I had a reply from the Abuse team this morning, just as a matter of interest... Thanks for your email I am sorry but if threads have already been removed we are unable to look at them unless they are on the site. I can confirm that I will monitor the boards closely to ensure that I try and see threads before they are removed. Best regards, Abuse Administrator The Genes Support Team So there is a step in the right direction. While I agree that we are all adults, and should be able to behave like adults, that really applies in an ideal world. The reality of it is, there are always some with problems, either with a lack of empathy for others, or who just cannot help themselves. Moderation is needed to avoid tricky situations caused by that minority, to make it better for the rest of us. Its like saying we don't need police because we should be able to behave in an adult way in society. It just doesn't happen like that. |

Very well put, Teresa. I agree with you one hundred per cent. We cannot rely on everyone being a well rounded adult and that is why we should have boundaries and moderators,. BC |

No! If you don't like someone, don't agree with their posts or opinions then stay away from them, Send the poster to Coventry, ignore them, You are a bigger and better person if you walk away head held high. |

Definately yes---we may be adults and it may be a form of censorship, BUT iuntil everyone can behave like adults( the very small minority) then perhaps a moderator would be useful Carol |

Moderators which implies moderation is probably a sensitive area. Strangely enough I strongly oppose all this '1984' business where you now see us monitored in our daily life by cameras and computers and such like. They'll be giving us ID cards and taking DNA samples next! I'm not sure about moderators though. I think that there should be some system where you can report abuse. In theory this does happen on GR but we all know that in reality, there is no one there 24 hours a day so when you report it after a certain time, there is no one there and things escalate until the morning, that is why I'm probably more in favour of moderators than I used to be. |

Yes, but only to stop the nasty abuse and bullying that happens on some threads and boards. |
