FabSwingers.com forum: Threshold for reporting

What’s a reasonable threshold for reporting another user for being abusive?

I’ve just received a really insulting message from someone as a follow up to a rather tasteless opener that I ignored. I thought about replying but bizarrely the chap had blocked me.

I feel like people who can’t be civil should probably be sanctioned in some way but perhaps I’m being too sensitive.

Anyway, I’d be interested to know where people draw the line between asshole behaviour that can be ignored, and actually reporting someone.

"Not sure what you mean by a reasonable threshold, but if you feel their message was abusive then report it. Admin check every report before taking any action."

And what action do they take that stops the abuser abusing others ? Remembering these are unsolicited messages

I've just had a couple of these messages too. Thankfully he's stopped now. Started being very abusive because I didn't respond as I wasn't interested. Not the only time it's happened to me unfortunately and the more I read the forum, I can see it's quite common.

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.

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.******
