to the person

on the step

for reporting a foul mouthed sad vindictive woman who can't seem to mind her own business ...

~~~~ from me to,it's ridiculous :(

who?

Gill

sorry edited some waves as i broke the board with them

who we waving to Rose

I won't name because then this will get whooshed... but the person was banned for reporting a post which was then deleted by GR...I reported it too, as did at least one other person ...all of whom were what I would call 'neutrals' in the argument.

that's just plain daft, banning a person for reporting abuse that they ,GR, AGREE was abuse....

what? they got suspended for reporting how does that work, GR tell you to report rather than argue back, strange, x

I believe GR has a new idea... which someone else mentioned to me, I thought it was perhaps a 'one-off' but it seems not...

"We've taken a look at the report of misuse that you made.

Unfortunately, we consider your report to be a breach of our terms of use. This
could be because:

- You have made several false reports already
- You have broken the house rules whilst using the boards "

Now I am aware that the above is not the case...so it would seem that at the 'discretion' of GR they will ban you for reporting someone that someone else has already reported, I 'assume' GR think it must be a conspiracy if more than one person reports the same abusive post...makes no sense whatsoever

That seems really strange Rose. Often several people report a post without knowing anyone has already reported it. Are they now trying to dissuade us from reporting posts then?

Very odd decision.....I don't really understand it

They noramlly do it if the reporter is also in the thick of the row, I was reported myself earlier in the week and also RR a post and I wasnt suspended..

if it is who I think it is, then yep as above and they should either keep their beak out or take their punishment like a man :)

the reporting was done last night , the same time as I reported, BEFORE the posts were removed by GR....on those grounds, why am I still here?

Dear Rambling Rose,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

The post has now been removed from Genes Reunited.

So everyone that reported provocative posts should be suspended from posting?
In that case, I suspend myself .... :-)

Didn't work :-)

I know someone who also got a holiday for reporting something to gr a few weeks back..

They also got the message from GR about breach of the terms of use.

A bit unfair that.

The trouble is just using the reason of breaching the terms of use is a bit ambiguous, why can't they say what people have actually done to breach those terms. It is all very one sided.

i think a lot of the replys sent by GR are standard messages

GR apparently like members to report abuse were it is seen, they like this because it makes the job GR have easier for them to control the boards and act on if needed. That’s what we as members are told.

GR are good at throwing the T's & C's at people. They don't actually do anything to solve the root of any problem on the boards.

For years paying members of GR have asked for things and are still asking for the same things to be put enforce like Moderators etc.


The T'S & C's are often changed in favour of GR at the moment in time, Thus leaving some members a little confused as to what is what.

Would it be easier if
1. If we as members were to report something with a reason then GR should report back to us informing us what action is to be taken and for what reason?

2. Instead of Banning a member for reporting something that had already been reported, just have GR inform that member, that it has been reported already and is being dealt with but thank you for the report anyway?

3. Things Paying member have asked for and still do ask for years later, should be taken into account, and possibly given a review as to if that would be good for the site?

4. If GR change the T's & C's at any time no matter how big or small the change is, GR should put a thread up on GEN and or CHAT informing members as to what has changed in the T's & C's.?

This just a few points that might save any problems like the one this thread is about.
I won't add to this thread again but would be interested to hear what you think?

until GR stop people having muliple id's, and stop people changing there names on a wim, nothing will change around ehre x

well it may be time to make their job harder lol
and not bother reporting at all
