Just some observations

Some people, not everyone....

Are really sensitive. The purpose of these sites in general, are to discuss publicly and privately different aspects of life.

This site requires you choose a certain number of "forums" to give people an idea of who you are and what you are about. Further, you have the ability to fill out a profile and select topics of interest...aka what you hope to get out of your interactions here.

I truly appreciate people who are clear in their profiles as to what the want or don't want etc. No men, no humans, stay off my grass, don't talk about lawn ornaments, etc.

However some choose to not fill out a profile, and that is ok also. However, if you message someone, especially because you have a common interest they get nasty, and defensive. Mature people say please, and thank you, or the opposite...no thanks or something else.

People on here seem to do a higher degree of ghosting, or even block you for saying hello, or happy new year etc.

It would be nice if those who choose not to interact in private messaging could simply turn that feature off, and save everyone a lot of time. Or just put in your profile no private messaging.

Yes some will say that people don't read profiles, and that is true for some also, so it isn't a one size fits all situation, but being civil is not really practiced at a high level online anymore, if ever.

There are too many nasty posts directed at people over the stupidity of politics. In fact, there are too many political posts in general.

Further, saying hello doesn't imply dating. In fact, most on here are probably not dating. There seems to be a high level of men pretending to be women, and a lot of simps.

Posts are labeled mature, fetish, and sensitive, that in most cases aren't. I suspect it is simply automated to trigger on keywords, and no one running the site cares about that.

There appears to be the gauntlet of children lying about their age to see adult content. There are pictures borderline in the explicit areas. Management is allowing people to decide what is appropriate in some areas, but not others. Incest, waste fetishes, are just weird, and there seems to be a high level of toleration for that, but a high censorship rating on others.

Threatening violence should never be tolerated. Not so much on this site, but others seem to praise murderers, and support bad authoritarian governments, or even support for assassination. At least that isn't as bad here.

There is a high degree of persons threatening suicide, but they need help, and not attention.

Anyway, your mileage may vary. I am not trying to change anyone's mind just observations.

We can't turn it off! We can only filter some to our requests folder which is basically still receiving them.

Oh I have before. It does little good, most don't pay attention or care.

I don't think we should expect others to auto reply to us either. I don't have to answer my door just because someone knocks.

So what brought you here?

i would arguet the admin's overall do a great job with this site. This is a tough animal to moderate.

I always take ghosting to mean "not interested" in conversing as opposed to f-off. I feel ironically that most people are way too sensative about being ghosted --a non answer is the same as a no with less drama tha most nos

so you are a counselor that likes spanking and thinks people should be less sensative? not offended but both those feels odd. given your profession

also sorry if any typos my cat keeps crawing across my lap --love him to death but man sometimes he is a handfull (or lapfull)

This is a good point you've made 'just put in your profile no private messaging' so I'll change it temporarily, only because I have phases on SW.

I'm also terrible at describing myself, other than weird anyway. This is why I do not have any written description just videos to convey my taste in music and thoughts - such as 'Where is the love?". 😁

The purpose of this site is to make ad revenue. There is no mission statement for this place, no stated goal. If you go to the help page it references the tools they offer and how to deal with people and shows you a site map listed at the bottom of the page which is the only place you will find any organized linking for the forums. Otherwise you can choose from the random list on the lower part of the main page.

This is a place of hanging out and "talking" to whomever about whatever, as you said, to discuss publicly and privately different aspects of life. But this place has no purpose other than to be here for us all to make noise at one another. And because of its lack of direction, there is no set goal to meet. Like with instagram or tip Tok, you can make money by becoming well known. What does one get out of this place?

You cannot expect much from strangers online no matter how much you wish. In these times, online is more superficial. Angry. Uncaring. You are old enough to realize this. A good way to meet good people is in person in your locale. Make friends. Have fun. Explore common interests. You cannot change people. You can only change yourself.

I happen to enjoy reading posts about politics. A LOT. This is a major political turning point for our nation. I am deeply interested in political outcomes.

I suggest that if you don't like all of the sorts of post you listed above, you stop reading them.

@4meAndyou why didn't I think of that

Your observation is 100 percent correct.
yeah the ones that really get me are the posts with explicit nudes or even any nude at all. because of course children are going to lie about their age and see them
