Support & Games
It has come to my attention that a community on Scribbld is causing a lot of issue and I've actually suspended the account (but it's now unsuspended). Basically because we have no ToS people are pretty much free to write about and post about anything they want. Obviously that is a real issue but I've always said from day one, if you have to think twice about the content you're posting then don't post it at all. This continues to hold true and if you're submitting objectionable content, just don't. You'll probably end up getting banned or suspended.

I am not really sure what provokes people to post such mean and hateful content and as mentioned in a support ticket, I will definitely be closing this community in question if I get more complaints from users.

I personally think the community should be allowed to stay open but ONLY members of the community can participate in their little game. I believe that is what I will propose and if that rule is broken (via a user reporting it) I will close the community. I believe that is how I will handle it.

What I don't understand is why can't people just keep to themselves. Choose your friends wisely...

I will be speaking with a few other people today to get their opinions on the issue and from there we will decide on whether or not to keep the community open.

In other news....Keith came over last night and we hung out. I hooked him up with Aperture 2 and Cloverfield. makkintosshu also stopped over to drop off an Ethernet cable. we all hung out and chatted video games. As with every Tuesday night we'll be online playing Call of Duty 4 -- my gamertag is vtequine.

emilie made us a really good dinner last night, Shepards Pie. I loved it. Then we just hung out pretty much for the rest of the night.

I've also been working with Morgan and talking about a new project he's working on. More details to be revealed later :) it'll be neat though.

I finally got an S2 style I like except when I leave the comment page to be the style it looks horrid, I hate how none of the S2 stuff seems to indent or nest the comments. It's lame, but at least I like the layout...

I believe that's all I have to say for right now

	Yeah, but posting something from an f/o journal is already against flamecup's rules. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It is, but I don't think flamers give a hoot cause I see rumors take down the friend's only pics all the time and yet people still don't follow that rule. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	That doesn't mean it won't happen though. I see it happening a lot actually. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Right, but why penalize the owners of the community for that? They take it down the second they find out about it, but they can't know 100% that every flame follows the rules before it's posted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	diaochan 2008-04-08 07:35 pm UTC (link)
	No, they do not. Besides, the mods are to be held responsible since no one KNOWS who are the folks using privated pics on that community. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I have seen a case ONCE where it wasn't taken down immediately. That person is no longer a mod and publicly apologized. It's handled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Then I see no reason as to why this community should be closed. It's going to happen and there's not much people can do about it. People who do not want any involvement need not have any. There are thousands of users on here who probably don't know anything about community and good for them, it's not that hard for you to step back and not get involved. I personally wouldn't be involved at all or even know about the community had I not been the person who owns this website.

People have to get involved with these sorts of things, yes there's always going to be drama, but it's not that hard to step back and take yourself away from it...

	The mods dont take down the flames right away, but sometimes even the mods themselves can be quite "Oh shut the freak up" disrespectful if someone complains about a flame or two. (Reply to this)(Parent)
