New Measures To Combat Bullying And Unnecessarily Mean Posts On Lpsg

[jumbo747jet]

This is confusing , because I have reported other incidences where people have sent me harrassing messages and all I had to do was hit the report button and the post/message went to a mod. No it's different?

The difference depends on if it's a post or a private conversation.
If it's a post, then clicking the Report Button is all it takes but if the abuse or harassment happens in a private conversation (PM/DM) between you and another member, we can't view that conversation as it is private.

My goal has always been for LPSG to be a sexy, friendly, and enjoyable community. I want everyone to feel welcome here. I want your experience at LPSG to be as positive as possible. Hence, this message to all of you.

There is one part of LPSG that has bothered me since I took over. That is the nastiness shown towards some performers. While this behavior is a very small part of LPSG it can be so nasty it makes all of LPSG look bad. There are some threads and comments that are hard to read. I think this is unfair, unwarranted and something we'd like to change.

Starting today we are going to make LPSG a nicer place.

The first thing we'd like to do is reduce is the number of unnecessarily mean comments.
A mean comment is one that intends, is meant, to hurt someone.

Examples of Unnecessarily Mean Comments....

• They're/You're Ugly
• They're/You're Fat
• They're/You're skinny
• They're/You're dumb

These are just a few examples.
Instead of posting "Mr. LPSG's Ugly" Post "Mr. LPSG's Not My Type".

Better yet, if you don't have anything nice to say don't comment. There seems to be this desire by a few Members to make performers feel worse about themselves. If you are posting to simply try to attack a performer please don't.

How will Unnecessarily Mean Comments be Handled?

First, it is important to remember LPSG works on a reporting system. So as this type of content is reported our team will review it and make a decision.

If the post was made before today it will be edited (to remove the mean part) or deleted.
If the post is made after today....
1st time. The user will receive a friendly reminder from us.
2nd time. The user will receive a warning.
If the user continues this behavior, they may end up being banned, either temporarily or permanently.

Being unnecessarily mean adds no value to a thread or to LPSG; not to mention it indirectly impacts the people who may like that particular performer. Repeated mean comments are a form of bullying towards a performer or person and that isn't acceptable. Users who do this will also be banned from posting in that thread in the future.

CyberBullying
There are two key factors that determine whether someone is bullying someone else or not.
1. The intent to harm
2. Repeated acts of threat or aggressive behavior.
This too will not be allowed on LPSG.

What are some forms of such bullying?
Nasty and humiliating comments
Sharing photos for the sole purpose of ridiculing someone
False information that can be damaging to the person's reputation

We will also not allow
Doxxing.
Trying to out a person.
Threatening to contact their family.
Trying to cancel a person.
Trying to hurt a person's reputation.
Sharing social media photos of someone's family (namely parents).

These are all forms of abuse that we do not want on LPSG.

Anyone making posts with such content that are reported will receive a warning; multiple warnings could lead to a ban. Any user who receives a warning for this may be banned from replying to that thread again in the future.

Please note... We are not asking users to go on a mass reporting crusade. Mass reporting is very disruptive to our moderating team. In general, if you have a few posts to report try to limit it to 5. That allows us to get to the really important reports like illegal content, spam, and harmful links.

Let me assure you this is in no way an attempt to censor you. You can still speak your mind. You are free to say when a performer is not worth the money. You are free to post when you've been scammed. You can talk about being disappointed and underwhelmed by a performer.

We are just asking you to be a little more mindful about the posts you make. The less negativity found on LPSG the more enjoyable it will be for all of us.

My goal is to make LPSG a more enjoyable community for all LPSG Users. I believe these measures will be a huge step in the right direction.

If you have any comments or suggestions regarding this I'm all ears. Thank you for reading and being here!

Thanks to all in advance for your cooperation.
Mr. LPSG and the LPSG Team!

i have never seen a mean post post and have fun!!!!

Hello mods, not trying to start shit, I am legitimately curious about this.

Someone posted on a thread: "God, I really do feel sorry for the severely mentally challenged individuals that still pay for this shit" which was reported as Unnecessarily Mean, but instead of just deleting the comment, mods decided to edit it to say "God, I really do feel sorry for the individuals that still pay for this shit".

What is the criteria for editing an unnecessarily mean comment, as opposed to just deleting it?

Well personally I would look at their posting history. If they have a clean track record, I might consider their statement a momentary lapse in judgement and edit the post. I would probably notify them as well.

 

[MrKit84]

I am wondering what is the new points since the new system change in August?

 

[deleted15849871]

There is a difference between making one comment about a person being ugly and making 15 negative comments about that person. What I have seen is there are some users who try to destroy or cancel out certain performers. Any positive comment they will reply with something negative. Nobody wins when someone does that.

Yo exactly this though and im so glad its been addressed. Sometimes it feels like threads start cool few pics nice chat about a hot guy then 40 pages of insults argueing etc. Someone innocently uploads a pic saying "he looks cute in this" the anger crosses over to that pic wierd discourse continues. Perhaps its the freedom to be openly hateful the internet gives but its very sad. Seen many quit this site over it.

"Performers?"

So like I discussed on email recently that I never got proper replies on, this issue is not as black-and-white as you all seem to simplistically think it is. How do you define "bullying" exactly for instance? Is it when you reply in self-defense to an UNPROVOKED bullying email cloaked in fake "politeness" by calling them out on their bullshit, hypocrisy and disrespect? There are some noobs here who act like they own the site and bully others into abiding by "their rules" through careful wordiing that avoids language that would technically not be considered bullying but are clearly intended to offend and bully others into submission, knowing full well that others would react honestly like any normal human being who is subjected to being degraded/humiliated publicly and that is to then use language that would be ironically considered "bullying" by the trigger-happy moderators who may have genuine frustration over the real aggressors and would just dismiss the case as just another "garden variety" offense without reading the full exchange and investigation of the conflict history that may span several threads over a long period of time? (Of course, I understand who wants to do that?! I wouldn't either. Lol)

But aren't passive-aggressive "signatures" or "instructions" to just post porn, click "like" and not to bother with (God forbid it just uses up an inch of digital space!) the simple yet gracious act of saying "THANK YOU" (you're not only NOT supposed to discuss on this discussion forum anymore, you're not to even "waste" precious bytes on expressions of gratitude on people whose generosity you came here solely for, wow!!! WTF are these "people?!" Absolute porn ad-dicks who can't afford it so they feel entitled to be given it for free?) that actually encourages a genuinely friendly and respectful community that makes sure generous members and contributors (of ideas and information also, not just porn) feel appreciated and not disrespected, which would then encourage others in a chain reaction to share instead of constantly being in fear if they might get banned and punished for their good deeds or even (gasp!) defending themselves or their opinions. Happier community, less hot heads, less fights, less micro-managing and policing! See?

When you've just been discussing the topic at hand using proper sentence and paragraph structures and punctuation (remember those ancient days?!) in the mature and civil manner with others in the thread but, because these noobs came here for the obvious sole purpose of just collecting porn for free and not to discuss and exchange information and opinions at all on a MESSAGEBOARD/DISCUSSION FORUM that was originally created for that main purpose, they somehow thought anything longer than "any nude pics or video clips on him?" or "Bump" if you're not posting copyrighted or even private material, you're OFF-TOPIC or actually in violation of the "unspoken rules" they have in mind. So they then feel "entitled" to order you around to move the discussion to PM? [Put yourself in my shoes for a minute and imagine you were discussing the day's topic in class with some classmates calmly and enthusiastically and then this new transferee came in LATE and proceeded to "nicely & politely" ask you all to STFU because he needed to cram for an exam for another class that day. So you exclaimed "WTF!" and then he doubles, triples, quadruples down on it. The teacher then AGREES WITH HIM and suspends you or the whole class just to add more WTFs and insult to wounds.] This is an act that is just as bad if not actually worse than cursing someone out in terms of the utter DISRESPECT for the equal rights of everyone to express themselves and their views. At least the cursers are honest, sincere and aren't disguising their disdain and real intent and they're not denying your own right to curse back or even just speak freely. This form of bullying is worse because it has the intention of DECEIT on top of the main offense not only on its main object of attack but mainly on the managers of the site whom they are actually USING by clever manipulation to then do their bidding for them. You are being controlled but you feel like you're just doing your jobs and the actual agrieved party is "the enemy." It's like a spit in everyone's drinks instead of in their faces. So then you pat yourselves and each other on the back for keeping the community "friendly" and fearful, but none the wiser in seeing the root causes and how rigid rules that do not consider the FULL CONTEXT and NUANCE of the issues and the REAL INTENTIONS of those involved behind their superficial words and actions only manage to create and maintain the APPEARANCE of peace and order while ironically disregarding the very purpose of real peace and order, which is not to foment resentment and fake "politeness" instead of engendering REAL RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER AND THEIR RIGHTS among the community members.

Let's be clear here, Mr. LPSG. With all due respect, those violations you cited are no-brainer, obvious ones that no one sane and rational would disagree with should not be acceptable in any community, so much so that they should go almost without stating. But for most real situations, stuff committed are nowhere near as bad or clear-cut like I just illustrated. At least as far as I am concerned.

This is, of course, apart from the heated arguments that are simply UNAVOIDABLE in any discussion forum and really aren't as much of a big deal as simply scrolling past them when they don't concern or interest you. Show me a "democratic" forum or system where everyone just agreed in perfect harmony and I'll show you that it's actually China or even North Korea, which would only be okay if you're into propaganda and not into providing freedom for the citizens. The bitching about bitching about bitching is actually not only unhelpful, hypocritical, tone-deaf and funny, they're also adding fuel to the fire that they claim to hate ever so dramatically because they believe in their "perfection" as if they lived in North Korea themselves and really believed it was paradise when they were just involved in some fight over dumb stuff recently. But there, they can add another pat on their own back, if that makes them feel better for a minute.

Totally agree. Some members are weaponizing this rule, carefully wording their replies as to appear benign but when you respond genuinely to the deceitful attack, the mods often take their side, adding salt to the wound.

This cancel if you disagree approach or even show an ounce of genuine disapproval encourages a passive aggressive environment where manipulative sociopaths strive and real victims get silenced and punished.

 

[Hephaestion47]

The problem with the rule is it is often 100% open to the interpretation of the MOD that gets the report.
Due to that, there's no way it's ever going to be 100% fair from all points of view.

 

[MrKit84]

Just went into a French Actor's thread and walked into how " People who cut their kids dicks are barbaric and shouldn't be allowed to torture and abuse kids, no one should have that power and it should be a personal choice" Though if you make that choice you are disgusting and should be arrested. It never ends.

On the money thats literally what happens. Loads of members provoke start trouble and bully. But as you said word things in a way that doesnt "break the rules" extremely passive aggressive. But soon as you respond to defend yourself or disagree what's been said in the thread that report button gets abused

I find it best that if someone is baiting you, just use the ignore feature.

 

[abclou]

Where has the "REPORT" button gone to ?

 

[Hephaestion47]

If you received a recent warning you lose the ability to report other posts for a week.

Why? How does that make sense

 

[andre1000]

Why? How does that make sense

it's because when people got their posts reported, taken down and got warnings, they'd start spamming report on every post out of spite, so now if you get a post of yours reported and you're pissed about it, you can't fill up the admins' inboxes with petty reports

and which is why you need 2 accounts

edit. in case people misunderstood, I was joking lol

That still doesn’t seem right
