I prefer nearly unmoderated sites where one can express oneself freely. I think most anything goes including racist, sexist, and homophobic material with the only exceptions made for stuff that is disgusting, illegal, or harmful.

@ClanNaFiacaillApWythe This site is pretty nearly unmoderated then, unfortunately. Way too much of that stuff slips through, with droves of support from other sickos. It's kind of depressing.

@BigAssLeech Could you give an example? I don;t like the talk about but sex as that is gross. I don;t like death threats either, but other than those things am not that concerned.

@ClanNaFiacaillApWythe There are plenty of extremely harmful fetishes that people love to post about here. One being wanting to become obese or wanting others to become obese. That's essentially a suicide mission. Holding in urine is another, which obviously leads to horrendous infections. There's plenty that goes entirely unchecked.

@BigAssLeech they are working new key words into the filters
and they have been on top of complaints by flagging
Members were asked about allowing adult content and they wanted it
but the Admins here know what happened to EP
They won't allow that here
If members want a porn site ,then they should go to a porn site
Here they agreed to the TOS
As the site grows ,the TOS will get updated too .I am sure filters will stop a lot more stuff
We are also a members self policing site (the flags )
As more and more content is flagged ,that lets Admin know the pulse of the site ,,when more and more of it is flagged ,they will know members have had enough of it ,
But a lot of members won't report it ,they just block them
and leave it for someone else ,,and they lose their voice when they had a chance to use it

You've made some very valid points. However, almost everything that I get a response from that I have flagged in earnest, is almost always in response to a damn good flagging I had conducted as much as 9 months prior to a moderator's eventual response back to me!
In some cases I am sure, the offending troll had already retired from his post here, got the gold watch and then died of natural causes months before even being reprimanded by the site gestapo!
And here I thought satellite internet was the epitome of communications latency![/c]

@swirlie They have picked up the pace considerably in recent months
new filters have been added .new key words
and its not taking 9 months to get a response anymore especially when its from several members that have earned a good reputations here ,I have seen an offensive post flagged by certain members removed within hours .
I have also seen other members posting that items have been removed within hours of reporting them ,so as I said ,the response time is much better recently .
But community reputations also goes a long way here too (as promised when we opened )Members that get along well with others ,they don't have a ton of people blocking them, nor have they blocked a large number of members themselves ,
that alone uses a lot of resources scanning every post you make and reply to seeing if you have someone blocked or if they have blocked you blocked
it also helps increase you're reputation when do flag someone that everything you flag turns out to be legit .its not just over something petty or that you couldn't have resolved it by backing out of the conversation or using the block feature and admit that you and that member just can't see eye to eye ,so take a time out ,,[b]but no[/b] ,certain people flag every post "they deem rude and offensive to them ,or they see as "child abuse" like the topic of religion for instance and then there is politics ,another hot topic here .
As I said I was a volunteer for Ep with some inside help ,actually a lot of inside help ,especially after we exposed some of the Ep's that were not so trust worthy and they abused their power ,
Some of us had the workings of EP down to a science , and better yet
the powers that be ,knew who we were ,
But knowing the TOS like a bible helped a lot too .
Here I was warned about bogus flagging when I used the flag feature ,but it was a Mod not Admin that warned me ,,the things I flagged should have been handled ,when grown men are talking sex acts with a 13 yr old ,He should have been terminated ,but he wasn't even warned ,I was
But things have changed and now they are getting better
It did take many months to respond to my original flags
That's not the case any longer .
and I always make screen shots .I always have the option to appeal and send in the evidence
I am sure my reputation is a lot higher now
and things are running smoother ,now they have time to go after the members that think "screw theses rules ,they don't apply to me "
I can already see by the warning labels on profiles "this member has been warned " and accounts better verified
Soon they will be able to block IP addresses if they can't already
then that will end the fake accounts too ,,once they ban you
you stay banned ,then they can send a message along with the original post and the links to the post that's been reported
"This type of post is no longer acceptable ,you have been banned without any further notice ..here is a copy of the TOS you agreed to
and a copy of the reasons we reached this decision
So be patient ,we have came a long way in a short time
Ep didn't get better ,it steadily got worse .I know ,I wore out over a 100 people doing our best to save the site ,you see how that went
SW is getting better .thats not just my opinion

Wow! I'm impressed with your detailed handling of my comments to you! As well, your response was the longest, most intelligent response I have probably ever received back from someone here at SW or from EP.
Thank you for responding to my query as quickly and as detailed as you have taken the time to highlight the not-so-obvious facts for me.
Much appreciated!
