About that "Moderated by you" thing

[IllustriousPotentate]

I realize and appreciate our new user post page, I really do. I think it's a great way for flash artists to keep in touch with their fans, cut down on BBS spammy "blog-style" threads, and to let users express their ideas.

But we don't need this.

Especially 1 click away from the front page.

Whenever you give any e-power to a group of horny 13 year olds, there's going to be abuse, of course.

But if stuff like this isn't illegal, then it is on the borderline, and it is only a matter of time before something illegal is posted.

There obviously has to be a limit. Why not have a whistle system in place, like the portal? There needs to be something, because NG has the potential to get into some big trouble allowing it's users to post any image they want, without any sort of review.

Your thoughts?

No post like that exists, it says.

He's deleted it.

What was in the post? >_<

All Gone.

You must've missed the news post last month in which some ground rules were established for user pages (e.g. no uploading porn).

It was a photograph of a person putting one of his more intimate areas into the mouth of an ostensibly live raccoon.

I wonder how it was deleted so rapidly? Hopefully, other similar images that aren't linked directly to the front page are dealt with just as swiftly.

it says it's been deleted.

No, I saw those rules. However, it seemed to me that there wasn't much of a way to report abuse--although judging by the swiftness with which this was deleted, perhaps there is?

[Fluffington]

I dunno, I hate the "no porn" rule

I'm not sure that any mods have any jurisdiction over user pages. I might be wrong, of course, but it would be nice to know where abuse of this nature can be reported.

We have nothing to do with moderating userpages.

User pages are only moderated by the user, and the admins.

Then PM an admin.

I mean, that's pretty obvious, but it also seems to lackadaisical and inefficient. Imagine PMing an Admin, rather than blowing the whistle, on unsuitable flash.

But will they do anything.
