Site Suggestions

Would love to see the same as well.

Just my two cents, but the more like Facebook and Twitter SG becomes, the less I like it.

Yeah, me too. I already have Facebook to be like Facebook.

I agree also, I do think people will take a not for me on a blog post to be insulting in one way or another.

Is there some reason why recent topic comments/responses cant begin on page one,and not the opposite order that we see them now.Curious is all.

I would just like to say that I think it is horseshit that I pay for a membership but cannot join certain groups on the site because they require you to have a certain post count per day or require that you have a journal... I have an interest to read through posts and maybe post on subjects myself if I feel inclined to but its pretty lame that I am blocked out of groups... Whats the point of paying the membership, I feel ripped off.

I sent that to customer service and they told me to post it here... seriously, its horseshit.

Your membership buys you access to the photo sets. Everything else is a privilege that needs to be earned.

FOUR DOLLARS!

someone got set up to fail.

Customer service just wants your overinflated sense of privilege to get knocked down a few pegs.

So many, so many, so many people join the site every day. Some of them are insane drama llamia trolls, or creepy penis picture posters, and some of them are dangerous.

Private groups are private for a reason. Some groups relate to super personal things. Some groups are where people make plans, regularly, to meet up in the real world. Some groups are support groups for specific problems, and some groups have a great vibe, and just want to make sure some newbie doesn't come in and post their cock everywhere every second day.

Once you've posted for a while, a person who needs to evaluate whether you're suitable for membership in a private group has some information to inform their decision. Before you've got some comments, there's no way to tell the difference between you and some insane freakshow lunatic whose going to come to a local event and take off his pants, or show up at some girls house, or even just create a lot of generally unpleasant drama.

That's why some private groups ask you to have some comments, or a journal entry, or a picture.

Your paid membership gives you access to the site, and allows you to look at the sets, and the videos, and vote on the hopefuls. You can participate in a lot of the community. The community as a whole, though, isn't a service that SG administers and offers; although there's the occasional descent from on high, mostly we regulate ourself.

Which private groups are you irked over, particularly.

^^^I admire your patience.

I get why we all play the 4 Dollars card (on account of it's hilarious, and usually excises people from the site that don't provide an improvement, and also it's hilarious), but as far as I remember the ability to join groups and talk to people in them is one of the things SGHQ promote on the tour and signup pages. Joining and then finding out you can't participate in such and such a group might be a little galling.

Also, now that I've typed that I can save it to my library for the next time this comes up.

That pretty much sums it up right there. Here is everything you get when you join... except most of what we are telling your right now. Sign up and find out your still not getting to experience a lot.... Real nice.

If you're worried about trolls and "newbies" posting their cock... (???) well isn't that why there are moderators for the groups? They could remove the problem pretty easily... still makes no sense to me.

Sense of privilege... right.. thats why I pay for a membership, because I feel entitled to the things that I thought I was paying for. The awesome community sure isn't so awesome or accepting of new people so thats another factor of SG that sucks.

I want a refund.

How am I whining? I thought this was a conversation...

so you´ve been here for a year and just now you are demanding to be included? you get quite an eloquent reply from Elichrusos and still dont get it?
You want it all and you want it now?
well... tough luck.

Ive been a member for a year!! Doesn't that negate all arguments of me being a "newbie"?

It makes no sense, SG snobs.

The groups are just a part of SG (other entertaining parts of the site are the sets, the boards and the blogs) and just a few of those groups are private and have rules to join. And most of those rules are easy to follow. So i really don't know, where there is the problem.
What are these amazing groups, you want to join so badly? Are you sure, it is worth all the trouble? In my humble opinion, most of the private groups are very inactive and not entertaining.

WAAAAAAHH.

People don't want random fuckbags reading their private stuff. Want to read people's private stuff? Prove you're not a random fuckbag. We're not just going to take your word for it. Best way to prove you're not a random fuckbag: participate.

This, unfortunately for you, is a bad start.

no, not at all, quite the contrary. at this point i can´t expect you to see the irony in all this.

Don't know what a creeper is.. don't know what a lurker is... and don't really give a shit. You guys win, I'm over it. Done with groups and done with SG.
