FabSwingers.com forum: Reported maliciously

By (user no longer on site) OP

We had a message from admin on Friday telling us we’d been reported for wanting to meet during lockdown. (It’s definitely not true as we’re taking social distancing very seriously)This has either been a mistake (unlikely) or someone has maliciously reported us out of spite. Do we have any way of refuting this allegation, or is everyone free to report you even if you’ve done nothing wrong

I'd have thought they'd have had to have reported the message sent?

Unfortunately anyone can report anyone. You don't have to show proof, the admin could and possibly should ask for proof at this time but it would use up alot of man hours. So I think it may have been done maliciously by someone you may have said no to

Would admin be able to see the messages, or are they not visible to them?

if you feel you've been warned incorrectly contact admin to query

https://www.fabswingers.com/contact-us

I'll post how admin deal with reports next but they never just take someone's word for it

Here is an explanation from Admin from another thread on how they deal with reports.

******Just a quick note. If people report others and we can verify that they have broken site rules, we always take action (either a first and final warning, partially suspended account, fully suspended, mixture of the above).

Every single report sent via the REPORT link is reviewed. Clearly it's not in our interests to have people on here who are bad for the site. Equally we need to verify what has been reported and be fair to those who have been reported.

Admin

PS. we never provide feedback on what has happened. It's just not practical given that we get 100s of reports a day.

Here is what the page says after a report has been submitted:

Your feedback has been saved.

A website admin will shortly review your feedback and take the necessary action. After reviewing the evidence available to us, we may disable an account, remove a user, disable certain aspects of that user's account or issue a warning.

By leaving feedback you help improve the site for everyone who uses it. Thank you.******
