It must be terrible for black parents to have to tell their children "Even if you're unarmed, even if you're well-behaved, even if you do everything right, there is still a chance that a white police officer will murder you in the street with your hands up."

The craziest thing to me in the aftermath of these killings is how accepting most people are of the militarization of the police. I fully expect that when video footage is found (dashcam or otherwise), Mike Brown will have done nothing that could warrant a reaction with fatal force, but people will still look and…

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…

I have honestly spent less and less time on the mainpage because of this. Everytime I think about venturing over, someone has warned us in GroupThink that there are porn gifs, once again. If compassion for your writers and your commenters isn't enough to get Gawker Media to do something, maybe they should think about…

THIS is why I hate the writer-controlled comment-pruning bullshit Denton wants. You have to maintain the comment pool BUT you also have to research and write a bunch of articles a day? I wonder which 'duty' will be dropped first - probably not the one that pays your rent.

Truth. Just look at all the backlash Jessica Valenti got for asking a very simple, straightforward question about tampons! That was literally a simple request for information and she got so much shit for it.

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…

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…

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…

People have been warning us via GT when to stay off the main page, which is great but I miss reading you guys on those days. I hope The Powers That Be wise up and fix this issue soon. The IP address thing is sort of bonkers. They need to be able to definitively ban trolls—particularly with some of the doxxing…

IP address are NOT like a normal house address. For the average user, IP address change all the time, usually daily. Even then, there are numerous workarounds for altering/changing/spoofing IP addresses. IP bans are not a panacea to cure unwanted commenter.

That was a Gawker article, idiot.

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.

Ok is there ever going to be a real response to the troll harassing everyone on this website. An yes we all know you can send a notice to tips@jezebel.com. But come the fuck on, every article is playing russian roulette on whether or not your going to see something disgusting. People are avoiding the website because…

Mo-Ne is totally throwing "like a girl" - because she is one.

Hoping that you'll check back to this, or that the mods pick this up, but user basketballamericanssnnnn is posting some really graphic gifs of a woman being beaten up, and another using the Jezebel logo in front of what looks like someone slitting their arm.
