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…

Prior to Kinja, I headed the trollpatrol team for Jezebel, as many people here know. We dealt with rape gifs, violent pornography, racism, and harassment regularly, but there was a system in place with which to have it reported and dealt with. Banning didn't usually result in the same person immediately making a new…
I just want to write dude, not dismiss bloody rape gif trolls every day. It is the worst part of our jobs to hear from commenters that they can't discuss, say, a teen girl being great at Little League without some person boasting a burner account using the collective comment thread as a chance to harass people.
Working at Gawker Media is a dream job for many of the women on staff here at Jezebel. This is a place that takes…
It honestly breaks my heart a little bit that this post even needs to exist — but the manner in which this has been handled (or not handled, really) by HQ is pathetic. Not reporting on it feels hypocritical, so here we are.
For what it's worth, I want to apologize to our readers who are forced to interact with these violent gifs regularly. The point of Kinja is to create a better platform for discussion and those discussions CANNOT happen when you're inundated by such traumatizing material. It's this person's goal to shutdown…
What bothers me about this is that we don't record IP addresses so as to protect these burner accounts for people who might want to tip us anonymously about a story. So the company is seemingly placing a priority on making these hypothetical tipsters feel safe over the safety of the actual real live women who write…
The last thing I want to do is give this giant and troubling waste of our goddamn time the acknowledgment that is clearly so desperately craved. But the fact that I must suppress my pride and bring attention to this in a plea for support from my own employer makes it all the more ridiculous.
You know what? I'm straight and I don't want to sleep with most men. Break that news to them if you want to see them really stunned.
No I got bit again. Bunny was a mean, mean hamster. One time I was eating oatmeal and she wandered over and just got in the bowl and I tried to get her out for her safety and she peed all over my oatmeal and then laid down to take a nap.
this cat is B.O.R.E.D. anybody who's watched even half an episode of "my cat from hell" can tell this cat is just trying to play with her because he doesn't have an appropriate outlet for his energy.
I once batted away a hamster that bit me in the face and I still feel kind of guilty about it.

This is essentially Vogon erotic poetry. Everybody panic.

On the last quote- but... They ARE sex offenders. It's accurate. It's not like they drunkenly peed in public. ITS AN ACCURATE THING THAT THEY ARE.
A friend of mine got told on the Fourth of July that her husband wanted a divorce. He blamed her for everything - she was too in to her career, she wasn't getting pregnant fast enough, and a bunch of other douche canoe things in a list that smelled, shall we say, fishy, from the beginning.
Okay, this isn't technically a "cheater" story because we were not exclusive—but it is some lying bullshit, shit-to-the-bull:
