Fuck what the rules say. The speed limit may say 35 mph, but the actual speed of traffic is going 45. The rules don't mean shit. Especially when we have an absentee moderator who doesn't give a rat's ass. People on here have the biggest sticks up their asses I've ever seen. And..It's not about comedy? It seems to me that even the people who post real stories often try to make them pretty funny. What about people's user names? Are those not based in comedy? Certainly not Anonymous-Poll-Creator. That's for sure. But half of the others are. Excuse me sir, but you don't know what you're talking about.
Your the one who doesn't know what you are talking about which is why your response makes no sence. The rules say the stories must be true, it doesn't say the user names must be real names. So the correlation you are trying to draw there simply doesn't exist.
I never said the stories are not allowed to be funny, I said the stories are supposed to be true. You are complaining about your troll posts being taken down. Troll posts are generally not true stories, and they don't get a pass under the rules simply for being funny. The rules allow funny stories as long as they are true. But the stated purpose of the website says nothing about humor being the sites purpose.
Also, it is funny to me that you complain about an absentee moderator when your complaing about your posts being moderated off the site. If the moderator was absentee, your stories would never be taken down. It seems like your real issue is not that the moderator is absentee, but that you simply don't agree wirh their decosions. But its not your site it's theirs, if you don't like it, too bad.
But you made my whole point when you said at the very beginning "fuck the rules". You don't get to decide how strictly rules get enforced. If you break a rule, and you know you are breaking a rule, it is silly to sit there and whine about it.
I have broke the rules myself many times myself, and I have enjoyed a few post's that broke the rules. The difference is I understand the possible coniquences of my actions, and so I don't whine when something gets taken down. I also don't try to justify my own bull shit by saying I'm better than some other trolls cause I am funny and not mean.
All I am saying is we are adults here and we should act that way. If you break tje rules and you get caught, don't whine like a child, suck it up like an adult.
When did I ever say that the names have to be real? And also I told you that even though there are rules, it's obvious that a large faction of people aren't interested in following them. The moderator is absentee, so it's left up to a handful of very uptight regular users to regulate the site by constantly thumbing people down and reporting posts for reasons that are often against the rules. That's why I say fuck the rules; because they went out the window a long time ago.
I think people on this site should stop being so uptight all the time and accept that there are going to be trolls and users that they may find offensive, but that doesn't mean they should gang up and go around reporting and abusing the comment karma system. The only action that should be taken is against the spammers of the site. If other users want to speak their mind in the comments section and post a couple fake stories once in a while then what's the difference?
Probably most people go on here because it's more entertaining and interactive than tv. God help them if they actually come in here for advice pertaining to their problems.
I know you didn't say the names have to be real, that is exactly why your comparison doesn't work. You said if the stories can't be funny, then why can the screen names be funny? What I said was the stories can be funny, they just have to be true. That is why your comparison doesn't work.
What you explained about moderation is wrong. The stories are not moderated by a few regulars. You clearly don't understand how this works so I will explain it. If enough users report a post it is not removed, it just goes to awaiting moderation. While it is there, you can't see it on the list, but it is still active, and the OP can access it from their profile. After a couple days or so, a moderator reviews the post. If they agree it is bad, it s deleted, if they think it is good, they return it to the top of the list. It is a moderator that makes that call, not other users.
So the only way a post can get deleted is if a moderator believes it should be. Every single user on the site can report your post, but it doesn't mean a thing if the moderator doesn't agree. You are wasting your time blaming users, the mod is making the final call, and the mod couldn't do that if they were absent. This is all explained on thr sites FAQ. Also, if users report posts and the mod disagrees and reposts it, the karma of the reporters goes down. What many OP's do though is they delete the post when it gets flagged which prevents the mod from having a chance to do their job. Of you do that, you really can't blame the mod, because you are the one that cut them out of the equation.
It doesn't matter if people are interested in following the rules or not, the site still has a right to enforce them. So like I said, if you are willfully disregarding the rules, you shouldn't be surprised when you get deleted. You know you broke a rule, so you know why you got deleted. Act like an adult and take the consequences, don't act like a child and whine.
There are a few ways to circumvent if your posts aren't going through.
If some of your posts aren't going through try creating a new account and submitting it for review.
Remember there are certain triggers that will set of the computers algorithm and reject the post. A way around this is simply ask a dumbass question you know will pass and wait until it is visible in the "newest" section, edit your post, erase that dumb question and paste your actual question or poll, etc. Always copy your post before you submit it for review.
Oh, and I'm not lying about this. If it's a borderline/reject post you can add the username "gypsysailor" anywhere in the post to increase its chances of not being rejected. Example: "Why does my cat lick it's ass? Gypsysailor"
IIN Trolls are ruining this website
