Admin seems to intervene less often lately. A couple of months ago they were more cautious and more off topic posts were taken down. It definitely changes the atmosphere here. More jokes, more arguments, more hate, more fun/OT chats.
Well, admins do deserve holidays like all the rest of mankind i guess? lol. In any case, i think they moderated more heavily when a new moderator was recently starting so it might have been a case of “i have to give my job a 200.6%”. Might be wrong tho.
Yeah, not complaining either, just remembered that randomly. I also prefer less moderation, since i’m guessing that not even half the stuff that’s been posted on the last month would have made the cut otherwise, lol.
The moderators will step in when they feel the site is headed totally in the wrong direction. Truthfully the majority of posting here is supporting all of us struggling, even when we get off topic occasionally. I’m sure they are reading what I am typing right here right now.
FTR I was around a while ago when they shut down a gaming thread, truthfully it was off topic completely even if the people participating were active members. There were a lot of hurt feelings. I keep saying, and I’ll say this again, I don’t own this site, I’m not sure who does, but it isn’t a democracy so if they decide we have all cruised into gossip land and have left what the site is about behind, they will step in and start shutting down threads.
“The moderators will step in when they feel the site is headed totally in the wrong direction” — Sometimes admin doesn’t show up and hateful posts stay up for longer than they should. Sometimes they take hateful/OT posts down super fast… So I have no idea how admin runs SP, but I’m very thankful for its existence.
About moderation… I do agree with Trix, I prefer it the other way too.
I’ve met lots of people on this place; I met my first “friend” in Dec 2012 (before joining as Tristeza). I think that chatting and having fun sometimes is one of the good things about being in a community, but too many OT comments/posts can distract us from the real purpose of being on SP — share your story and help others if possible.
I think of the SP community like an organism, we all seem to move around on similar schedules, or complimentary schedules. It can’t be the all death show all the time, we would all get war weary.

I was chastized for using this site as a chat room.
haha really?
Lol a social network for suicidals. I spend more time reading posts on here than I do on Fb …
Facebook sucks anyway. LOL> I think there is better selection of quality people on Here.

Not complaining. I know a lot of people prefer it when it’s less heavily moderated. I prefer it the other way, but that’s just me.

Not to be a downer. Just a realist.

Facebook… Yuck.
damn my comment went to moderation
Idon’tcarebook is an extension of con-sum-er society. SP isn’t
There was someone here called s u m e r k o l c a k that’s why it went into moderation and that person was banned
unfortunately the word conS U M E R has it in there
I think it’s time the Admin took that word off the hotlist considering he hasn’t appeared on SP in years
If so, the people on here are much better than on Facebook.
Oh yeah yeah, I like what everyone is saying, thanks all. I don’t mean to take things OT, I just feel very at home here 🙂
