You disgust me.

How could he possibly have time to be a travel agent, what with running his check cashing scam and pretending to be three hysterical women on the internet? That's a full day!

"Overeducated"

I dearly hope the scripts live up to the fucking phenomenal cast they've got. Last year was a waste. A WASTE, I SAY.

There's was already a Sandra Day O'Clobber, she was one of my team mates. :(

It's a gif made from porn videos depicting 'rape'. So, porn vids showing violence and assault.

My kid counts among your numbers too.

Some of the feedback we get on articles like Zelda Williams' bullying expresses frustration that we keep posting about these trolls—that we're giving them "attention" and that we should rather just "ignore" them.

"I agree, Gawker should hire moderators or have regular commenters volunteer to do it but the last time they did this they put the responsibility on the writers and it failed."

(PS your name reminds me of a derby name, and my ol' school favorite: Beyonslay)

How dare we use the same freedom of expression as these guys? I mean, obviously, the guys posting these images are internet heroes and we're just some thin skinned broads, whining.

No problem. I don't think it will hide you from them, but at least it will hide them from you. Depending on what changes are being made on the platform though, it may not be effective for long.

"I also wonder if a website is viewed worldwide what happens when the actions are illegal in the complaining user's country?"

That's a good point. I think that the original plan of 'blocking individual users' probably should have handled that issue. Someone posted a script on GT the other day if you haven't seen it. It might help.

Moderators aren't usually the authors, and given that they normally expect to see the worst shit, its not nearly as upsetting. I've seen some vile shit as a moderator, but I also expect to.

Its just a nice way, I think, to show someone you appreciate their contributions. I don't read my private view either, but I do follow a lot of people.

Well, "following" now and "following" in the earlier case don't do the same thing. Now following someone just means that their comments/posts show up in your private view feed. Before it actually triggered a change in your account. People stopped using the follow function when they realized it didn't do anything.

Thanks Lauren! As usual, your team is fantastic.

In an earlier iteration, you had to have "X" number of followers to be an approved/promoted commenter.

We don't respond to requests on the invitation threads because it can quickly devolve into arguments, but usually if you haven't been added, its because we haven't seen enough activity on GT. We want to invite people who want to be part of the community, not just people who will be a part of it only if they can…
