Do you report rule breakers?

I just did my second rule violation reporting. I don't like to do this and will only do it if it is something major. this one is a p##nographic name and photo in a response to one of my discussions. The other one was a nasty response in three of my discussions months ago. Do you report things like this?

I know the one you are referring to. For some reason, there a people here on Mylot, who are saying Mylot is under attack. I do not know what that is all about, but they seem to keep coming back with different usernames. I didn't report it, because I am sure other mylotters have done so already. They keep getting blocked, and coming back. What is going on??????

My guess is that it's fallout from various political discussions which were reported and deleted earlier today. I doubt very much that it's a 'group' of protesters - more likely one whiny brat who got slammed for being rude in a bunch of discussions.

The person went to my website and sent a disgusting email to me about what he/she wanted to do to my 18 year old daughter!!!!

Sometimes, if there is what I think is something pretty minor, I just try to let the person who violated a rule to read the guidelines on what to post and what not to post. If it is blatant rule breaking such as slamming members of mylot or mylot, I have reported them.

Of course I do. I think you did the right thing reporting those people. This being MyLot, I'm sure those people will be stopped before too long, and the crap will be removed from your discussions. Good for you for reporting them. I don't know why people think they can get away with that.

Absolutely yes if someone were to put something really offensive in my discussion I would ask staff to remove it. I like to keep myLot clean. I would report inappropriate referral links, too, if someone put them in one of my discussions, and if they spam my profile with them, I delete the spam and then delete that person from my friend list.

Oh I will. this one I don't even know how he she got away with having the name they had on here. You certainly can't use that word in a discussion around here why can they use it in thier name?

Ok now I am getting a slew of nasty hate mail being sent through my website email. My website is for business and is not for people to be freakin' nasty to me. I may have to remove my website from my profile if this keeps up.

Hi sweet, there was only one time in a friends discussion that some wierdo got into that I had heard was doing the same thing in other peoples discussions too. I and some other people reported him and he supposedly had already been kicked out of mylot before but somehow kept getting back in. That was the only time that I've ever had to report anyone for abuse and again it wasn't just me doing it there were other people that saw what was happening in the discussion and the person who's discussion it was. I'm sorry that you had a problem with someone. That's really a shame. This site is supposed to be about other things and not about garbage.

Of course I do. MyLot cannot police all of its users, so we have to help. Each of us has to decide what line to draw in order to report, but it sounds like you definitely had a reason to do so. You know, kids get on here. We have to help protect them.
