Hi everyone,
We regularly see posts that reflect the friendly and welcoming atmosphere of our community. We sometimes also see less appropriate posts. So, to help keep the forum a great place for everyone, you have the option to 'Report inappropriate content' to us.
As the community grows in size, I thought it might be a good idea to share the top 3 reasons to report a post:
1) Offensive material
This one is fairly self explanatory. If you see a post that you find offensive, please report it. You might also want to report posts with offensive material or content that could be damaging to a specific kind of person or lifestyle. Advertisements and spam also fall under this category.
2) Threads to be moved or split
Members often add posts to an existing thread or post a thread in the wrong section, where they would be better served if the thread would be in a seperate thread or a specific board.
Using the report function will alert us so we can action these cases.
3) Personal details
The forum is open to everyone and to protect people from being spammed please report posts that contain personal info such as full names, an email address or telephone number.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
Cheers,
Leonard

Can we add the words "liar" and "lies" to the banned word filters?

Agreed, that's the one word that I find offensive every time I see it and it's nearly always wrong!
Personal attacks on CS staff when they're not in a position to respond is to me unacceptable.

The ones I find most offensive are the personal attacks, usually after a night on the booze where people wouldn't dream of saying things like that face to face.

Its great to discuss reporting as much as possible.
With regards to attacks on staff, I have always removed names, but kept in the criticism, as there must be an avenue for negative feedback; its just as useful as positive feedback for improvements and suggestions, as well as providing some great discussions from time to time.
As Leonard says, if you want it to be looked at, report it.

I know this is a late reply but I missed this thread.
There is another point, Libellous postings should be reported also, as all and sundry can read these forums

But the O2 forums I believe work on the basis that its the posters view and has no representation of the community or O2 as a whole.
