Suggestions

Oh well the thread has been deleted sometime in the last two hours

No idea if the poster deleted or GR did

I did ask on the thread that the email addy be removed then went back and edited to include the bit from the T & C.

Yes GR have the final say on what is on a thread but they have gone against their own T & C.

This site is becoming a joke and I am not laughing

I think we have to be a bit careful here and let GR judge what should or should not be removed from postings. Personally, I will only report something if distasteful, offensive or a personal slur on another member, otherwise I see it as none of my business. A gentle hint on the thread pointing the errant member in the correct direction may be all that is needed.

As far as compliance with the T's and C's goes - how many can put their hand on heart and say they have never broken this one?

"In particular, you agree not to use the Genes Reunited Service to provide links to third party websites. "

I seldom report threads but will do so when information such as email or phone numbers are given.

Wonder what would happen if that poster received rude or abusive emails after posting their email addy.

I know exactly what you mean.

I reported my first thread the other day because it was a duplicate. Received an email this morning saying it can stay. So there it is back on the boards.

Why do we bother?

Can GR please explain why they bother to have T & C when they do not keep to them.

I reported a thread after midnight because it contained the posters email addy. Watched the thread for over 30 minutes, before reporting it, and was aware the poster was on site after the thread was posted.

Literally just had a response from GR saying it can stay on the boards. So checked back to the thread and the information has been reinstated and including the email addy. GR you could have removed the email addy and just put the other details back on the thread.

How can you enforce the T&C on members if you do not keep to them

So my suggestion is that the team read them and where necessary remove some information before putting the details back :-S
