This is a good thing to blog...thanks.

Thanks for the feedback DJ. I'll try to do it most Mondays. -Angela

Hmmm... I wonder why people only use GOLO during the week?

There is nothing but filth on the weekend blogs. I logged in Saturday and Sunday and quickly backed out. There were blogs trashing other individuals, then retaliation blogs for those blogs.

Half of them violated the TOS, but because they are in the "popular crowd", moderators turn a blind eye. Such a shame and waste.

Marge, at least those didn't make it to the "most viewed" list. Perhaps that in itself shows that the numbskulls who post BS really are in the minority.

Marge: Moderators do not "turn a blind eye" on the weekends. GOLO does not have a team of moderators, not even during the week. There is nothing screened before posting, other than avatars. Perhaps you should try another weekend, or dig a little deeper. I'm hoping you clicked "report abuse" on anything that may have violated the TOS. That is what we need from our members. -Angela

Angela, I'm begging you to please spare me. I've hit the abuse button over and over again, it's a waste of time. You all do nothing and only enforce what you want to enforce.

There's a certain poster that had two blogs up last week, using other GOLOers quotes to defame them. I hit the button at least 20 times, but it's still up.

Don't let me forget my all time favorite:

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5252326/

I probably hit abuse on that 100 times.

Just admit it, you all enforce the TOS when YOU want to, not when it's violated. The bad thing about double standards, is that it always has the potential to back fire. Keep that in mind, if you so choose.

You know, I was just thinking... the three people I'm ignoring are some of the worst abusers, but if I ignore them, I won't be able to report abuse on them. Perhaps I should un-ignore them just for that reason, though reporting abuse doesn't seem to do much.

If you don't like the content, don't look at it or read it. Pretty simple.

GOLO definately has a click group and there's nothing wrong with that. However, it's one of the things that has made GOLO unattractive for many others. But, this is just one small stop on the big Internet.

There are no double standards. And not all abuse reports are created equal. There is a system behind the scenes and the way it works cannot be disclosed. Not saying this is the case with you Marge, but if someone abuses the abuse button, their reports ultimately will not register. Please understand that I am not reading GOLO all day every day, nor can I see everything. It doesn't work that way. So yes, some things will slip through the cracks. This is a large community. Again, this is why the community reporting matters. And there is no way I know even 1/3 of the things members assume I know. If you want to talk more, send an e-mail to golo@wral.com. BTW, I did remove that post you just shared. -Angela
