Someone RR for no reason
You pull it for no reason
You give non answer for pulling
They know the team that doesn't use logic/common sense is in today so they RR some more

So endeth today's lesson :-D :-D :-D :-D

I thought GR had given an undertaking to monitor the RRs?

Yep they did but that person must be off today !

Well it has been over a week maybe they forgot..

It's always been the case that if you complain in further posts about being reported, (whether the original report/s were justified or not) that those posts too will be pulled. It's happened to many in the past including myself.

Sometimes you just have to accept that you have made an enemy or enemies and that your name alone is a red rag to a bull. You then have 2 options , never complain about a report, move on & just post something else entirely. Or never post anything without being 99% sure it can't possibly offend, particularly if it is a jokey comment.

Or, 3rd option, leave and come back when another target has set themselves up or the person/s who didn't like you have departed for pastures new or mellowed in their old age. :-)

Shouldn't GR advise the poster who was offended ?

Agree on all those points except I pay my dues and part of that payment allows me to make comment without being offensive...none of my threads has ever been offensive....tongue in cheek...stupid but never offensive....should I be censored because someone else think they know better.....No......do I think the RR person(s) are childish yep you bet but that's their problem in their sad sad world.... :-D :-D

GR do tell you if you question why in so much as they send a non letter saying here's the guidelines we can't say who or why but we pulled it.

I wouldn't say that about anyone Caroline, that none of their posts has been offensive, after all an innuendo can slide straight over one persons head but be offensive to another person, just as a joke can.

If I say something that genuinely offends someone then, they have the right to report it, even if no offence was meant. I wouldn't want to see a return to the old days when truly vicious posts remained on here until a member of staff removed them ( particularly as now there are so few GR staff!).

I'm not disagreeing with you can't go back to how it was in the past.
I though think that most of the people on here if not all are adults of sound mind, if we are to be censored to the point of no speech as anything may offend then nothing not even the weather is reportable. If I say it's lovely and sunny here some poor soul might be getting rained on and be upset therefore they can take umbrage and RR me.
IF I have genuinely offended then tell me that so I can make sure I don't do it again.
To just pull the thread is not teaching me how to play nicely now is it?

Caroline, I wonder what would happen if you changed your board name and avatar????

That would be giving into them...anyway they'd soon work out my new name due to my highly intelligent content :-D :-D :-D

Is there anything on this earth not capable of annoying someone, somewhere?

I would say no but that might offend someone.... :-D
