2 suggestions to gfy admins - GoFuckYourself.com

mineistaken · 10-01-2012, 07:35 AM

1. "report post" button - very useful, not only for bad posts, but for things like huge signatures (recent mini drama).

2. prefix for main forum threads - "biz" and "OT". All threads will be in the same main forum but people could filter if they want to read only biz threads, or if they want to read only off topic threads.

i like the first one saves on having to send a email.

Report button sucks for board owners. All the little tattle-tells secretly abuse it, annoying the fuck out of mods/admins in the shadows with petty nonsense thinking they're helping.

B.Barnato · 10-01-2012, 07:48 AM

Every second post will be reported because someone had their feelings hurt.

VicD · 10-01-2012, 07:49 AM

biz and offtopic, or something like that sounds good to me

It would get abused. All you have to do is send an email to Theo/Eric and the problem is dealt with.

They already have different sections. Most of the whining happens in the "fucking around" section. They have another section for 'strictly business' or whatever it's called.

to keep things simple, let's only use the BIZ prefix as 99.999% if the threads are OT ;-)

mineistaken · 10-01-2012, 08:01 AM

Regarding report button abuse - you can set up a limit for number of reports per person OR ignore those who abuse it. Regarding sending email - most of the people are too lazy to work for it. For example most of them got annoyed by huge sigs, but probably neither of them bothered to write email to admins.

Regarding different sections for strictly business - as you see it does not work, most business threads are being posted in main forum. And there is no negative things about "biz" prefix. It gives added value if you want to filter through shit and adds no negative value to those that like main forum as it is, since it won't change. You can even make that prefix not visible and only work for those who want to filter threads.

My guess is... if you're not motivated enough to write an email, which takes you all of one minute, to report an abuse or someone breaking the rules. Then it's not important enough to require MOD intervention.

As for your second point. I think that most looking for BIZ ONLY and those who are actually IN this business full time moved over the XBIZ. If you look at GFY on any given day you will find the vast majority of those posting are hobbyists, beer money barons, or angry folk who washed out of the adult industry. Now they just troll this place to fill up their bitter little lives. Many have said as much.

The vast majority of those who are in this business full time readily admit they still read GFY, but no longer post or participate any longer. They have been saying this for years at the conferences, and have said this on this or other forums as well.

GFY still has it's entertainment value. But true business threads to bullshit are something like 1 in 100 or something. I do not think any sort of labeling is going to put the genie back into the bottle in that regard.

Have a report abuse button, and anyone who presses it for no good reason gets banned.

If you make a "report post" thread... People would report every thread for some imagined problem or insult.

I report this thread

SekobA · 10-01-2012, 09:42 AM

best option is "sig too big" but not sure why that do not work.

Paul Markham · 10-01-2012, 09:52 AM

But, it needs to be adjusted to limit abuse and mods need to step in with the excessive abuse from some. I have some pricks following me who do little but abuse, sick to death on the "I like poo"

As for Biz and social chat. Normally the title tells me that.

Exactly. Or just limit number of reports, say 3 reports in one month max. That would solve the problem. And no mods won't be flooded with reports that way. Plus there would be only few abusive reporters - you can easily deal with them.

Point is that you have to read through all the titles. And sometimes title does not say that as well.
Make an experiment, take first page and try to sort out biz threads. It will take you at least hundreds of seconds to determine which threads are biz. With my suggested feature it would take a second.

Not to mention "report gangs" and automated reporting reportedly used on other forums to rein in competition. Not a good move. On GFY, we've usually relied on COMMUNITY OUTRAGE to crack down on abusers.

you guys send emails to Eric about sig sizes? LOL Give me a break, if that becomes a big enough problem I am sure they will start suspending people so others get the hint if not already. If that is the worst of your problems you had a pretty good day.
I can agree with Paul about I like poo bullshit.

Yes. New rules that are not enforced are pointless. Give a few the power to report to Eric and Theo, they have to act and not say "You brought it on yourself" then elevate the best reporters to mod status.

Truth is they don't want to, thread views rule.

Oh god yes, I wish I had a forum like yours. Where you offer your content for free and get not one single response. Where the threads bumped are only bumped by you talking to yourself. And where 99% of the posts are people mocking you. And the ones that aren't mocking you, are mocking you, but you don't realise.

So so so jealous.

Why weren't you asked to contribute to the Educational Series forum? I was. My threads there have more views than every single thread in your subforum combined LOL!

Feel free to start one if you like. The last two times you tried to do that it didn't work out so good for you, but, you know, it was funny so knock yourself out.

Don't forget to mention in it you continually lying about me, saying I steal all my work, that I break the law, etc. Add in the details about you paying money to a stalking site to try and find where I live, and you posting all the google maps pics of my old flat too.

You can put it in your ebook if the thread doesn't work out too well.

Off to London now. See ya later
