What tools are available to room owners?
Room owners are users that have some elevated permissions in a chatroom. Typically, they will be the first line of defense when it comes to inappropriate content or behavior in a room. Users will look to the room owners to guide the room. The room owners...
A big part of it was me getting pissed about the queer bashing stuff.
Their response tended to be "You can't talk about stuff like that on the internet" which seemed kinda crappy.
Like "Hey, we deserve some space on the internet too. I'm fighting for something important for people like us. You should get that, not because you like the internet, but because you like equal rights"
They seem to kinda get it now, but there's little sympathy when things turn shitty.
Or you could find someone else to talk to about things? I have had chats outside SE with a few people when I really couldn't expect Andy to "get" things... because it took too much work to explain.
@Catija I talk to my friend, the one I asked the question about yesterday, occasionally. She tends to be a bit more internet fluent, but Twitter and Facebook are her stomping grounds.
I didn't go online much back then, so when I did, I usually signed in with my girlfriend's account. And would very often get hit on by random internet creepers.
@apaul I have a Twitter for the etsy shop and two others before I realized you can change your twitter handle and name entirely... I have a FB account for Hippo and one for me... and the pages are... one for my shop, a few for past jobs... that sort of thing... nothing I really "manage".
Yeah, but I got lazy about actually making them and I never really got much in the way of views... and there's a lot of people selling things like that.
I think Andy would, too... he used to pester me, asking if I could apply for a job here... but I always told him that there were much more experienced mods who would probably get the job way before I did... and then they had the layoffs and who knows if they'll hire again any time soon.
Eh, lots of good questions come without bullshit baggage.
Edit reasons are in really tiny print on mobile and I missed one of the comments on first scan. Figured it may have been from a removed comment or something.
@apaul Yeah... I'm not sure I understand the excuse, either... I mean... I don't avoid talking about my relationship with my husband with people who are LGBT...
And talking about a relationship is a good way to hint at who you're attracted to... it's not exclusive... but it does something...
My friend, Rebecca, always brags about everything - such as "I got a better test score than you," and its really annoying. She is kind of shy, I would say, but sometimes she's kind of rude.
I'm 12. She is 10. I'm a lot older than her but we still hang out.
How can I tell her when she is being ...
