This place is a bit delete happy
One of my threads was getting discussion and I gave it the background that was available, but it was deleted for "lack of context."
There's a lot of shushing go on here, tbh. If it's not perfect, a post has to be disappeared. Not even moved, or not even asked for more info if appropriate.
It's very frustrating to be in one of the few feminist spaces and getting deleted for this or that small thing. I've seen more posts by probable men and posters that don't even really believe in the principles of radical feminism that slide through. But somehow I get tightly patrolled.
Mine was on the picture of a cop in 1969 in drag "under cover." The look on the faces of the women walking by summed up the preposterousness of it. Nothing else is known about the picture and I said that. But it was still worth the conversation.
Please don't ban me for this criticism, take it or leave it as you wish. But I do think Ovarit could take a look at how much patrolling goes on and who gets patrolled. New members that read like men? Yes please. "Lack of context?" Well.....you didn't offered any context for that deletion.
Could we get a circle like "For everything else" -- for things that would probably be deleted from established circles, but we'd just like to share them, including things that we vent over and have nowhere else to share them?
You could warn people "this circle has light moderation" (no porn or such) and we could look if we wanted to, without breaking rules on established circles.
That's /o/women
Not exactly. /o/Women does have rules and we don't want every or any kind of topic. But it is a place for women to talk about most topics that don't belong elsewhere.
Every place needs rules honestly. Especially with this being a controversial site, a rule free space would be taken over by trolls very quickly. /o/women states "as long as you're a woman it's all free to go here." So if there are topics that aren't allowed, they haven't been disclosed to users and there doesn't appear to be any circle specific rules other than the sitewide rules and guidelines as opposed to other circles that state specific rules that apply just to that circle plus the sitewide rules. But that's all just from what I can view as a user.
The rules are here and in the sidebar: https://ovarit.com/o/Women/23344/welcome-to-o-women-info-rules-chat-room-update
Yes that's what I was referring to.
Where did your quote come from? As far as I can tell it came from this paragraph but you removed it from the context which provides a great deal more clarification. The rest of the text provides further rules.
My mistake, I meant that there aren't many rules. Like I said, I'm opposed to completely rule-free spaces.
Gotcha!
