Just wanted to say (not that anyone cares) I’m letting my paid membership lapse in a week largely because of what I perceive as the poor moderation around racism and sexism here. I’ll still be here as a Guest, so no need for any door-hitting-ass comebacks. I’m just not going to support the Dope with my money, and for only that reason, should any of TPTB be interested in people’s reasons for not re-upping. And of course I’ll gladly pay again should things improve.
I’ll alert the media.
:rolleyes: No need, I’m sure they already follow my every move
Have fun with all the ads!
Oh and door, arse etc.
What ads?
If you say so.
That will teach the bastards to fart in church, and that’s a fact.
People unaware of AdBlock really shouldn’t try snark…
Funny that I know at least one person snarking has also revealed why they are not a member.
I don’t entirely agree with you MrDibble, but I do think there are things they could do, even within the existing rules. Like treating racist/sexist/homophobic comments as hijacks and telling them to open a thread in GD. Those who are actually interested can still “fight their ignorance” but the rest of us don’t have to see interesting threads be ruined.
But you’ll be glad to continue using it? That’s cool. One less paying member. To counteract this sudden imbalance in the Universe, I’d be willing to sponsor a guest for a year. Is that still do-able? Can I pay for someone else’s membership? If I can, the first guest to respond to this thread using the phrase-that-pays “Hot Tuna” is the lucky winner!
Quick, somebody pay his membership just to piss him off.
Yep. There’s a lot to still like about the place.
Why don’t you sponsor NIBIRU? I’m sure he’s a keeper.
Note how that thread gets moved to the Pit* tout suite*, while the anti-Black scientific racist shit gets to stay in GD all it wants. Of course, anti-Black racism doesn’t gore JC’s ox.
That’ll show 'em. Henceforth none of that dough the mods are raking in will come from you.
I’m waiting on an answer from that guy about parks. But if he gets in here quick with the phrase-that-pays, I’ve committed myself.
I think you’re getting a lot of undeserved snark. What you’re doing seems very reasonable to me. You’re stating it because TPTB should be interested in reasons that membership is down. I also agree with you regarding how the board treats racism and sexism. Those are both reasons why I don’t pay to visit here, either.
There’s lots of good here, but there’s also a shit load of bad.
We all float down here.
Hot Tuna!
Do I win?
It is hard for me not agree with MrDibble. At this point in time, given the previous few months of discussion, if the mods don’t think it’s racism, it certainly seems to me to be trolling.
I wasn’t going to subscribe, but now I think I might, just to make up the difference.
Duly noted. I will try not to screw this up!
