Spam Reporting and Abuse Policy

Stevoreno_55 · Post by **Stevoreno_55** » Sat May 17, 2014 11:03 pm

I'd like to know how a member can report another member's post or posts without hitting the "REPORT SPAM" button because the only orange boxes I see when I'm online posting and there is a post or posts I'd like to report are the "QUOTE" button; the "REPORT SPAM" button and the "TWITTER" button. Many other discussion boards will also have a button labeled "REPORT" or "REPORT POST". If such a button to report a post is on this board I am not seeing it.

I did post last week in an Apria thread; Apria was my former DME and a person registered as "GUEST" wanted to know why Apria was no longer my DME; I guess the reason why "GUEST" wanted to know my reason for leaving Apria was because I had nothing but good things to say about Apria when so many others here have not. My insurance plan decided to drop Apria 2 years ago; I hated it because I had received excellent service from them while I was with them but after my insurance plan made the decision to drop Apria I was left with no choice but to find a new DME which is why I left Apria.

If you find posts are being deleted improperly, send a PM to carolyngoodman with a link to the thread/post in question. If she agrees, she will probably clip the wings of the rogue self appointed mod.

BTW, I think if you click on the "reply" button in a post with a deleted thread, you will see the deleted posts.

Of course you can only PM if you are logged in so if you can't be bother to sign up, tough.

I lurked for several months before signing up (I was a bit shy)
Finally, I wanted to join the conversation; but instead of speaking anonymously from a corner,
I stood up and said, "Hi, my name is Frog, and I have a problem breathing and sleeping at the same time."
It's that easy---what's the big deal?

Have you not seen the welcome wagon here?

We have yet to find a wagon big enough for everyone willing to help!
We collapsed the last four!

People are very perceptive here. After dealing with their DME's they recognize trolls and shills a mile away. Using Xpap therapy increases you mental abilities so that logic and rationality are not foreign to most members. Note I say most, xpap therapy can not replace what wasn't there to begin with.

You obviously have not read the deleted posts which have nothing at all to do with what you are talking about (dwelling on).

Well, it's overwith, why not just chalk it up this time and start a new thread entirely if you have questions relevant to Cpap, or else join up and write to Carolyn about your problems. Things will be deleted, however, by those of us with the privilege, if notes are offensive enough to be unacceptable to board policy... just as they are on any other forums.

Guest,

The issue is that if you want to get your concerns heard, you need to register so you can follow archangle's advice in PMing carolyngoodman. That is the bottom line no matter what you post.

The heck with the welcome wagon! This is like any other place on the internet or in the real world... some folks you'll like and respond to and some you won't bother with. If there are questions you'd like answers to you are only hurting yourself by not signing up; that's really the bottom line. For me, that's the last I'm going to say about it.

Since there will always be people posting as "Guest", how are we to know which guest posts are yours and which aren't? How do we even know if all guest posts in this thread are the same guest or not?

If you want to actively participate in this forum, then join and create a profile. You don't have to use any real information, but once you do, people will know which posts belong to the same person, and they can get to know if you are a real cpap user or another troll. You can also PM any complaints to the Goodmans, and they will actually be able to track whether your posts are being deleted by the same person or not. Right now, as a guest, it is likely that there are many deleted posts by "guest" over the past several years, since many spammers have used guest as well.

You seem to want us to respect your posts, yet we can't even know which ones are yours since there could be multiple people using "guest" at any time. If you want us to respect your posts, then how about you create a "you"? It could even be "Guest1". Just something that is less generic than guest.

This "Guest", is just a "Troll", parroting his own circular failed logic, over and over. Self proven! You have a better chance pounding sand in a rat hole.

Folks this onewill never fill up

chunkyfrog · Post by **chunkyfrog** » Sun May 18, 2014 6:46 pm

Agreed! And well put!

I have not posted a question (for myself) for many years. I come here to help others but that is hard to do when the post gets deleted simply because you are a guest or someone simply disagrees with your thought.

Plus there are no guarantees that these same people aren't deleting other members posts simply because someone doesn't agree with a thought.

I wish I could say it is entertaining to watch the gang mentality of the clairvoyant folks here getting on their "Jump to Conclusion Mats" - but ask yourself why would someone want to say they are part of that?

I'd have to say that many of these clairvoyants are not sleeping well.

Thanks for the offer ems.
