I cannot endorse the Landshark simply because that's not accurate Great White predatory behavior. Now if it were changed so the penetrating partner attacked from underneath, that would make sense.

I know exactly where you're at; similar situation where I had to use my teeth. When I was recommended therapy by the lawyers I was so irate that this fucker was potentially going to get off (he didn't, #bestjudgeever) while I was asked to consider paying for therapy for my anger that I flipped out on them about how I…

EDIT: Meant for this response to be visible to the entire Jezebel staff, hope they see it.

When I worked at [redacted sports company], I wrote a tongue-in-cheek article about A-Rod going to Hooters was the sign of his decline. Started getting insults/rape threats in the comments immediately. My boss said "If customer service OKd it, it can stay up. Just don't read the comments."

THIS. Even without violent porn gifs, its a lousy system. Like I said earlier, you can't have the bartender and the bouncer be the same person and expect either one to do their job well.

At pretty much every blogging job I've ever had, I've been told (by male managers) that it'd be a death sentence to moderate comments and block IP addresses, because it "shuts down discourse" and guts traffic. But no one's ever shown me any actual numbers that support that claim. Does anyone have any? Not that I think…

It's terrible to hear that commenters could potentially be fired for looking at the website due to the GIFs. While I try to be active in comments (and honestly, that's one of my favorite parts of the job), it makes me anxious to think that people could get in trouble because I am writing and sourcing links instead of…

Not just the grays, but the pinks and auditioning to be a commentor to be even in the grays. Bring back the star system. Bring it all back.

I'll be frank: I've been doing a lot of the behind the scenes complaining about this from my end because that's the only thing I can do. As some of you might know, I started out as a mod and worked my way up. I've seen a lot of shit, even with the old system in place (and not just from one site - I modded all the…

In NO OTHER PROFESSIONAL INDUSTRY is it acceptable to let your workers be subjected to repeated, targeted pornography and violence. I have NEVER worked a job staffed by the kind of people who would stand idly by — it would be one fat lawsuit after another up everyone's asshole and an HR nightmare, to boot.

Or they're refusing to address the somewhat unique position a progressive women's website has on the Internet. Women aren't general interests that can be treated like "cars" or "sports."

I use to go to other sites and read the comments and think "thank goodness Jezebel is not like that." The previous systems that use to be in place that promoted and encouraged quality commenting really made a difference. It is still not quite as bad as other places but I don't really see as much of a difference…

Oh yeah, the star system was awesome. It was also a semi-deterrent, because pink commenters knew that it was pretty much impossible for them to have their shit seen.

To me, it seems this is really indicative of the way in which it's so much harder to exist as a woman on the Internet — women have to deal with so much shit, and so much of the stuff done to ~make the 'net free for everyone~ doesn't take that fact into account at all. There was an op-ed in the Guardian about that this…

We used to have a waiting period - the 'try-outs' for comments and it took sometimes a week or two to become approved. I'm starting to really miss that.

No, and fuck you. Jezebel should be able to post articles about whatever they damn well please without having to deal with rape gifs and gore porn and whatever the fuck else. Those are being used as a silencing tool, and your comment is no better.

There are possible solutions/mitigation methods for this issue - putting a waiting period on created burner accounts before they can post images, limiting the number of images that can be posted on a burner account within a certain period of their creation, etc. - but I doubt Denton is willing to do anything that…

israel is responsible for far more than 298 civilian deaths, are we sanctioning them? oh. right. we're culpable for those Palestinians because we supply israel with weaponry to kill. fuck you, C.A. Pinkham, you uninformed piece of shit.
