Please Give Us A Tool To Flag Posts

[El Dorado Netwo]

We occasionally get some truly nasty posts from people who can't control their vulgarity, hatred, racism, etc.. It would be great to have a way to flag these posts for quick review and deletion.

Also, I recommend 24/7 monitoring by someone with Admin responsibilities, at least for flagged posts. It's frustrating to see these kinds of posts waiting for business hours before being cleaned up.

Surprised that GetSatisfaction doesn't have something between Champion Status and Employee status that just "Hides" such topics till Employees can take a look.

He was also vulgar in a reply to Roberta's post. Must be used to talking to women like that.

I've said this before, every community forum I ever frequented had the capability to flag problem posts. Why this one doesn't have that capability is not understandable at all.

Frustration and or lack of knowledge and can understand.
"Dissing" Hughes because of it I can understand.
Profanity used on a family "help" site ...
Some people need to learn how to express themselves.

I wouldnt even honor that last piece of filth with a "whats wrong ".

Well, you all know I'm no longer a customer because of the frustration dealing with the script readers. No matter how aggravated I got, well you know.

But I have dealt with that type in the physical world. If in front of me, I walked away. If on the phone, I hung up. They either got the message to clean up their act if they wanted help or they didn't get any help at all.

Having dealt with the public for years working in law enforcement, I saw the lowest of the low and eventually saw the decline of so-called "civilized" people who have no qualms about using abusive and obscene language. It boils down to the inability to find words to express themselves in any other way (aka: ignorance). Watched any sports/rap interviews lately? 'nuff said.

great idea !!!

Side Note: The Profanity Filter that is supposed to be active on these Forums is either not working, or else someone needs to review its "banned words" list. It's missing a couple of biggies.

[BirdDog]

I wondered about that too. It used to block such things but I know there was a problem with it blocking words it shouldn't have. Looks like they went too far the other direction.

What is even worse is it hits my Thunderbird inbox first then it is caught by HughesNet.  About all the profanity does is show ignorance and lack of self esteem.  Just look at the spelling that says a lot.  (crocks and thefs )  I think he meant Crooks and Thieves.

Sadly, like anything else  a Hughesnet connection can break. When broken it must be fixed ... that is not magic, it requires only troubleshooting to see exactly what is broken.

A vulgar tantrum is not part of the troubleshooting process.

[BirdDog]

Yea, I hate to call people on spelling and grammar too often as they may not have had the benefit of a good English teacher or might be typing on small device but, this guy showed his ignorance in many ways. 

[BirdDog]

Gwalk, I think the way people post says a lot about why they may be having problems in the first place.

[Pawnee County]

Yes I totally agree I use to have to put up with worse than this when I worked Tech Support at Dish my rule was simple baseball, three strikes and your out.

A little calm and an analytical approach will work wonders.

A little knowledge on how the system works such as checking signal strength, understanding how enable/disable Web Acceleration and how to perform a MBX Reset will usually smooth out the rough spots.

[BirdDog]

Not to mention a simple modem reboot. For some reason I'm wanting a back rub.

[Christopher San]

sgoshe, you you're right !!!  LOL  !!! 

[Sally Thomas]

From the "sounds" of his tantrum, it may mean his porn site got throttled. Just sayin'. 🙂
