Hi there. Can you tell me more about it and let's see if I can be of any assistance
People of TWS, we need to have a conversation.

@Desian If you don't follow a user they can't message you.

today, three upstanding members of the tws community decided to leave. as a community, we should introspect on the reasons. there is something wrong here.
i feel like a decision has to be made by the @Global-Moderators & @TalkWithStranger concerning the nature of TalkWithStranger.com. is this site going to remain a cool little meeting place for people to make new friends and engage in lovely banter, or is it going to become a trashy sexting site with nasty ads and perverts lurking around every corner?
i have issues with the way this site is moderated, i really do. i honestly do. i know of four individual people who've left this site because they couldn't handle the amount of creeps on this site.
If you are being creeped out by anyone, there is a block button, and you never will have to talk to them again.
they have all left by now, while all the pervs are still here. what is the priority here? getting all these little messed-up creeps and catfishes to use this site in order to maximize that sweet sweet ad revenue?
Catfishes aren’t our problem, unless they are asking for pictures or money. There is also a flag button that you can use to give us a notification about someone.
@Global-Moderators, please tell me whose side are you on, because at this point i'm not even sure anymore.
i think that the priority should be making this place a safe & fun environment. no more harassment, no more toxicity. of course, we all need to check our behavior. i'll be the first one to admit that i haven't always been the most welcoming & friendliest person on this site. i will try to be kinder in the future, and provoke less drama.
in my opinion, we need more moderation. this place needs a major cleanup. we need stricter rules of conduct and they need to be actually enforced, not simply treated as suggestions as they currently are.
What do you suggest?
seriously, no one in their right mind is going to want to join this site if they see 1000X topics like "i'm bored & horny" in a row. let's stop this madness.
@Div did post a solution for this. https://chatrooms.talkwithstranger.com/topic/29511/ignoring-the-h0rny-posts-and-i-lost-this-and-this-posts-from-your-unread-recents/7
i love this place. i love the community here, and i love everyone who makes an effort to keep this place alive. you are all wonderful people. but we can't continue like this. today's events proved it.
i would like to hear suggestions from everyone here. how could we make this place better & more welcoming? please people, let's brainstorm and make something positive happen. let's not give up on trying to turn tws into a better place.

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.What do you suggest?
it would be nice if the global mods actually enforced the Community Rules & Content Policies. i've occasionally mentioned these rules in my flag descriptions, just to remind you guys that they exist
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. -
@Akkii That dude I blocked now because he never sent the photo so obviously I was correct about him. His name is Shaina24 so be aware.
-
@TalkWithStranger Well then something is not working properly because I have a lot of people messaging me that I do not follow back. They follow me I do not follow them.
-
@Desian
have you enabled this setting? -
@sarah_the_magpie I'm going to be honest I did not. But I was unaware of that as an option so it is now selected. Thank you.
-
@Desian lol i asked for the name so that other girls can be cautious of that person too....i don't have nothing to worry as fortunately or unfortunately only girls have to face these creeps....
-
@Akkii Yep. But now that I found out about that option lol should be less to deal with now.

I’m sorry on behalf of whomever mod did that.

They do think that these issues are a problem, and we are finding a solution as we speak.

Here is a suggestion:
When you post a topic the default category is "Discuss Anything". Thus horny topics go into "Discuss anything". However the default should be "Horny shit" or whatever it is called. And I have muted "Horny shit" which is one of TWS's featurs. Which should also be the default :grin:
Moderation should just make sure that the horny topics go into the horny category. That'd be enough IMHO.
