This I wanted the ADMIN to see and answer about this rule.
So, I do posts about people being jerks to me and there’s this rule that says I cannot talk negatively about users.
Can you guys give your opinions about this rule?
I’ll change my posts so that it follows this rule but why can’t I bring up that users aren’t perfect? I might have not worded this correctly and I’m sorry for this but I want to know why can’t I expose users that have been (in my eyes) unfair to me?

I’ve have currently come to the conclusion that I’ll just remove my posts as reporting may be the best option, thank you guys for your help and I’ll just say that I wouldn’t delete them yet but just remove them.
You can tell me why I shouldn’t but I think you guys are just right

Now that you've had some distance, what is your feeling about this?

I think that calling something "unfair" is a judgment call; but we ought to be allowed to call attention to facts (i.e., quoted/photographed exchanges) and let others draw their own conclusions.

Here’s all the people I’ve have talked to and deleted our DM/PM
You can tell me what you think about this
Wedgy · 31-35, F
@KiwiBird Yeah, I did just in case you could see my DMs/PMs which might not be the best thing to do
KiwiBird · 36-40, F
@Wedgy The link directed you to DM's that I had archived not yours....so made no sense anyway.
Wedgy · 31-35, F
@KiwiBird Eh, just in case they change it for some reason
Hi. I love chatting about wedgies and doing roll play if you would like to message me
Doesn't it just perpetuate the constant arguing and carry on to bring it out into the public, because then others will feel the need to get involved and this site at times already resembles a school yard.
@Wedgy I understand what you are saying but it's actually not possible. So many different people, with different values, ideals, not everyone will thank you for it. So the rules are there to ensure a baseline for expected behaviour from everyone.
Wedgy · 31-35, F
@StormInaTeacup I also understand what you’re saying but literally anything you could possibly do and someone is not going to like it.
I do think rules obviously should be there to help us maintain good behaviour but others will break those rules and what will happen to everyone else who doesn’t know any better to see which users are bad or good? I guess I could report them, would you agree with that option?
@Wedgy the report option is there if you feel a user is harassing or breaking the TOS.

Can you imagine what this place would be like if they allowed that. Yikes. It would be filled with those ticked off at others and name calling/bad mouthing. Calling others out publicly, at the core is really just trying to get others to jump on the bandwagon or sympathize, tbh.

It's really between those two people and no-one else. It should be handled in private and reported.

@Magenta yes this 200% Magenta
Miram · 31-35, F
why not just confront the cunts without getting others involved?

Unless it requires public attention.
Wedgy · 31-35, F
@Miram when they had me they ban me I can’t go to their account at all, it’s almost like they aren’t even on the site to me
Miram · 31-35, F
@Wedgy Report them dude.
Wedgy · 31-35, F
@Miram Yes, but what about everyone else?
What about the people that will have similar experiences as I do?
Gangstress · 41-45, F
That pisses me off. Yet its ok. For the twats to shout out the people they like.
That's why I try not to get involved in posts like that. Cliques as well in here are rife.

@Gangstress This is the flip side and I tend to agree with it too.

The best way to avoid all that is to concentrate ONLY on those whom you get along with.

We all have a few on here that we would love to tell them to cram it, but it is wasted time. Tempting as it may be, it is best to say, "You know what? Screw this" and then find a different conversation on here.

Maybe it is easier for me because there are very few on here that I have interacted with more than just causal chat on threads. A lot of love for a few instead of a little love for many.

Does it matter why? Their site, their rules. None of the rules they come up with are just for shits and giggles, it's done to make the site easier for them to run and better for the users. if I was to hazard a guess I'd say it's partly to stop loads of he said she said type posts with people airing their crap publicly
Bushmanoz · 61-69, M
@Wedgy What is it you are hoping ADMIN will do? The main problem with public shaming is there is no way to police it, with a few seconds of picture editing anyone could make it look like the other person said anything at all. The only thing that works is reporting, then Admin has access to the posts and messages and can see if it warrants any action
Wedgy · 31-35, F
@Bushmanoz I see what you mean but I have though to link my DMs/PMs and that you can see for yourself if they should be called out.
It would just be that one DM/PM about my experience with them with no editing their and also what about sites like Twitch? How many message of Alinity did it take for Twitch to finally speak?
Bushmanoz · 61-69, M
@Wedgy No idea about Twitch, I use this and that's it. But do you mean you want to post one screen shot of their message with their user name showing? I don't think people will care as much as you think. Especially if it's over someone simply messaging you when you asked them not to. id personally like to save reporting for other things, like the unsolicited dick pics, the pedophiles, and the people who harass others
I see posts about other people all time on here. Never even knew about this rule 🤷‍♀️
@JimboSaturn nah, you just get too emotionally attached ya gotta be hard like me 💁‍♀️😜🤣
Wedgy · 31-35, F
@JimboSaturn I’ve been kind of called out by the messages of this post and so I’ve removed (not deleted) the post I had of calling out people by showing their names
Wedgy · 31-35, F
@SweetNSassy lol, we got a badass over here! 😆
nedkelly · 61-69, M
I have NO COMMENT to make on ADMIN as it will be reported quicker than the flash or superman
Wedgy · 31-35, F
@nedkelly Well, if ADMIN or anyone reports this then that’s just silly to me. Why can’t they discuss it to me like all these fine people on my post right now?
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
One thing I would never do is post someone's DM to me, I consider and messages to me private.

@ChemDawg same Rooster
Wedgy · 31-35, F
@ChemDawg Could you give some examples of what people would do to
“take advantage”?
I would say now that maybe you shouldn’t be too much of a jerk if you wanted to call someone out, but to not call out anyone at all is just a strange rule to me. I would be fine to change my posts a bit if it’s just to be more respectful

@updown2020 It goes against the Terms of service to cut and paste a conversation if it shows the other members name
