The "Report Abusive" feature - Page 1

According to Oli, he added the "report abusive" function so that obnoxious threads could be brought to his attention, and he in turn determines whether or not it should be deleted:

You now have the ability to flag individual posts or whole threads as abusive.

There is now a small red link besides every post. This will allow me to get a better overview of obnoxious posts (I really don't want to read everything that is written here )

I won't monitor the lists 24/7 but it should result in a much more speedier response to abusive posters..

Oli

I will probably be using the number of complaints as an indicator.   Meaning that if only one person has reported a post, there is a likelyhood that ony that person finds it abusive.  The more that complain the bigger chances of removal

LOL.....

I remember that thread well.

"But do you really think that Oil knows if one person hit the button the number of required times, or if that number of different peoplehit it? No way to tell."

Are you serious?  Of course the report comes from your user name.  No way to tell?  Of course list managers can always see who sends mail on their lists.  Oli would have to have this set up very strangely for it to be otherwise.

It's all there very clearly spelled out, whether you like it or not nonacona, Oli is the one who decides what stays and what goes.  Apparently Oli is the one that has been deleting all your threads. 

Geesh give the guy some credit that he can decide for himself as to what to keep and not. I belong to a thread that allows our group to see ip addresses and the likes. Im sure he can do the same. If the post is important enough, repost it

"Don't you think after so many deletes of the same person's threads, posts or replies, he would send that person a personal meassge with some type of warning, asking him to stop?"

Oh, jiminy christmas (as my Aunt Betty would say), buy a clue already:  the "so many deletes of the same person's threads, posts or replies" IS quite the personal message telling you to stop!  

He said he doesn't read ALL the threads.  He said he would use the number of complaints as an indicator, but would use his own discretion as to which threads to delete and why.   Since Oli never has sent anyone any kind of "warning" it is not logical to expect him to start doing so now simply because  it is your threads that are being deleted.

I have had threads deleted, so have other people.  The difference is you don't see us blowing a gasket over it,  or blaming other people for our threads being deleted.   If this thread gets deleted, you won't see me starting it back up again over and over, screaming in large colorful letters about someone deleting my thread.  It's called beating a dead horse and tantrums are childish and pointless. 

When you hear hoofprints it's usually horses not zebras.  Conspiracy theories might be great fun for the imagination, but logic and Oli's own words dictate a more mundane answer here.
