Bring back the report button...

[PatriciaH]

So offensive members can be struck off and why in this day and age of technology cant the ip address be struck off so people cant re register

[Ethel]

I agree about the report button, but the majority of people have dynamic ip addresses. Flick the modem off and on again - different ISP address.

And don't forget you'd be blocking the whole household - or it could be a public internet cafe.

I agree totally Patricia. I rarely come on here these days, and i have just read your sad post from earlier. I wanted to offer you my condolences but i didn't want to contribute anything to a thread containing offensive remarks from that sad loser.
So i will offer you my heartfelt sympathy now x

[PatriciaH]

Thankyou Bathsheba xx

Don't forget you can email the ed using the 'contact us' at the bottom of this page.

Copy and paste the offending post, and put the email header as 'Offensive (or abusive or whatever) post in Question.....'

You need to give the question number.

I start the email, 'Due to a lack of report button on individual posts I have no option but to email you to report....'

PatriciaH, with the best will in the world, would you wish to have someone banned just for posting a flippant reply to your canal post? It has to be stated and restated, this site is open to everybody in the WORLD. The best advice is not to post very personal threads that might be open to mischievous responses. Would you really ban someone just because they upset you specifically? I don't see you leaping on and helping to get rid of the handful of really really evil posters on here. No names.

My best wishes to you, but fairness is fairness.

Excellent well thought-out reply from armylad.

(This is not what we agreed in the pub, have you been on the bourbon at home?)

[PatriciaH]

Whiffy ... i have contacted the ed many times to report what i see as troublemakers, offensive poster , imposters ... the list is endless , do not assume ..

[Octavius]

I wouldn't hold out too much faith in emailing the AB team, they are too busy flogging various comparison websites and cashback offers (spend a grand, earn a quid) to be dallying with the likes of us.

And whiffey- it wasn't flippant, it was downright rude and insensitive and designed specifically to further upset patricia here, so yes his replies should be removed.

You/me/him etc wouldn't say these things to someone face to face so why do it on a forum? Just because you're hidden behind a screen it doesn't mean you have the right to be deliberately crass to someone else.

boo

don't stand in front of whiffy when a train is coming into croydon station and it is trying to get its number







DTH

[B00]

lol, you're probably right- but i'm willing to bet whiffey doesn't fully agree with his own argument here either. He's just, as usual, playing devils advocate.

[tranmerekid]

well if they ban the ip i am on my friend will be annoyed



it is his computer ....LOL
