Mama, take this badge from me I can't use it

This is actually the second draft to this. This is the first time that I have ever done a second draft. I usually just rattle something off and present it as is. I may do some proofreading or clarify some things, but usually these things are visceral. Why is there a second draft? Well, because half way through, I realized I was writing a bunch of horseshit. What do you do with horseshit? You click, drag, and delete it. I didn't realize I was typing rubbish until I got to a certain point. That's when the truth of why I resigned finally hit me. Some of you have heard my complaints and reason for leaving. I wasn't lying to you. I was just holding back something not only from you but myself. It's impossible to speak the truth when you are in denial yourself.

In the very first hour of reviewing I came across some vile u******e material. This was not kind of u******e material that busybodies wring their hands over, The photos which aren't appropriate here, but would be fine anywhere else: k**s in a background in a public place or a photo of a k** with a funny description under the bottom are good examples. No, This was hardcore nude porn. The kind of porn that you call the FBI about.

So, what did I do? I hit the the favorite button to track the uploader and hit u******e on the panel. That was about it. That was all I could do. That is the problem. When I went to my favorites, they were deleted. I had no idea who did it or what if anything that happened. These photos were treated in the same manner that copyright and zoo hentai photos are. Copyright and Hentai are not crimes in themselves. They just aren't allowed here. They are allowed elsewhere, but not here. These c***d photos are not allowed anywhere because they in themselves ARE a crime. A c***d's life is not ruined running along the beach from the cops with a caption under it reading: Fuck tha' police. What I saw caused damage and those two c***dren are still feeling the damage.

Seeing these photos were very upsetting and the results of my correct actions were unsatisfying. This is the first time I have ever seen anything like this. It was very upsetting. It's one thing to imagine something and quite another to actually see it. As far as I know the uploader's account is still open. The authorities will not be notified and he will more than likely do it again. If I have to go through the sickening experience of having to see this vile garbage, I want steps taken that make sure that the party responsible won't do it again. I did what I was supposed to do, but I feel the site didn't. The site dealt with these photos as if they were inappropriate content. These photos were not inappropriate content they were CRIMINAL content.

One of the main reasons I volunteered to do this was to get rid of crap like this. But, with the way the system is set up, it's never going to happen. Why? Because there really are no consequences to the uploaders. What was the punishment? They got there photos taken down. What's to stop them from taking the same photos and reposting them? There is nothing to stop him. So, what's the point? Anyone could have done what I did. So, why not just turn in my badge and let just anyone do it? The same nothing result occurs whether I'm here or not. It seems like my services are rather disposable and replaceable. There are plenty of people waiting in line to take my place. I'll just let them.

There has to be a certain satisfaction in a job if I want to do it. That's what this was. I looked at it as a job. When I worked I never liked the job, but I liked the money. That was my satisfaction. This was a volunteer job. If I volunteer for something it's to help and make a difference. I didn't feel like I did. I also didn't see myself ever really making much of a difference.

The fact that I saw this in my first hour tells me that this is a problem. The silver lining in this is the fact that I have never seen anything like this in the public at large. That tells me that the reviewers slaving away in their panels are getting the job done when it comes to this and for that I thank them. The people running this site is another story. From what I have seen and heard this is the best that can be done. When I see a problem, I want a solution. Continuously deleting photos from the same uploaders time and time again is simply treating a symptom. It's not solving anything.

Post script. Yes, I know the lyrics, but they chopped off the word "Anymore".

till jacking_preacher : Or on a cattle farm. I used to raise bottle calves. I was basically their mother. I had to shoot some of them in the head. I know about life. The main difference between that situation and this on is that I had an emotional and financial stake in that situation. The same can't be said here. That's why the badge was disposed of.

My 2 cents on the matter are as simple as: If it doesn't affect large, the effect is negligible, hence the reaction is minimal.

Welcome to life dearie... on the other hand we all ought to spend our next summer in Dhaka to grasp the concept...

till thailock : Do you know why I always leave and come back? I kept seeing this as merely a website and not what it really is. It's a representation of the world in all it's beauty and ugliness. I get angry at the ugliness and the injustice. My rationale for leaving is that I don't have to deal with the ugliness on other sites. They are sanitized for my enjoyment and entertainment. But, I always come back here because there is something hollow and empty on those sites. You can't have beauty without ugliness. Y

till thailock : What worried me the most was that I would keep going just to keep going and one day I would see something like this and it wouldn't bother or upset me. I believe when something like this occurs something in you dies. The badge isn't worth that.

till thailock : I am a very passionate person as you well know. It is obvious that you cannot get emotionally involved in the inner workings of this job. I can't do that. A lot of people can, but I can't. Does that make me less or more than you? No. Just different.

till thailock : But, like I said in the blog. I haven't seen any of this in the public at large. Now, that I am not a reviewer, I can blissfully pretend that it isn't even happening just as I do in real life. I can enjoy the sausage without watching it be made.

They need to communicate that they are doing something. They haven't. How many times have you heard the complaint: "They deleted the content but not the profile. Why?". I've heard it a lot. Saying a task is impossible so therefore nothing will be done is not acceptable.

till thailock : Luca, you missed the point. What I am complaining about is that I took the correct action of marking this material as underage. When I take action, I want to know what the consequences were, in other words: answers. All I have are questions. Who was this? Is his profile deleted? Did they they track him? Did they contact the proper authorities? Are there more photos in this profile? I have no way of knowing anything. I don't like that. I'm not a bureaucrat. These things matter.

On many things I agree with you, but it's hard do of more that delete the material inappropriate, because is very easy to create of new profiles, in fact so many uploaders have more than 1, and also because the site has need of great numbers and can not be too strict nor selective because the other sites, they are much, much less strict than we do. Greetings :smile:

till _juno_ : The role of reviewers is largely misunderstood by most Hamsters. They're thought of like the site's Rat Squad. I think there's as much power in the office as some might believe, but there it is. I've more than a few friends who participate in it, but like I told you before, I want no part of it. Just because it seems to be more of a juvenile politics play than anything else. Kids in class lording their places over others, when actually they're paper tigers. Fatuous nonsense.

i might have been able to get through this if I had someone to talk to about it. I just didn't know who to talk to. All I heard was that a bunch of people were pissed that I got a badge. The only two Reviewers that welcomed me aboard were Nova and Hunger65. It's hard to open up when you feel unwanted.

I'm sure Bob Dylan might understand about the lyric Julia. Just as I'm sure I agree with your position. The goings on here are flaccid in their enforcement in some areas, and ridiculously rigid in others. Hamster is run by a bunch of mentally impaired baboons. And the yo-yo's that cling to what amount of authority or responsibility have no concept as to their true purpose. It's a shit way to run a railroad, let alone a Porn site.
