quote: ORIGINAL: tazzygirl Honestly? They have no terms of service? not sure if you were asking me directly, however, i never said they had no TOS, or that they had no moderators. i said that people are left to their own devices. generally i find that people are far less sensitive than here. try abuse would be delt with, not calling someone out on their own crappy behaviour. people act like twats in here because they can hit report when people point it out and claim 'personal attack'. on sites where you are allowed to point out that someone is acting like a twat they don't because they can't get away with it. they modify their own behaviour or leave to find somewhere where it's pandered to. needles

The only other site I've ever been on that had anything similar.......chat/message boards...... had so little moderation you literally had to seriously threaten a person's life to have a problem or get a message. The way shit was handled, if a poster was so offensive you couldn't stand reading their shit, you put them on hide/ignore/whatever it was called. The offensive person would just end up talking to themselves and give up, disappearing. Usually never to be seen/heard from, again.

The overwhelming majority of the regulars on the site are opposed to non adult kink here. That's only because having moderation has made it that way. If you have no moderators to pull that kind of content when it shows up, what do you do when the site is infested with it?

I can hide most everyone, that wont prevent the major violations or the legal problems coming from them. A community, even a BDSM one, has rules, typically set by the majority of the members, initiated by the owners or leaders of that community. This one is no different.

I have been moderated once. It was for calling an asshole an asshole. I knew I would get a gold letter as soon as I hit enter, but it was worth it to me. The asshole reported me, proving that they were an asshole even more, and I had some time off from posting. I am still here, the asshole is off assholing elsewhere I guess, and all is right in the world. While I do not agree with every decision made by the mods, I do believe that, in the end, assholes are outed. I would rather tell them that they are an asshole, but, the rules here prohibit me from doing that, so, I report assholes. If the mods agree with me on my asshole assessment, the asshole disappears. They almost always agree with me, and the few times they have disagreed I have just accepted that they are human and allowed to be wrong[:D]. I absolutely believe every one is entitled to their feelings, but I also feel like the questions have been answered over and over and over. Post as you want to, be prepared to be moderated if you choose to call an asshole an asshole, rather than report it, and quit the bitching. Just my 2 cents.

I'm going to disagree with that ladyP The non moderated boards I was on stayed free of 'non adult sexual activity' They did it because everyone who was a regular was vehemently opposed to it. When people who were chronoligically not an adult came in, we weren't above taking action up to and including sending an email to parents (we had a few people who could do that) Those who came in looking for the same were roundly ostracised and soon realized their prey wasn't around anyway so they left (probably to yahoo or aol chat). Lord knows how many undercover cops we were nasty to LOL.

Needles, you got it just fine. [:)] Sorry to hear about the headache. Hill, I'm glad it worked for the board that you are referring to. How would that board have handled a picture of illegal activity posted in the middle of the forums if no one had the power to remove it?

quote: The asshole reported me, proving that they were an asshole even more, and I had some time off from posting. I'm not familiar with your particular case, but the majority of the time it's not "the assholes" who report posts calling them assholes, but other posters. I can't speak to these poster's motivation, but when I used to report posts of Poster A calling Poster B an asshole, my motivation was due to a preference for civil discourse. quote: I knew I would get a gold letter as soon as I hit enter, but it was worth it to me. I've been there too! I self-moderate more now that I am a mod because Alpha has my home phone number now [:o]

Those pics may still be on some server buried under tons of trash and a dozen years of history. Kinda like the Ark of the covenant boxed up in the basement of the Pentagon and about as accessible.

I think the problem with that is the legal responsibility of the CM owners.

quote: ORIGINAL: tazzygirl care to send me links to a few? There is always the usenet newsgroups and 4chan but I like sociallyuncensored.eu, anonboard.com, godlikeproductions.com and forums.philosophyforums.com/unmoderated There's also selfishheathens.com that is pretty popular but it's a site for atheists and being I'm not an atheist I don't really go there. I've lurked a few times though just out of curiosity.

Those sites that I go on that are moderated, only ever moderate for the same exact reasons. I think moderators on bdsm always get touchy because they are always afraid the site will get shut down for its sexual nature and so they are over-protective. It's like the South Park episode where they build up a wall to keep all the pedos out and then realize there's no one left in the town lol.

Not to nitpick, but neither 4chan nor godlike are exactly good for much more than mild entertainment. IWYW, — Aswad.

I'm easily entertained. I'm not on them to learn something or for real discussions.

quote: ORIGINAL: Hillwilliam The title of the thread is the first sentence of a Gold Email I got recently. The thread I mentioned it in has now been pulled [8\|] The fucking TRUTH is not a defense? This is on a kink site that stresses TRUTH. Are we going to modded for saying "Damn dude, you're short" to a guy who is 5'2? It's the fucking TRUTH If a woman says she weighs 425, will someone get a Gold Letter for saying "Dayum, that's fat"? It's the fucking TRUTH This kindergarten bullshit and catering to whiny bitches is the point of the thread and you fucking DELETED IT. Go ahead Mods, fucking delete this one too. I EXPECT NOTHING LESS I got a weird mail from a mod too, a couple of months ago. It said that I would be put on moderation immediately in the case of either A or B. Thus preventing me from trying to save millions of people in future generations from being born evil and with inherited diseases. I do not think that is wise. But it is their website and I am a guest here. And if I lose interest, I can choose not to frequent this website any more. I wonder what I would do if they required me to worship a squimel in the opening sentences of my every post: Hail, mighty squirmel! Praised be thy cognomen. Hallowed is thy breath. Squirmel away, most illustrious of all squirmels! Leave, probably.

Anonboard.com http://www.anonboard.com/bbs/faq quote: 3. What can I post about? Anything except spam or child porn. Don't post those. We define spam rather broadly. Common examples other than blatant advertising include repetitive topics about the same issue, posting offensive pictures in unrelated threads, and other annoying behavior. As for the second category, please refrain from posting anything that involves children altogether. This is not a Michael Jackson fan site, so please take that kind of talk elsewhere. Remember, you are solely responsible for what you post, not us, and we will not protect you from law enforcement. For more information, check out Title V of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Also, please try not to post anything boring. That is probably the most flagrant violation of our rules and principles. Violators will be denied access at the sole discretion of F2. Yes godlikeproductions is moderated but very few from the couple of years I've been there I've maybe seen one person banned and never have seen threads pulled or mods do much of anything except pull illegal stuff. Other than that, people pretty much what they want to.
