Monitoring the Family Tree

Gerry Mitchell

Is there a process/mechanism for FamilySearch administration to examine malicious/ludicrous changes that are being made to the shared Family Tree by an individual? In that all changes are recorded, it should be possible to audit and evaluate such behavior.  

I understand that there can be a valid difference of opinion as to facts/source information about deceased individuals, and that is not the basis of this question.

You can "Report Abuse," but be prepared to spend a lot of time explaining and showing specific examples. I've had some moderate success, but it took a LONG time. For something to be considered abuse, the acts must be blatant and extensive, in my experience.

Yes. FamilySearch can forensically investigate the actions of all user accounts.

I am not sure if all Community Moderators have access to these FamilySearch platform tools or if it is reserved for special teams - but if the issue warrants public Community/Support discussion - flagging your post for Moderator review may be another good way to 'escalate' an issue you feel may need such an audit.

Thank you Maile, I forwarded some specifics of the changes that were being made that were the basis of my question.
