No harassment policy in Site Updates

It's sad that you have to tell people this.

i think i might've been guilty of this last night, and i repent, but i feel it was somewhat justified. i made a mild statement and was greeted with "suck my balls" in return. that's when my jimmies got rustled. i hope Captain Feck is reading this.

It IS sad that you have to tell people not to be assholes.

I think I might have harassed myself last night, but we won't go there.

Well said.

thanks for being on top of these things :)

Thank you. :)

With a diverse of people from around the globe using this site and their value system is different, something tells me that you will be bringing this topic up a few times.

May I recommend that you add a detailed 'site usage policy' page?

it's sad that you have to write this. Seriously. What is the deal with society these days? In the past I have been attacked for the things I had written in MY diary. Nothing was solved and I am glad you are going to "step up"

besides... doesn't the water turn blue if you pee in a public pool???

Thank you. There has been a lot of this going on lately and rumors about me saying things to people that I never said. Its pathetic that you have to remind people of this.

If we pee in the pool will it turn the water purple? ;)

Duh!!! People are funny cretures.

It's ashame that people need reminders of this. Just so I am clear, I am allowed to still curse right? There is a trucker in me that just can't hold back. :::winks:::

If you want a moderator to take some of the load off you as far as harassment-reporting goes -- let me know.

I love the notes on your entries almost as much as I love the entries.

Busted again! I'll stop harassing and trolling other users immediately. Mostly. Maybe. I'll try.

I HATE it when people pee in the pool. Can we make it where the water turns blue when they do? :)

It is sad that you have to tell people this and that they don't just have the courtesy, but I'm glad this is a thing. It keeps people feeling comfortable with what they're writing and not so worried that somebody is going to harass them for what they say.

Too bad there isn't a way to sort out true harassment vs. people claiming they're being harassed by people who aren't harassing them at all.

I agree with the above comment .... I hope SM you are covering ALL your bases here.

Seriously you need to be fair with all of us on here.

As we say on all my Facebook groups when we join, "Agree".

Did you put that chemical in the pool that turns bright blue when you pee in it? Aw hell,I thought I was finally turning into a Smurf!!

I feel like I missed something

I know you're working for the CIA They wouldn't have you in the Ma-fi-A

Thanks for taking care of this place, especially putting up the warnings. In OD last time, complaints were made against harassers but there's nothing much the Admin could do except advising to block. Alternatively people 'surrendered' by 'hiding' in friends-only diaries, and the harassers won.

• ugh! And THIS is why I avoid pools. . . -shudders uncontrollably-

It's beyond stupid you need to tell adults this, we are not in high school.

I think some people will confuse an arguement or disagreement with "harrassment" which will take up a lot of your time but it's nice to know you're looking out for your members.

I have total faith you know the difference between people communicating and people harrassing. As some people are worried about.

Thank you SM.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

Have you thought of deputizing some people to assist you in handling complaints or moderation kind of issues? Maybe some hall monitor types, people you know personally?

Just say no to bridge-dwelling, Machiavellian sadists.

Thank you for this. I hope you aren't called to enforce it too often.

Fuck that shit, dude! I am here to stalk James Ensor and I'm not afraid to say it! And I encourage everyone else to stalk him too! Also: I hereby physically threaten to pee in James Ensor's pool! And if he doesn't have a pool, then I threaten to pee in his bathtub! And if he doesn't have a bathtub, I will pee on his pillows! You've been threatened Ensor!!!!!!

i can not believe this is starting up yet again! very sad!!!!!!!

Some people have nothing better to do in life. Pretty sad.

I don't understand why there is no block feature yet. Is this to be available soon?

huh huh you said pee

You always get many many notes in your entries

envious

:)

Welcome to roseBox. Notice there's no P in it. Let's keep it that way.

(Actually, that would be confusing, please don't use that idea.)

thank you!

I'm still confused. When is the pool party, and is it surfboard optional?

i just had a rather lengthy exchange with an user wherein she repeatedly insulted me and i continued to reply despite her injunction to "GO AWAY" because she had offended me and i have just as much of a right to defend myself as she does to have her mistaken perception of me in the first place. does this fall under the heading of harassment?

the way i'm going to deal with trolls or people who get angry at me for no good reason, is to delete their comments from my entries, at least until blocking/ignore gets put in place. i think if everyone did that whoever was leaving the offensive comment would lose interest pretty quickly. will user blocking include not seeing their entries on the front page, or would that be a separate potential future? i'd like to be able to prevent people from leaving comments on my entries--i don't care if they can still read them--but i'd be equally happy with not even having certain people in my life in any way, shape, or form.

btw the only reason i am impelled to leave comments that may be construed as offensive is that these people are splayed all over the front page. this is a community, and if i feel people are hurting the community i think i should be able to either reply or have them not show up in recent entries according to each user's preferences.

I haven't had any problems so far. Granted I haven't been here a long time. But its nice to know idiots will be taken care of!

This should go without saying.

Ah man, but trolling is so fun! I'll behave here. I promise. I will leave trolling to the other parts of the interw3b.

Can't wait for the block feature! :)

You need a way to report people who are harassing you, stalking you, bullying you, etc. I've been stalked and harassed before simply because I made less money than the person. Whenever you get to making an option to block people, please make it free and not part of a paid member's package. I had bullies and stalkers on OD and no matter how much I reported them, they kept bullying me and I couldn't just simply block them because I didn't have the money for a membership.
