Guidelines for posting. Community Service Announcement

[azureline**]

I thought this might be of help.:|

It isn't to me..... as it is not applicable to what I have concerns about..........

If the posting content or style of a particular member is causing problems for you, there is a feature available to ignore all posted content from that member. This allows you to avoid unwanted or undesirable post
content. You can learn more about this function here:
http://community.ebay.com.au/help.jspa#setprofile

Any posts that explicitly violate the eBay Board Usage Policy
http://pages.ebay.com.au/help/policies/everyone-ov.html

can be reported for review.
 To report a post, click the “Report Abuse” link located on every post, and select the violation from the pull-down menu.

Alternatively, you might choose to start an eBay Group
http://community.ebay.com.au/help.jspa#groups

As a Group Leader, you can select either a public or private setting and either allow public participation or limit the membership to a specific subset of friends and
acquaintances which will allow you to restrict the conversation to only those with whom you wish to engage.

It just happened to be done by a very sick person.

A Llama spured on by its owner/rider can achieve almost anything 😉

I had lots of posts dedicated to me, not even going to mention them but it went on for 3 years, that is a heck of a waste of time.

It would go into days of posting, only a very sad sick person could do that.

Really I think it is sad but funny why someone would bother, These people have never met me in person.

The people I have met from ebay have all been lovely people.

It does seem strange that posts that clearly breach the posting rules, as did recent ones, stay there for quite awhile. 

I posted a link to the fresh food people recently when someone was looking for an item, the post disappeared in a flash. That could be automatic though, links detected and removed.

I had 2 posts, quite awhile ago but on CS, reported as adult/pornographic material. No way could they have fitted that category.. one was a pic of a black cat... that is why I think sometimes reported posts aren't read by a human. I posted that view recently and Mary CG, replied that they are all read by people first.

Why would people be PAID to read reported posts on a simple chat board?...... It doesn't make sense!!.... I have been told on a number of occasions that these boards Are constantly moderated by people but I don't believe it!

On the other hand the way reported posts are dealt with (whether by person or computer ) doesn't make sense either!!.... I  also wonder about whether reported posts are sorted fairly,that is if moderators are involved somewhere along the line.

Vin if they were read how can they be over turned this is what I would like to know.

I have asked mods but never get a answer.

Should be a time limit on reporting old posts too... if no one has noticed a particular post in 3 weeks or more, then it obviously not offensive to 99.9% of posters/lurkers.

amethyst I have had posts reported longer then a month old.

Asked about that as well, no answer, just the good old C&P

I get answers.....not many to my satisfaction though, as above. They must have read my email and had to have been a human replying with all those links, surely?

[lionrose.7]

Az I always get a reply, so I know they have a least read that.

I notice they do not put names on the answers now, so not so personal LOL

I'm guessing that it is not a very professional process, Lion!!..... They probably look at each case and make an arbitrary decision on the spot, following no particular protocol!!

Is that right Moderators????

Totally agree with that!
