Post Police

Can I ask how may people SG has working the posts? I know there are the owners of the site, the staff, the moderators, the SG's, the hopefuls and the members on here. But whose job is it to handle the posts?

It just seems like every post I see you have SG's, Hopefuls, and members chasitsing (sp?) each other for posting in the wrong place, double posting, etc. To me there is just too much policing going on.

Who cares if someone posts in the wrong thread, it was a mistake. Let it go or do you feel like it is your job to point it out. Maybe you should just let the SG staff do their job and leave others alone.

And before you ask, this did not happen to me.

Here are some examples of what I have seen:

Dude, there is a group for this.

Hey don;t post this here, post it on this thread

You are in the wrong place to post this.

There is a thread for this

Why don't you start a new thread?

Did you read the topic title, you are in the wrong place.

ETC ETC ETC ETC ETC ETC

"You posted this question in the wrong place" is the obvious answer.

But, you posted it in the right place.

We think it's a good thing. A self-policing community is something most websites would kill for.

Otherwise there'd be threads about tits in the cat lovers group and posts about anal sex on the Music board and posts about horticulture in the Sexaholics group.

... and then we'd just have to call it "Myspace."

The two places you pointed out do not have anything to do with posting in the wrong place. As far as I remember those threads were in regards to my group being denied, and then a thread about my anger with the site.

But thank you for doing exactly what I was getting at to prove my point. What is with this "Gotcha" attitude on this site. I guess what I should have said in my original post was to point out that actual phenomena, the "Gotcha" game.

Ok I can respect that. Thank you for the direct answer. But do you ever find it "overboard" when you see htese type of posts?

You pointed out to me before that poeple like to try and get your goat on this site. But doesn;t that ruin the experience of this site to be brow beaten over posting in the wrong place, at least when it is not very respectful?

Maybe I am too sensitive but the fact is you have staff in place, such as yourself, so why doesn;t the staff just deal with it and tell the members to let you guys do your job?

Okay, at this point, man, I gotta say you are really starting to come across as angry, demanding, and paranoid in every post you make. You don't walk into a bar you've never been in before and start demanding that the staff and other customers do things exactly the way you like them, do you?

Chill the fuck out and we'll all be happier.

This community does pretty darn well for itself. When staff sees people getting out of hand, we do something about it. We have no desire to rule with iron fists, and I don't see people getting "brow-beaten" very often.

A gentle nudge to post something in the right place isn't disrespectful, it's common courtesy and it help keeps things running smoothly.

Please no.

So as long as I toe the line and do not point out anything bad on this site i am welcome to post? I thought member suggestions/comment were welcome?

And to my defense I have posted a good handful of posts that have nothing bad in them.

Okay, what you're asking for is for Tuffy and I to police every single one of the hundreds of thousands of posts made on this website every week, and for every single one of the members of this website to change their behavior to suit your expectations.

Do you see how this might be considered a bit unreasonable request?

If you do see it as reasonable, how the holy hell did you hack it in the military, man?


People point out things they dislike about SG all the time. Read more threads around here sometime.

Also, you're welcome to post as much as you want about how you want things run around here. But we're welcome to tell you what we think about it, too.

No that is not what I am asking for. I did not in any manner say I want things to go my way, did I?

All I did was bring up something that I find frustrating and now, once again, I get beaten down on the boards over pointing something out. So the point has been made, don't post anything on the boards that has anything negative against SG. No probelm.

I also find it amusing that everytime I post something minorly negative, you are quick to swoop down and tell me I am wrong.

The post police, they live inside of your head.

Sweetie, I'm the one who walked you through your first couple temper tantrums here, and you thanked me for it then.

Perhaps my patience has just worn a bit thin.

Yes you did help me through my issues, and I appreciate now as I did before. But it still seems to me that if you say something negative on these boards against SG then you get scolded almost immediately.

Hey but what do I know. I am just a newbie who throws temper tantrums. I'll make sure to tell the VA to give me anti temper tantrum pills next time I go down there, HAHA

I'm sorry, but where the hell is Al when we need her?
