While I can appreciate you have your hands full, TT1, but it is really obvious to me that allowing the users here to self police our photo's/actions via flagging and reporting abuse isn't working. While I'm sure you are getting countless flags a day and I'm equally sure many of them are legitimate, the rules you have posted are way too broad for the normal user to interpet. All this self policing is doing is getting users angry and confused. Unfortuantely, people need guidence and they need someone to turn to who will be here on a regular basis to moderate not only the chatroom, but the forums as well. I'm hoping that with the changes you have done recently, you will have the time to assign someone, as there have been numeraous people here who are more than willing to volunteer their time to help you in this regard. It's just that this site is turning into a shit show with more and more regularity is all. lol

Curt, or CowboyJul 28, 2009I don't know about the kind of show you describe, but I do know that in all my eons on the planet sucking wind, self-policing pretty much never works in the long term.

It's not as bad as other sites I've seen, but it does happen here and it get's kind of tiresome after awhile. One of the problems with self policing, as I see it, is that people who go into chat rooms/forums are opinionated people. When you have opinionated people given a basic/broad set of rules to follow they tend to voice that opinion, loudly and often. In the end it turns into a stupid he said/she said screaming match, with no real winner in the end. If you have a few reliable mods to turn to, that doesn't happen. Well, not as often as it does happen without them, that's for sure. At the very least, it gives the community a small group of people to bitch at and they tend to leave each other alone. lol...Again, given my experience online.ReactReply

That that's what gets stuck in the craw of the nudists. So having appointed moderators who know the will of the site owner, would really help in narrowing any vagueness.[/quote] Exactly, we really are batting a 1000 here today. lolReactReply

OMG! SEE? I knew you two we're going about the same thing from different directions! There is a pig flying outside my window RIGHT now! All is right in my little world...the hawk and the rabbit are getting along ...for now, anyway!
Have to agree, Swifty. TT1, with a site that's grown this big and so many who want to help you maintain it's integrity, maybe it's time to appoint moderators to the forum and chat. Not to mention some help with getting rid of all the fake, empty profiles as well.
