A Question About Negativity?

AltPorn — Tue, 06 Feb 2007 06:17:03 +0000

We have a question for our loyal AltPorn.net readers regarding negatively focused comments on posts and example pictures and such. Generally speaking, we enjoy maintaining a positive supportive stance when it comes to the creative AltPorn scene. You may have even noticed that some of the companies or entities that tend to bring a lot of drama and rudeness don’t even get covered here. It’s our view that this sort of poison is bad for everyone, but on the otherhand, we respect people’s ability to communicate their views and feelings on things as well. So, the question then arises: Should we censor comments made on posts that are simply obnoxiously rude and/or negative? Should we let them air? People occasionally make such well thought out posts, like ‘she’s UGLY’ ‘That site sux’ and variations on that theme. We get a twinge moderating them out, but we’ve also seen legitimately useful forums and communities destroyed by a few dickish sock puppets playing verbal king of the hill to the point that nobody reasonable wants to participate anymore. I guess you can see how we are leaning on the issue, but we would love to get some feedback from you as well.
