    • Oh, I meant thumbs up/down. I actually just saw 1 thumb up on another post, but it seems I cannot upvote specific users (from any account or IP address), or give negative votes anymore (I was able to downvote someone, but not past 0).

        • AY, I just saw a negative post, and i was able to add another negative to it. Maybe he LEGIT fixed the problems this time. Still testing it :)

          and I see you (or someone) was able to +1 me. I am not able to +1 anyone here though, even though I just gave 2 votes on other posts. Maybe you guys' accounts are compromised(?) I know you said you couldn't post topics from this account either.

            • You are under 18, so you're not really allowed to be here. Plus, you've already been kicked off like 4 times before. And you have admitted to having multiple accounts for upvoting yourself and downvoting everyone else, so it could be that.

      I am now finding that comments I have NOT thumbed up are marked green, as if I had thumbed them up. I cannot undo it.

      Additionally, I still cannot thumb anyone up.

        Software Architecture for social media sites often include an isolation level that is applied to each user based on AI heuristics. This makes inappropriate conversation easier to manage, but also makes the site(s) less lively. Udi is a smart with software design, and undoubtedly knows about the concept. What you are describing would indicate that your isolation level just got bumped by a notch.

        Seriously, it's not certain people. We are all victims of the thought police.

          You are one delusional guy. Following you around and watching you talk to your faggotpenis, mcbean, flatuloso alt accounts is priceless. I guess you need to keep up with the illusion that many users are agreeing with you for some self validation..but really you are such a loser that you are responding to your own comments with your other accounts..? Wow! This deserves some sort of medal! No wonder you can't get a girlfriend. I guess that explains your transparent anger towards women in general that you usually end up talking about on each one of your alt accounts at some point or another. Keep commenting this is fun.

            Yep, I sent and pointed out all of his alts. He can deal out the harrassment himself to others..but he cannot take it because he is a little coward. His obsession with you and his constant denial of what he is doing borderlines hilarity!

              It does no good. But thanks anyway. You and I may not get along, but I always reported his harrassment of you.

              Watch him latch on to me saying I reported shit...acting like it isn't well within site guidelines for me to do so but instead twisting it to try and frame it like an abuse of the feature...

          Why not? Profile pics are a basic feature on any forum. If it's to try to get more gold subscribers, it won't work.

          As a former long-term gold subscriber who left then rejoined and bought gold after you changed things and then promptly stopped, it's easy to say why I stopped buying gold...access to the unmodded section, more valued user input and less shitposts. Why did you take that away? You fucked up. Put stronger troll controls on, like simply verifying a valid email to sign up. Then, let your dedicated, good users do the groundwork by doing some filtering in the unmodded. Instead, you went and limited comments severly to try to get rid of trolls but that just hurts real (or potential) real users and makes most say 'fuck it'. You took away everything that makes people stay but did nothing to deter people trolling the site. Simple curiosity about what is in the unmodded section will draw and keep more gold subscibers than yanking away profile pics will. There is free image hosting and messaging apps, ya know. It's too easy to get around that yet also too annoying to have to get around it to keep new users interested. Use your fucking head for something other than hat rack, bud. You have a potential moneymaker but you are throwing it away with every stupid choice you make.

          You are a fucking idiot, no pun intended.

            I didn't get rid of profile pics because it's hard or expensive, but because it was abused and I'm sick of seeing dick & gore pics while cleaning them up. It's a choice I made, and I'm sorry that you're suffering because of it, but that's just how it's going to be.

              Oh for fucks sake, the whole time I have been here I never saw one single dick pic. Not saying none existed, just saying it's never been a goddamn epidemic worthy of altering the site over.

              I'm not suffering over it, I'm just saying it makes you and your forum look stupid and is one less reason for new or potential or any good users to stay. If the "problem" is as you say, with explicit pics (and who cares, you're supposed to be 18+ to use this site anyway), why not do the easier and more fair thing and ban that user or put in stronger troll guards, ban specific users who break the rules or are too offensive? Instead you punish all good users and yet do nothing to stop the troll issue. Sooooooo fucking simple to just require email verification and would cut out a lot of trolling and by cutting that out, you keep good users and lose a lot of the problems. Is this not obvious? How fucking dumb are you? Are you trying to win the award for most potential wasted on a single website? You fucking dumbass, wake up.

            • LOL, fair point. But why not only allow users with high karma to upload pics? Of course, you'd have to figure out how to throw out all the multi-account trolls upvoting each other. It was never like this a few years ago, what changed? Can't you just put in email verification?

        Not saying I'm right but I don't see how trolling him, even if it is the only way to get a response, will get him to want to take whoever is trolling him seriously?

          Yes, this is the policy we've had here on IIN for many years. I've tried to be as pro free speech as I possibly can. But, these topics are being posted about way too often, and in an extremely repetitive way. The questions have been asked and answered many times over now and it's become disruptive. They're also very disturbing topics to many people and lead to heated bickering all over the site. Additionaly, I think the vast majority of people posting about that stuff know it's not normal already. They're looking for validation, and I don't think we should give it to them anymore.

          The only thing I have to say about those topics is that people who do that shit are wrong. There are too many fucked up people on the planet.

            Posting a topic doesn't mean you're a perpetrator of those things. What about victims or someone who thinks they've seen something going on?
            Censoring topics makes me think of the Thought Police or Ministry of Truth.

            • We are talking about people who claim to perpetrate those things, not the subject in general.

              What about victims? If you actually cared about victims you'd realise it can be pretty painful for them to have to see these idiots make posts casually encouraging people to rape children.

              It's not censoring or you 1984 bullshit. If you want to hear about people raping children then go to 4chan, NAMBLA, your own thoughts, or better yet the "ministry of love" which is known in reality as the (action) police department.

              Well, I do think you're right about victims, but the problem is that most of the time it's trolls or possible perpetrators posting on here.

              I still think people who do that stuff or who like to fantasize about that stuff are messed up.

          did you change the site rules? because there are some things that are against it that you now approve of, why is that? And how come we can't effectively report certain users for breaking the rules?
