case basis, so if we felt a warning was necessary, we would give one.

Natasha

I have had two warnings...neither warranted it....I have seen far worse and nothing what so ever happens....but if someone is targeting you...you don't stand a chance

Thank you Natasha

Can you please confirm that ALL members that have had 2 warnings for either

excessive RRd s or posting content contravening the guidelines

Does this include the "removal" of inappropriate or offensive threads started by
members ...

i.e. When the OP contravenes the guidelines

Thank you

Hi everyone,

Our system does tell us exactly how many posts a member reports so we do and we have given warnings to members who excessively request reviews posts that haven’t broken our guidelines. We will also temporarily ban members from the message boards if they break our guidelines, which we do on a case by case basis.

As for bans, we do have a policy that members can receive 2 warnings. If someone receives a third warning they will be permanently banned from the site.

I’m sorry that some request reviews that have been sent to the customer support team haven’t been responded to until today, our team doesn’t work over the weekends. However, as soon as a post is reported it is removed from the site, which generally stops any arguments and problems.

Natasha

The thread "Those out to shame and hurt others why?" has now been removed

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/general_chat

Thank you GR it took some time but at least it has now gone

Roy

Come on GR get to grips with this problem or you will be losing a lot of long term and experienced helpers from this site.

The RR is still at it today.

So has any action actually been taken ? I doubt it and the Team will not say who anyway.

That was mine too ........GB

we should know our place ........

Quite interested how long they will take to deal with my post that has been sent for review

If it any quicker that 4 days ..... I shall scream blue murder ......

DISGRACEFUL

A message I sent on Friday at 12:25 has just been replied to at 12:39 today

Standard reply -
I see that our moderation team have now dealt with all outstanding reports and have taken the appropriate action.
