I’ve noticed there is a user in one of the leaderboards with an inappropriate username and profile image.
This is on a school aged memrise, and could possibly be linked to another school, but I cannot report the user. I also cannot send a message to any of the moderators - either in a group or to individual moderators.
How can I report this?
Thanks
i had a look at the leaderboards of all the courses you’re taking and I did not see anything “inappropriate”. (The minimum age in here, btw, is 13, it should be 20)
also, what do you mean with “This is on a school aged memrise, and could possibly be linked to another school” and “inappropriate users”?
Hello,
As a teacher we can create groups that our students can then join to do exam revision. All the computer science courses I’m learning are targeted at 15-16 year olds. There is a username with a picture of a child who made the news
a few years ago because he died. The name of the user references the case. This I would class as inappropriate - I don’t even feel comfortable going into further detail on a forum.
When looking for a way to report I noticed the follower/following behaviour and it seems to fit that of a student in a school class.
aha. (So it is inappropriate - maybe it is a form of hommage, whatever). If the course/group is public, I don’t understand why you feel uncomfortable “going into details” (I did not ask for details). And you are a teacher and you created the group, that mean you invited the users/pupils., you can then speak yourself with that child about what you consider “inappropriate”.
Except that it is not my course. I did not create the course. I have simply created a group so that my students can access the course. That is how groups work. So no I cannot “speak myself with that child”. Being a teacher that is the first thing I would do if it were my students. Thank you for your infinite wisdom. I think I will try and find a different resolution as I’m not getting the answers i seek here.
Yes, I see what you mean. It’s pretty tasteless, to say the least.
Although, I think it likely that very few people will recognise the image, I have drawn the forum mods attention to this via a private message, inviting them to take a view.
Hope this helps.
Yeah I saw a guy with an Elliot Rodger avatar and looked for a way to report it, but found none and gave up on it.
If that’s the guy you’re talking about, he didn’t just die, he killed 6 people, injured 14 others, and then killed himself. He’s looked up to as a hero in some of the very dark corners of the web and that av and maybe the user should be banned.
edit: found him: https://www.memrise.com/user/hosseinbitbeats59/
No, it was something else but that one’s been addressed now.
