Attention REGULARS!!!!

Are you noticing too many smutty questions that all seem to be coming from the same source?

This site is not evolving in the way that I had envisioned it & that's for sure.

It used to be informative,funny & useful,now every second question is trash posted by trash.

I think the only way we can stop it is by ignoring it.

By answering the garbage we are only giving them the satisfaction they are seeking.

What do you think? Do you agree?

I totally agree. I have said that before. If no one answers these Questions, they will go away. By answering, they keep coming back for more. We need to ignore those questions.

Press your report abuse button, the system operators take us seriously and you will see the “404” pop up when they blow them away. Report abuse and lets not dwell on their childishness.

Ignoring may work but "report abuse" should definitely work. I don't know how long that takes to work and I know that at least once, I have reported abuse and what happened? Nothing! Not only that but there were new people coming on here and getting raunchier and raunchier. I got out! (P.S. The question was still on here the next morning.)

Welcome back my dear! I hope you didn't suffer any damage in your blackout.

Thanks Tommy, no major damage, just one window. I'll post pictures tomorrow of what my street looked like after the storm past.

Commented 13 years ago

Bob/PKB

Thank you for bringing up this disconcerting fact! Many times I have reported abuse when those questions come into my line of vision.
In response to the response time, I've seen it happen in less than one minute. Sometimes it takes longer, and sometimes the question doesn't get removed.
It seems to me that reporting abuse is the surest way to get the questions off the rotation. It may be that a warning of some sort could be sent to the questioner's home site?
Sometimes it is hard to ignore the questions when my brain comes up with a snap answer, but I can control myself and just report the abuse.

So now we see the value of collectively saying No. Just type some gibberish to get it off the main page and we are done with it . Works for me .

I want to say that I'm sorry to any of you that I may offended with my words today with the person who was on this site under two different aliases and possibly 3. I could have kept my mouth shut but, I've kept my mouth shut most of my life and today was just not a day where I felt like cowering down to another bully. I hope you all will forgive me because I love you guys and it would hurt me to think that I upset any of you. (*~*)

Hi Jenn, I'm a moderator too. I try to keep things as clean as I can. When I see em, I delete them too. I can't be on line as much as Colleen and don't have more than one computer. It's all I can do to answer questions and keep the trash out at the same time. yvonne57

I know you are also a modrater.. I didnt mean to make it sound like I forgot about you.. You do an excellent job... But things slip by with the both of you doing the job let alone you trying to caught it all by yourself.. And Colleen obviously never sleeps.. You are very appriciated!

As a unified group saying No has more power than we can imagine. When the banks here said they were going to charge 5.00 fee on the debit cards ,many said No and left the bank. The protest was overwhelming that the banks backed off and changed there thinking. When will we learn that we control every thing simply by collectively saying NO together. We can set the price of everything at the super market by simply saying No .

There are many people here that have expertise in various fields.Some things that present themselves as problems to a layman can be explained easily by one of these experts.My own background is in the building industry,so when one of those questions arises I do my best to explain it.Others are very knowledgable in other areas,Dogs,cats,cooking cars,what have you & that kind of explains where I saw the site going. NOT "How many time a night do you have sex" & that sort of rubbish.While it might be a bit of fun for a while,is it really helping anybody? That is also how I saw the site "evolving".Helping & being helped.

Tommyh I love the word evolving. Could you say more about your vision. Because that's is how i feel. That this site will evolve into something even greater than it is already. Wonder how it will evolve? I love it. If i was psychic i could see more. But i don't have time to really think about it that much.

I have said this before but it may be worth repeating. I really think that we should be reporting these vile individuals...those who swear, call people names, ask pornographic questions, etc. My thinking...use the button and use it every time...REPORT ABUSE...REPORT ABUSE..REPORT ABUSE...click it...it's easy and most of the time, it works quickly. I don't think that we need to wait for Colleen to do it, do we?

I agree with you Tommy - the other night - some guy called "samme" i believe posted a question about Danish language - not here it would seem any longer but an American told him something the only thing that sticks in my mind is you BRITISH bastard - nowhere did it say his nationality and this British referral is rascist - I am truly offfended . saddened and amazed by some of the things I read on this site and have never met any Americans so narrcissistic obviously I missed these ones fortunately, in the name of God they should get REAL.
