8 months agoI ran a forum with 30k active users before saying F that. One thing I learned during that adventure is that you can’t force people to behave the way you want. It doesn’t matter what you type, the up/down votes will mean exactly what the user wants. Trying to force conformity or censoring their contributions (down votes) will only end in frustration and lower user count.
tldr: Your team is behaving like it’s their first moderating experience.
Just when I think all cocks have been blocked someone creates a new cock-mmunity that’s even stranger. lol
Sometimes, a NSFW post that fits the community description perfectly is just low brow trash, lacks any kind of creativity, or is a picture so poorly taken it deserves a down vote. It’s not just people being petty, it often is, but not always. How does a community police itself if the only means we have are to report to a mod?
