GR has told me that they prefer NOT to take action .............. they prefer US to solve the problem(s) ourselves.
That does not work.
If it continues, they will discuss the perpetrator(s) actions with them, and try to get them to change their ways.
Even though their T&Cs say members can be banned from the site, and even though their warning letters say "3 warnings and you could be banned" ......... they will do anything NOT to ban.
Which leaves the rest of us in limbo, having to constantly watch out for such activities.
Like DC ........ I believe that if even one person is offended by a post, then that post should be removed and the poster of it warned very severely.

Oh I think they understand completely but are not prepared to take the appropriate action against those perpertrators.
After all one wrong word from GR and they could be sued for all sorts of things from 'Ageism to Xenophobia'
What I do find odd is even without the last 2/3 weekends spats, it still takes them a while to decide whether or not to remove the offending posts.
In my book, and from my diversity training, something only has to offend 1 person and then whatever the offending item is be it a calendar or a post on here, it should be removed no questions asked.
Sadly though, unless the original thread itself is offensive (as has happened) they only remove the offending post which then leaves the original thread reading very strangely....
Hope this makes sense, it does to me.
GR just get your finger out

Just to clarify a malicious thread/post is one that is posted with malice, malicious intent
noun
1. desire to inflict injury, harm, or suffering on another, either because of a hostile impulse or out of deep-seated meanness: the malice and spite of a lifelong enemy.
2. Law. evil intent on the part of a person who commits a wrongful act injurious to others.
Synonyms
1. ill will, spite, spitefulness; animosity, enmity; malevolence; venom, hate, hatred; bitterness,
EDIT:............CONTENT REMOVED
Because it had the desired affect so unless the problem rears its head again in which case I will post again
I think GR have not fully understood the significance of this problem as a whole
My suggestion is that when GR review reported threads they take all interactions into account before making their decision
