I Want to Improve the Experience Project

EP Needs To Make Immunization Of Restored Content Finally Work

Just days ago SammiSakura complained here about a story of hers that was flagged off the site, appealed successfully, and then flagged off the site yet again. <a href="http://www.experienceproject.com/stories/Want-To-Improve-The-Experience-Project/5097267" target="ep_blank">EP Link</a>

We have been promised that content that has been restored on appeal will be immunized against further robo-deletions by malicious members, but I have yet to see any evidence that this has happened.

I have previously written stories in this group on this topic at <a href="http://www.experienceproject.com/stories/Want-To-Improve-The-Experience-Project/4346332" target="ep_blank">EP Link</a> and at <a href="http://www.experienceproject.com/stories/Want-To-Improve-The-Experience-Project/4598636." target="ep_blank">EP Link</a> I have a story that has twice been robo-deleted, appealed, and then restored on appeal. It was robo-deleted by my malicious enemy (who is one of the commenters on the story) a third time on July 16. I of course appealed it immediately, but I also asked on July 25 at the second of my stories linked here that EP bypass the appeals process and restore the story immediately in view of its having been cleared twice. EPArsineh assured me that she had put the EP engineering team on the matter.

Months have passed, and I have found plenty else to be busy with. I have never heard back from EP about the matter, either in my email box or my personal messages at my EP profile. I have thoroughly checked both to make sure. I note that this is happening to one of EP's paying members.

I request that the story be restored immediately on the basis of its already having been cleared on appeal twice, a fact which I can readily document if it is needed.

At <a href="http://www.experienceproject.com/stories/Want-To-Improve-The-Experience-Project/5085616" target="ep_blank">EP Link</a>, one of EP's teen members plaintively asked : "Why does my content keep getting removed? Even the ones about depression....." She also is suffering from robo-deletion of non-violating content by malicious flaggers, and has also suffered repeat robo-deletion of the same story. The ability of members to delete other members' content at will with no prior review by EP staff has brought immense needless and undeserved pain to rules-abiding EP members. Ending this ability is the right thing to do.

When I came here it was because I was told it was THE best place to share in an unrestricted range of life experiences and to give and receive help and advice: it seems I was either badly misinformed or this site is not as it once was.
Before making any decision about whether or not to attempt to share any of my experiences I have spent time looking around the site, and I'm not liking much of what I've found.
I have already seen and commented upon a post that would appear to suggest that EP only permits the sharing of life experiences that fall within a range that THEY deem SUITABLE, with anything else from real life that falls outside that range seeming to 'Disappear', either through so called 'malicious flagging' or by stealth removals carried out by self-appointed vigilantes within the ranks of EP staff.
After reading through the details of the instance that Angelsvengeance has mentioned, it seems like this site operates a system where the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.
If a story was removed and then reinstated after being reviewed and found NOT to breach EP's own standards, that SHOULD have been an end to it.
For a member of EP staff to then high-handedly expel a member on the grounds that the very same story DID breach those exact same standards was despicable, and was, to me at least, far worse than any example of malicious flagging.
I cannot help but wonder if the person who carried out the flagging was/is a friend of the staff member concerned and the expulsion had nothing whatsoever to do with the merits of the story in question, and everything to do with their friend telling them to get rid of someone they had decided they did not like, for whatever reason.
If EP condone cyber-bullying, or, worse still, actively encourage it, as it seems happened in that case, this site is doomed.
