BTO Feedback Requested: Amount of Moderation and Policing on Agriville.com

[ado089]

Sometimes he's funny other times stupid. The Internet is an terrible place to take offense to things. If you don't like his character don't read it. Sorry. But BTO there's plenty of shit out there to discuss , try not to be a dink to others on here.

On the rare occasions when I have taken the time to try to read BTO's post I have found them neither funny or interesting. They are rude crude and generally offensive. They really clutter up this site.
As far as swearing goes that seems to be the norm on this site. I don't like it but I tolerate it.
The line is crossed on personal attacks which really lower the bar. Yes most of us are anonymous but I still don't like it. This site would lose nothing if BTO was banned.

Let's tar a feather him.

We'll see how cocky he is then.

When I see a post by BTO I simply don't read it. I don't even think about it. If in his diatribes he has the odd nugget of interest, I guess I go without. (I don't think I'm missing anything.)

Suggest Agri-ville could do what other sites do - if a post steps offside of the guidelines, leave the post in place but replace the content with something like "the content of this post has been deleted due to inappropriate language".

Nobody should be banned but I support censorship.

Whatever jdepapes said...sounds reasonable.

BTO doesn't bother me, I've seen far worse.

If there are rules they must be followed or the post should be removed. As some others pointed out it would be great to have the ability to have the choice whether I see certain posters post. I would love to have an ignore button.

For those who believe BTO is bad, he is mild compared to candy crush and scrabble chat. They would straighten the curly hairs on a bald man's head! Those chat rooms have a hide function, mute function, and a report function. I do not believe the latter has any value.

Like bucket, I am more offended by the god bless and scripture elements that permeate certain posts than colorful language.

As for freewheat, your mistake was not saying that it would be a long time before you posted on Joe's site, rather than the ultimatum that you would leave forever. You may actually require the use of this site at some future time.

Freewheat ,I don't mean to be a jerk, but you do have to toughen up.

Many on this site have said they need to disregard what bto says. I suggest you do the same.

It is actually an important skill to not get too worried about what unimportant people think.

I would be more concerned about what family and close friends think than a blowhard anonymous poster.
