Swingular - Swingers

Swingers Forum - Please appoint a forum moderator

Previous Post Next Post
Wouldn't mind if a couple of active people could be appointed forum moderators so we could clean up all the posts that are simply call outs against specific people or groups of people. It's starting to feel like I'm reading my kids Facebook wall.

Either the moderator needs to start doing their job, or Swingular should appoint someone new so we can keep this as a site for adults.

And no, I don't want the job. Appoint someone who has been an active member for a long time.

That's my recommendation anyway.

Either way, hope the personal attacks and pettiness ends soon.

very much agree with you...it is just not worth posting on here anymore. Will stick to our friends and chatting with them, but have always found your posts very mature and responsible.
Agreed!!!!!

I think you just slammed your kids' facebook wall. :) My own kids are more civil then what goes on here.
It's the weather. If you're on any forums, there's always a few negative, call out threads during this time of the year.
Your new Forum Moderator........ ;)
Great comics. Yeah, there really isn't much of a favorable way to moderate these things. The site itself has kinda become neglected, and behavior in the forums pretty much just reflect that.
We don't need no stinkin' moderator (or badges either).




Seriously though (Yeah Evil, you sarcastic son of a bitch?), this is all pretty tame compared to MUCH of the rest of the internet. Yeah I know we're all here to get laid and we should all be nice to each other and WWJD and all that but we're also adults and we're GOING to occasionally disagree. Just the nature of the beast, especially in a site dedicated to doing naughty stuff and where we're effectively competing against each other for the peeps with the hottest genitalia. It's actually quite easy to totally ignore a thread that you find distasteful whether it's one calling someone out, bashing hermaphroditic ferret lovers, or just complaining that you aren't getting your fair share of nookie. If we could all control our impulses (yes, that includes ME too) to look at and comment on a controversial thread instead of ignoring it and watching it die a quick painless death that would COMPLETELY take care of the problem sans moderator.

We're on several other swing sites and one is HEAVILY moderated and there are just as many people screaming "Censorship!" as there are calling for peace and harmony and a poontang in every pot. Of course we could just all try to look past the vitriol and realize that's it's totally a Darwinian thing and that at very least it gives us a really handy way to identify those who think the same way we do and those who we wouldn't fuck with a 10 foot dildo. I think seeing who starts flinging their poo in the forums is a great time saver for us in weeding out those who we will not be compatible with. JMO

Oh, and just try to convince me that it isn't hilariously entertaining watching someone totally lose their shit and have a complete hissy fit on a forum where they're trying to look attractive to other people so they can get laid. LMAO!

Great point...we may have to refer to it as WWEDD in the future. Sometimes it is best to let it lie, even when sometimes you want to give some sage advice. Just read, take notes and upgrade security around the home... oh wait, I didn't leave me address on here...whew!

Well, my point was that I expect to see it on my kids wall with all his emo teenage friends, publicly posting about every personal issue they have with someone.

The forums aren't Facebook. If you have an issue with someone, message them.

Btw, I was talking about my kids friends, not him.

But even if I had been, I still don't think him and his friends come our looking worse than the adults on this site.

I don't want censorship, but I also don't want to watch personal feuds filling up the forums and other areas of the site.

Just my preference.

@Everyone else,
Some funny posts here. Most of you on the site seem quite nice and a lot of fun, that's why it's a shame that everyone is stuck discussing other people's personal issue's.

And I agree, seeing some posts have been a great way to see some people's personalities (silver lining I suppose). Nothing is a bigger turn off than a bad attitude.

Catch you all around. :)
I figure it this way, if I don't want to look at a certain person's PM I just delete it. If there's a post I think is going a little too far, I just ignore it. No point is arguing about it all. We can censor what we read ourselves. Moderators have a terrible job (I'm one on a boating site) and you never know what is crossing the line to whom. To one person, things that Evildoers posts is offensive ( I personally love the posts), and other it's entertainment.
Bottom line is, if something annoys people and no one posts on it, the post dies a quick death.

lol, I was just teasing with the facebook comment, as in "Kids act more mature on their facebook pages than some adults do here!"
Asking for a Moderator IS in fact asking for censorship by the very nature of the job.

I understand a moderator censors. My point was I don't expect them to decide which posts are good, I would simply expect them to remove posts that are nothing but personal attacks that add little to any type of discussion.

It's not a big deal and I don't expect that any site administrator will ever read this and change anything...but figured it wouldn't hurt to say.

Thanks for your response though. I appreciate it. :)
Naw. Changed my mind. You're all poopy heads and obviously mentally defective and have mommy issues and exhibit a propensity for not being able to control your bodily functions SIMPLY because you don't swing the exact same way WE do. So THERE!
You know the more I think about it the more, we (well at least I) need to have a little more conviction sometimes. I know it can be wildly entertaining to watch someone go bonkers on a post, but sometimes someone needs to say something to that person when they really go way over the line, and let's not fool ourselves we all know when that happens. I have commented in the past that we really don't need to teach a jerk...how to 'appear' not to be a jerk, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't say something when they are keeping fun people from posting on here.

I have noticed some posters that have quit posting or don't post nearly as much as they use to and I am sure that if we asked they would say they are tired of the crap they have to take from all the rude responses; when they are just trying to be funny or quirky or whatever, and I am not talking about evildoers responses. I am talking about blatantly rude comments about other people, comments about their posts, and often in a very blunt, threatening and offensive manner. Believe me, I like UTARD and Evildoers have overlooked many a post that crossed the line, and I do ignore those threads that I know aren't worth my time (generally...yesterday was the exception). I have as thick of skin as there is believe me...it is just getting harder and harder to find threads that are even remotely entertaining or informational lately. If something comes along that really catches my eye, it may change.
Hang in there GOODKARMA. Help is on the way. I plan to very soon start several very insightful threads about single males, boob jobs and how to write swinging expenses off of your taxes.

If you have any insight on the Kim Jung Un/Worm parties, or how I can become (in my advanced age) part of the next touring team in North Korea that would be a great thread...my spot up 3 is vastly improved over the last year.

Lashing out at others because you don't agree with their lifestyle choices is low. It goes against our entire lifestyle. Who are you to judge and more importantly, who are you to be outright rude and hateful about it. You do your thing and let others do theirs. If you don't like a particular group, don't associate with them.

In agreement 100%!!!!!
To say there are not some exceptions to free speech, I think we all know better than that. If you don't believe me, go to your place of employment (beginning tomorrow) and go around telling all the ladies how they need to go out with you and 'give it up' or show me your panties. I would suggest doing it in front of HR, and when they try to fire you, tell them about your constitutional rights. Look I am not talking about confronting everyone that annoys or offends you on here. I am talking about the once in a great while rants where threats are made, and absolutely cruel and abusive comments are made. I am not evening talking really about a moderator...per se...really it is just about defending each other, and having each others back when abusive things are said. Just because we are in the lifestyle, doesn't mean that we can't be responsible and show a little character when the time comes.

I doubt most of us would stand by the wayside while some crook stood over a little old lady in the streets and kicked her in the head while taking her purse. Once in a while we need to have each others back!

I'm not sure who this is directed to. If me, please message me and let know what I did or said that came across as "hateful", and I'll make sure to try and ensure I change it.

Thanks.

Can we PLEASE get this thread back to talking about KrazyGirl and descriptions of their wild sex parties?

Didn't think suggesting removing personal attacks and feuds from the forums was that big a deal (some folks seemed almost offended), but apparently, I'm in the minority.

As long as the majority are happy, I guess it's all good. :)

And then you get into The Tyranny of the Majority, which has been hotly debated since December 20th in Utah.
But speaking of free speech, is it indecent for me to post this video?
Yeah watched that show the other night. THAT'S an hour of my life I'll never get back.

JeffSmith!! My sound is screwed up on this computer so I can't hear the video but I'm pretty sure, being a single guy, you're not allowed to post here anyway are you? **just teasin, for ya'll that don't know different**
They can post but as couples we're allowed to hit them with a virtual rolled up newspaper.
Excellent, you'll get virtual Single Male poo all over your lawn as comeuppance.
Wow virtual poo flinging, interesting day on the forums
CarnalPleasures, I think you read that wrong. The Poo is real, it was only the "Single Male" part that was virtual. No ACTUAL single males are brave enough to show their faces around here! ;)

Hahaha, ok thank you for clearing that up
Point Pals4fun, no actual single males exist on Swingular. They've all been beaten into submission. "Single Males" on here are all cheating married men, or girls posting as single males to get kicks and jollies.
I knew it...finally you are collectively (through jeffsmith) coming clean!
I am on another site in Houston and the forums there seem to be much more political and one sided. I agree with some of the other comments here. Those who choose to knock down others in this medium are probably not going to encourage a lot of other communication for other more interesting endeavors. Maybe those who agree with their perspective might be attracted to them, who knows.
Can we all just hold hands already and sing Kumbaya?



Dammit....




Who the fuck do you have to blow around here to get a video to embed?
single males...all of them!
sorry that low hanging fruit was down around my ankles...no pun intended.

When I said YOU I was not referring to anyone specifically but to everyone in general. Clearly if everything posted was to flame someone, I doubt that many would bother to continue to read the posts.

That being said, I agree that there is an in good taste limit to free speech.

However right or wrong the internet does seem to insulate the speaker and bad manners from responsibility. It also protects the minority from the majority to some extent and definitely helps people in the lifestyle connect with each other.

Like every other instrument it can be used for good or bad.

aaah...we are all past that...we are meeting at some place in North Ogden for beer and EvilDoers is paying the price for embedding...bj's all around!
And then we're going to teach GOODKARMA how to hit send/submit just ONE time. And FYI I doubt they have beer in North Ogden. We'll prolly have to drive out to Plain City for a cold one. Anybody have a big ass tube of Chapstick?

You had me at "BIG ASS TUBE"
You should see my "olive branch".
Ok Evil, Why would you even ask to barrow a tube of chapstick that belonged to a Big Ass? He probably would't loan it to you anyway.

I suppose you're right. I AM a girl who likes water sex though so perhaps a bit of "boiling" in the hot-tub followed by "eating?"
EVILDOERS... We're singing to ya... Can you hear me now??? LMAO... (I could try it in sign language if that communicates virally better?) let me know?
Now IDK if this is a Verizon commercial or singing lessons?
