Welcome to Gaia! ::

Strange after all these years someone says that Gaia should ban images in the GD forum.
I wonder why Gaia has not thought of that after all these years?

Then again the forums are one of the less important parts of the website at the moment I would say since it is far much more important to upgrade facebook connect and make new cash shop items then worry about the old GD.

Then again I would say that the staff of Gaia do not want to upset the GD forum users since I think that I saw before that quite alot of users in the GD buy Cash Shop items and why would you want to upset a main profit source?


I will say though that any kind of naked images of someone 13 and up are something which I really do not care if I see or not since I see it as no big deal.
This is mostly because I do not care if a see porn images but I do care if a see really horrible shock images like a nail being hammered into a p***s or a brain coming out a skull after the person has been shot.

The main thing though is that nothing ever happens to the GD forum and no idea ever happens either.
I know that the forum fairy asked the GD forum users if they wanted their forum to be cut in two some time ago but I think most users just said "Leave the GD alone" and of course the forum fairy came back was all nice and tryed to kiss the GDs butt in her final reply.


I think that the staff of Gaia are afraid of the GD forum.
I mean you never see any devs reply in a topic about the GD forum now do you?
I respect this is because if a staff member does come along and agree with a GD forum clean up idea, then that staff member would get spammed with insults, porn and shock images from GD forum users.

Actually most trolls seem to last for more time in the Chatterbox since it moves so fast and also because the topic creator normally deletes the trolls post before it gets reported.
Also from what I have seen before when someone posts a random naked image or something, Chatterbox users normally just come along and post some witty reply to it to look funny.

This is bull s**t. If they are its pathetic. Baw some life-less 16 year old insulted me and sent me pictures. crying Get the ******** over it. They can disable their PM's and comments just like the rest of us. On top of that the Developers and Administrators are ADULTS they should ******** act like it and grow a goddamned back bone. >_<

They have no problem standing up for s**t we DIDN'T want, but got stuck with any way. This is just the same.

Fin (the CEO) actually posts there to ask questions occasionally. It's interesting. lol

And devs never speak in posts like this because when they do, their words are taken ex cathedra, basically the word of God. And I have seen admins post in GD-related threads. Either way, if they think they need to make a decision, they will, and posts here won't be necessary.

The rest of your post is based on your wild assumption. You should amend it.

You don't see dev replies in MOST topics. That doesn't mean they're afraid of various video game/television program fans, or different cultures or the kids who want an interest-earning bank. And accusing anyone of cowardice is not likely to sway them to see your side of any situation. neutral

On-Topic: I'm against this idea, simply because it will cause a mass exodus of the porn/gore trolls to other forums. Moderation really isn't that effective as it is and in the end we'd probably see images disabled all over the site, which I do not want.

Dont like. If someone wanted to create a nice discussion topic with a banner and all, they'd be incapable of doing so. I think it honestly needs to be moderated more, but for that to happen we need to report these things more.

_________________________
There are no "nice discussion topics" in the GD. People who want to actually have a discussion go to the ED. I agree with the OP.

You obviously dont look or come at really bad times. I've been part of many, many good discussions in the GD. The ED on the other hand, tends to ignore a lot of discussions.

SAME! I have been in nice topics in the CB...
How bout we just have a ban hammer fest and ban people who over step the user agreement?

Hop to mule, keep posting whatever, wherever. Ban averted. It'd be playing whack-a-troll.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. This along with what has been said in my thread I think would work very well, do you mind if I amend my thread with your idea?

There's really nothing to say that hasn't already been said. The SF topics about GD haven't changed over the past couple of years.

They do have spines. The GD has a rather large moderator team. They know what they were getting into before volunteering to work that place. The idea that you think they are spineless and afraid of the users is honestly laughable.
And probably a bit insulting to the mod team.

Tough. The Gd as it stands needs to have it's users reined in and taught that just because they like to do something doesn't mean that they are going to be allowed to. Gaia not enforcing that is what lead to this problem int he first place.

Further more if the Admins ever do get around to actually splitting the GD into two forums, one for actual GD and one for the users who like to troll and be 'prommies' then the image banning would stick with the later and not the former meaning the good discussion that wants a banner could have it, so long as they went to the new GD.


@ boldend: this is for the chatterbox. A split-off is not needed for that reason.

What I think is that there should be some sort of a coded program that dissallows certain types of pics. Unfortunately, it does not exist anywhere on the internet.
All we can do is keep on reporting that stuff. This a PG-13 site. Not an X.

Don't tell me, tell the admins, I stated that back when they posted the poll asking users if they wanted a split or a single forum. But after arguing for well over 100 pages, it became clear that it was either take the split or spend who knows how long trying to convince the admins of a solution to fix the GD. The split won in the poll and the admins said they were going to do it, but two years down the road action has not been taken. In the end most of us were just happy that our GD might be coming back rather than caring about the admins wanting to create a second CB to appease the GD trolls.

Considering I'd been spouting the idea of two week lock outs for the GD since June, feel free to add this to your list of good ideas.

CP in this case is anyone under the age of 18 posting nude pictures of themselves.

So just because they aren't readily recognizable as a child doesn't mean it isn't still illicit.
