1. Which threads are offensive to you?
2. How did you "flag" them?
3. This isn't a "board", there are no "moderators", and threads cannot
be "shut down". This is Usenet, where there is no censorship
what-so-ever.
Sounds like you need to learn about Usenet, so here are some links:

The bobandcarole thread.

I don't believe in censorship, and I believe the poster has a right to
post on boards relating to the subject matter. However, I don't
believe defamatory, homophobic, and inflammatory posts belong on the
Entourage board - i'ts misposted and out of place.

The bobandcarole thread.
I see no thread here with "bob" in the subject. Are you sure you are
talking about a thread in this news group
(microsoft.public.mac.office.entourage)?

That must be a Google Groups thing. I'm not familiar with Google
Groups (I use Unison <http://www.panic.com/unison/>). Anyhow I fail to
see what Google would be able to do about it - Usenet is uncensored.
Maybe someone else will have an answer as to what Google does when you
make such a report.

It's just something you have to deal with. Usenet isn't moderated or
censored by any single entity. Posts to Usenet are permanent - they
are etched in place forever. Just ignore them if they bother you.

Sounds good.

Ah - that's why I don't see it. I kill any post with the word "sexual"
in the subject. ; ) I suggest you do the same.

Hey that's a great idea. I'll have to pick around and figure out how
to do that.

That kind of questionable posting doesn't appear very often in this
forum - at least as far as I've noticed.
