No, they don't work. People start bashing others and then they get shut down. Just like that one forum section.

There are several secret subforums that exist right now which are going along just fine.

Good for them! I'm just saying that most don't work out because someone ruins it.

But all the men can say go I LOVE VAGINAS and let's talk about penis size... i.e. it's not OK for everyone else, just don't stick your head out there too far mmK?
I don't think you genuinely have any idea what you just said, so I'm not goint to take it personally. Tbh, you're just proving my point why we need our own forum... we can't expect everyone to want to welcome the womenz with open arms... because they are the minority here and need to act a certain way and not talk about certain things...not exactly heartwarming right?
I understand the extreme of what you're saying. I'm not here to throw a bra burning party. But damn it, I'm a female! |
Glad I could help!
you're to awesome to have your own forum section.

I was granted temporary mod status and access to a secret sub-forum some of the mods and veteran users had on another site. Unfortunately, they forgot to hide their "talk trash about other members" thread. I was pissed off and disillusioned enough that I walked away from my mod duties and the website entirely for a few months. I'm not saying that would happen here but I don't like the potential existing. It doesn't seem fair to me. Having the thread as a kind of club where only female club-members could post would fine, but I'm against the secrecy part. |
I don't doubt that happens to some extent at most forums with moderation. When you spend so much time on a site, it's not unbelievable to want to vent about some of it behind other people's backs, especially when decisions have to be made about banning users. That happens behind people's backs all the time for sure. It doesn't have to be on-site, could just be between people in IM and that theoretically messes up the balance of power. At least from experience... I've done adminning and modding before... seen a lot of that kind of stuff. It's the internet so drama is inevitable.
I'm not too worried about it, because most of the time, all females like to talk about is each other, their guy problems and the stuff that bothers them (i.e. asking for support), ask for advice, etc... Moderators unchecked can ban whoever and whatever if the system is allowed to get that way in the first place...
What exactly would you talk about in this secret forum?
Also, I'm of the opinion that 4 of every 5 female users are VGChartz are actually males in disguise.
