Why dont trust the mods anymore : it is not possible to filter all stupid comments , some always slip out of the net
My loss of trust in the mods' judgment is based on a number of things, not just the way this comment quality filter is rolling out. I had a temporary mod attack me on another forum thread and then I had a private exchange with a mod whom I trusted and respected that altered my trust in his judgment for the worse. It didn't offend me personally, but it caused me to not trust their judgment.
That's all. But, it doesn't matter. Until GWM is no longer the best option for FBBs on the WWW, I'll keep coming here. I just won't participate as much as I otherwise would. No biggy.
Must we all write like Zarklephaser4 for our comments to be accepted?
No offence Zee, but we're not all university graduates. I think first reactions are more authentic (a simple "wow" should be tolerated). I thought this site was created for female muscle fans - it seems not!
Not allowing compliments, why was that a good idea again? It's like every pic had hundreds of similar and debatedly pointless comments before the "filter" - that was never the case. I really don't understand the problem this filter is trying to solve.
It always makes me laugh in these threads when someone claims to know more than someone else, and goes into great pointless detail to try to prove their point. I have got much better things to do.
Didn't expect an academic discussion on philosophy in this thread. Never got past Hume in my last class, I'm afraid. Almost minored in it, but didn't want to doom myself to a career in academia.
No. In a dialectic the whole point of the exercise is to wield power by setting the terms of the struggle. This is exactly what I was referring to and the link only confirms my understanding. It is in effect saying that you, as a participant in the struggle, are foolish and immature if you stick to the side assigned to you but smart and prudent if you work towards the predetermined middle way.
It's a method of ruling, not a method of arriving at a truth. This is the whole point of Hegel's Phänomenologie and what confuses people about it is that you are supposed to simultaneously get and not get the same thing and choose to enter an imaginary reality where everything is a dialectic. Not knowing that you can also choose to not enter it.
The mean, hateful and disrespectful comments are not a problem because there's nobody arguing for them and technically everyone knows how to deal with them. In other words, use the report button and let the moderators handle it.
But you are using it as a red herring anyway.
Yeah. Everything is an opinion. And everything is just an interpretation.
But that's just your opinion and your interpretation. I disagree with it.
I'd MUCH rather scroll past a short, silly comment than have to put up with somebody's PhD thesis on short, silly comments taking up ridiculous amounts of real estate in a thread.

Are you conflating "false dialectic" and "fake dichotomy?"

By calling it "whataboutism" it sounds like you want to dismiss what I'm saying.

I am not using my concern as a red herring to "boing."
But you are using it as a red herring anyway.
We can only speak for ourselves.
Yeah. Everything is an opinion. And everything is just an interpretation.
But that's just your opinion and your interpretation. I disagree with it.
What I have been doing here is trying to help those able and willing to understand it.
I don't need explaining to. I understand it. I'm expressing my opinion, as we're wont to do on these forums. I think that it's presumptuous to think that you speak for the admin or mods. You're simply stating your interpretation of what is going on. We can only speak for ourselves.
Of course it is possible to try to convince the admins and moderators to change their approach.
I'm not trying to do that. I'm just stating my opinion as a longtime fan of this website.
I see there also an attempt to set up a false dialectic.
The real question is if the comments could or should serve a useful purpose or be simply a place for primitive reactions. The fake dichotomy is between mean and plain inane primitive reactions. You're all wasting your time by again and again trying to have a different conversation.

My concern is that the comment filter will hinder the useful purpose that many comments serve for me, which is that I like to utilize the comments search function in order to find specific phrases (attributes of FBBs that I find attractive).
That is called whataboutism. "What we are doing to our children is not the problem. Baby seals being clubbed to death is the problem."
By calling it "whataboutism" it sounds like you want to dismiss what I'm saying. I did not bring it up to dismiss the issue that some people have with the "boings" -- I am not using my concern as a red herring to "boing." I am just stating my opinion. Take it or leave it. I don't care. To reiterate my opinion, if we're going to police language, then being disrespectful, hateful, and mean towards the FBBs featured on this website are more concerning to me than someone saying "boing," though it could be argued that "boing" is being disrespectful, I suppose. That's just my opinion. But, I don't run this website. I fully understand that my concern here does not negate the concern about the "boings."
I have heard that there are some very smart people who are capable of being aware of two different problems simultaneously.
This is the silliest thing I have read on this site. Isn't complaining about comments like "whoa" or some other random monosyllabic response the same "reaction policing" and "attitude policing"??
Again, you are insufferable.
No. Any disagreement about any reaction is not reaction policing or attitude policing. Especially not when there are other reasons that have been clearly stated again and again.
It is reaction policing and attitude policing when it only and purely tells someone how he should feel or think about something.
"Just don't be annoyed." "Just don't feel like you have wasted your time."
To ignore something means that you do not react to it. To ignore something does not mean that there is no time wasted. To tell people to ignore comments is not some wise and prudent advice that would solve the problem once and for all for everyone, but a form of reaction policing and attitude policing.

Comments are a place to sound off how you feel or think about a particular image/clip
Except when admins and moderators don't think so.
I find it even a little bit frustrating that people don't seem to get it that the decision has already been made. Now people can either understand why it has been made or submit to it without understanding why. What I have been doing here is trying to help those able and willing to understand it.
Of course it is possible to try to convince the admins and moderators to change their approach. But twenty people saying the exact same thing, namely that they feel like they and everyone else should be able to post their burps and farts and that everyone else can and should just walk around it clearly is not making the case.

I think that the more serious issue isn't the "boings" or other vapid comments, but rather the comments that disrespect or insult the women on this website.

I hope that this filter does improve the comment sections the way Chainer wants it to, but I think it's going to do more harm than good. For example, it could make comment word searches less useful because just posting "baseball bicep" might not be acceptable anymore. I could be wrong. I hope that I'm wrong.

All the kids here would get in trouble lol

Soon the mods are going to make us show our papers when we visit the site ... LOL
I'm kidding, but I don't trust the judgment of the moderators here anymore.

"Amazing pecs, so beautiful! Nice angle too."
Got rejected.

I just didn't feel like continuing the discussion.
Not a big fan of Hegel. Agree with Kierkegaard's critique of him. But, I digress.
Take care!
—I'm standing about ten feet away from you.
—No! I am standing ten feet away from you!!!
I disagree.
100% agree. Every post is TLDR;
Neat, thanks.
I agree, but one is being banned and the other isn't.
