For a while now , the Admin team of the Facebook group spotted Portsmouth has allowed people to post insensitive and abusive comments and remarks of a cyber bullying nature . They have also been allowing people to suffer intimidation by not monitoring the name and shame posts where they pretty much encourage a baying mob mentality .most of these posts have been screen shotted and will be put forward in possible future case against the admins that is being built up . It is about time this group was shut down by facebook and the groups admin were held accountable for the suffering it allows others to endure .
The Good people of Portsmouth do not accept that this is in any way the spirit in which the people of Portsmouth live under we will not stand for cyber bullying threats or any other type of harassment and distress of which this site seems to thrive on

It is for these reasons that we ask you to sign this petition which will then be sent to Facebook and potentially others if legal action is sought in order for them to re evaluate their decision regarding this group and its admin
thankyou again

The real people of Portsmouth

The stories people are sending me about the abuse on this page are deeply troubling. I am currently compiling your reports to present to Facebook. Screenshot any new harassment you see and email it to your local representative to keep the pressure on.

The momentum behind this campaign proves that our community rejects the toxic behavior allowed on the Spotted Portsmouth page. Post this link to your own Facebook timeline and tag Facebook support to demand immediate action against these admins.

I think its disgusting they bully people with mental health play videos of people jumping off balconies and publicity called a guy and named him with his photo as a pedophile when he wasn't not to mention putting on there about a guy that the police were investigating for malicious messages. I reported it facebook done nothing I told him to remove things and the owner blocked me

Bullying of any kind is NOT ON. It's damaging to the people who are being lynch-mobbed, and also gives a terrible impression of the people of Portsmouth. We are not all like that, it's an idiotic minority and it needs to be addressed!

this page continues to come under controversy for its mob baying and cyber bullying. it is no longer a page to post informative nature of the city and advertise things to do. its not fun anymore and is a home for trolls. GET IT DOWN.

insensitive and inconsiderate bullying and comments are a vast over facebook, I have reported many videos and pictures also that have been declined as insensitive by facebook as they say it fails to violate the FB RULES, it's meant to be a social network but seems to be uncaring and seems to tolerate some outrageous scenes and statements!!!

I reported numerous comments on the Spotted Portsmouth Page that were upsetting me and my family, regarding jokes aimed at where our grandmother passed away and not once after numerous requests were the comments deleted, it then ended up in arguments between various people which caused more added stress to what already is a horrible time for our family! Spotted Portsmouth also 'liked' some of the incensitive comments on there which i find disgusting aswell!
