Ok folks... it appears that it does not matter whether you are in your own little seperated part of the world so that you can have the leeway that other areas don't have, the envelope keeps getting pushed, and amazingly enough, (believe it or not) file endless reports about other users saying violations are occurring and fail to look in the mirror and see a big black pot because some of their own posts almost look exactly like the ones they are reporting. Some took the leeway of being able to tear at the ideas of others, and have translated it into derisive changing of users nicks, and accusing others of illegal drug use, and accusing others in a desultory way of sexual preferences, in essence portraying the sexual orientation they use to push their insult in fact a huge tos violation because it is bashing in essence of whole groups of humans that have other than what society considers "normal". Since it appears that a LOT of users have trouble controlling the descent of their insults and self policing themselves , a new day is dawning. This board and in large part another, the Gorean Board, have been allowed the LUXURY of minimal moderation. The Gorean Board has been able to operate with minimal assitance, and in fact, have the lowest percentage BY FAR of reports filed. The same cannot be said about this area. Posters have had various viewpoints about how this seemingly volatile area should be moderated. At the risk of making a seemingly unprofessional remark, other than occasional posts, for the most part, this particular area has less than a couple of dozen posters, while the whole forum RIGHT NOW has 13000 visitors and 375 registered people posting at this VERY minute, according to the stats on the board.There are 25 USERS right now posting in this forum. 25....
As I said, I am going to review this and it's TOP on my list of things to do for the WHOLE SITE. I would like to make a helpful suggestion to those reading this post. It might be wise for you to thoroughly read the Terms of Service http://www.collarchat.com/tos.asp at this particular moment. I would also highly suggest you read this link: http://collarchat.com/m_72/tm.htm . You might want to read it before you post again in this forum. Since this is a very different approach than what it has been until now, I would like to let you know, during this transition period there will be some additional measures taken here to help lessen the angst of conversion. If there is a succession of violating posts by multiple users, the thread will be locked and THEN the TOS violating posts will be removed in an effort to help those posting in that manner to be immediately aware of the problem. The thread will NOT be unlocked however, after the offending posts are removed. Hopefully, this will not result in a shortage of active threads.
If you want to email me and tell me your opinion of the changes, I will read gladly read each comment made and truly consider every comment made and sent to me. I will not be sending replies however to opinions or entertaining in dialogues about the theory of this at this time. The moderators will not have any additional information than the users, so they will not be able to add any guidelines or information than is here. If they get any mail about this, to make sure your opinion is heard, should you send to a moderator instead of myself, they will be forwarding me any mail should they get any, about this, and so will Support.
I am going to leave this thread locked and I am going to make another thread to make sure that this is seen and put at the top.
Thanks for reading.
Alpha
