Dear lord, excellent suggestion. I need to forward that request to IT immediately.

I can't even begin to think about the longness of the rest of the week, or my head will explode.
The band of trigger-happy chickens running the Ferguson Police Department finally released the name of the officer…
I'm glad you acknowledge that you don't know what it's like to grow up surrounded by religion. It is ABSOLUTELY NOT that easy to "cut and run and leave those dicks behind." You risk losing the love, support, and approval of your community - possibly the financial and emotional support of everyone close to you. That…
Everyone's favorite butt connoisseur has been named the reigning queen of television and we're all better for it.
I mentioned this somewhere else yesterday, but it should be here, too, even if it's just a technical clarification: most of these trolls weren't using our non-IP-tracked, anonymous "Burner" accounts. They were logging in using throwaway Twitter accounts as verification. So while the overall comment/groupchat system…
Sincere thanks to the tech and product people — both New Yorkers and Hungarians — for working tirelessly and staying up until the wee hours to deal with this. Köszönöm.
It does sound hilarious though:
The clap is gonorrhea, not HIV. Also, I recommend that you don't throw your penis into women, with or without a condom. That doesn't sound very pleasant.
Despite being out for nearly three years, Skyrim continues to be played and well-loved by tons of folks—especially…
The visual image of your womb, wandering around on its own, perhaps with a cup of coffee, has really changed my outlook on this day.
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…
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…
If only we published Serious Lady Content instead of all these sloppy, whorish stories! If only we had a panel of Concerned Men who could tell us what is/isn't acceptable to post. That would keep us protected. For our own good, of course.
Yeah, that'll fix it.
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…
Wow, thank you guys so much for writing this. To be honest, the mods have been dealing with this on and off for years. It's never been as bad as this. But back when we had main page abilities, we were able to remove the content alongside authors and tech. It helped protect our readers, our writers, everyone. It's…
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.
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.
