@Akkii said in People of TWS, we need to have a conversation.:
This place has a rating system and have got reputation marking for each profile....so if someone with good reputation marks Someone down that should ban them or it should lead towards that...
People can already do that by flagging users. What you suggest would unfortunately be abused very easily by users who simply want to see other users they don’t like gone. :/
saying this as the creeps might mark down good people as well to get back at them...the algorithm needs to change a bit...and moderators need to do their job more actively on topics to remove the bad ones....or just quit if you just want to show that moderator tag beside your name and just do nothing....appoint more moderators with good reputation and those who are active and willing to do that job.... @TalkWithStranger
You might not be able to see it, but the active moderators here are constantly on the lookout for spammers, offensive content, creep posts, etc and responding to flags and inquiries of users in need. Idk what more you can want from us :/ Should we be deleting every single post of users looking for partners/nudes/sexting/etc? We’re already constantly moving those to the appropriate category which normal users can ignore as @Div showed.
I don’t think the issue here is to be fully blamed on the moderation if you don’t mind me saying. Sure, an increase of mods will mean more help moving those topics and warding away creeps, but we’ve been doing that since the creation of this website even when we had more mods. That’s just like putting a bandaid on an bullet hole and hope it stops bleeding after a while.
When it comes down to it, there are two main types of target audience to this place, peeps looking for hookups and peeps looking for interesting people to chat with. Thing is no matter what you do, the creeps will keep on coming. We should be figuring out how to improve the layout of this place so these two types of users can thrive without bothering one another.
Problem is it’s hard to separate the two and unless the whole design of the website changes idk how we could effectively keep them apart. We’re already moving those topics to separate categories but seems like that’s not enough..

If you are being creeped out by anyone, there is a block button, and you never will have to talk to them again.
tbh blocking solves nothing. back in october, i was harassed by a user who wrote insulting replies to my every comment for at least a week. i blocked him, but it didn't stop him from writing the replies. i flagged him and i was told by a mod that he was allowed to do it, and i was a jerk for flagging him.
so no, blocking doesn't work.
@TalkWithStranger should look into fixing that feature :/
thanks for replying tho. you and @div are the only global mods who cared enough to respond. even if my tone is negative, i do appreciate it.
i guess the other mods don't feel like these issues are a problem, which makes it easier to tell whose side they are on.
Quick reminder that it’s not because some mods didn’t reply to this topic that there aren’t doing anything and actively looking for solutions. 😅
