Among the deletion of sources, Life Sketches, and notes, and refusing to respond to messages, M_d is creating dupe multiple dupe profiles -- most of them in the last day. He also posts no reasons or sources, etc. He's doing this for no other reason but to harass. Multiple complaints have been issued.

    Have you reported the abuse? I encountered a similar situation a few months ago and staff eventually cleaned up the mess and removed the abuser.

    Yes, I did all of that. Also called and also went directly to the support department.

    Yeah, it takes time to get a response. I've decided he can have his relationships now. But the deletions of sources, discussion, sources is too much. But I've got this down to a science. They can be easily restored.

    None of my colleagues have known him to respond to messages, post notes, reasons, etc. Well, I did finally get a response from him a short time ago. I invited him to come out into the open and work with the others that are interested in this family. (We have a couple of dozen Y-DNA testers alone.) Let's see what happens. Perhaps he will become a good genealogy citizen after all.

    Thanks for your response.

    Best,

    Michael Cooley

    Good luck @MichaelHCooley. The one I encountered sent me abusive messages that were as bad as his abuse of the system - changing names to nonsense, deleting sources, changing dates . I did not engage.
