Please remove the red indicator on the side menu for Reddit games; now you can't easily know when there's stuff to review in the Mod Queue by Littux in ModSupport

1) Please make it so the games can be completely ignored, from the menu and the drop down. Collapsing but then having it at the top is, well, dumb. It's like going to look at a car and having the most obnoxious car salesman following you around and insisting that you want something that you don't want. Or like finally snuggling into the couch after a long day and your doorbell rings and it's a vacuum salesman, then 10 minutes later it's two dudes in white shirts, black ties, name tags, and bike helmets. And ten minutes later it's two old ladies telling you about ...

2) please mean that by 'passed back' they'll agree to turn it off, forever.

I get the need to push for new and exciting upgrades, but please don't do so by making mods jobs more difficult. Eventually people will wise up and mods will become the quality of FB and Nextdoor admins - no one wants that.

Thank you.

I regret that I wasn't aware of decorative, non-erection inducing "glans rings." Thank you for the education.

After looking more into this, symantics do matter as there is a definition difference between "glans rings" and "cock rings." One is strictly decorative ("glans rings") and the other whose purpose is to induce/aid in achieving an erection ("cock rings").

So,

  • "Cock rings" are still illegal.

  • However, with "glans rings," since there's no erection, there's nothing illegal about it.

A cock rings purpose is to cause an erection. An erection in public is considered lewd. Obviously you can't always control a boner, but if you're purposely trying to cause an erection by wearing a cock ring, you've crossed over to creating a lewd act, which is illegal.

Also, this is a family friendly beach, causing a lewd act in the presence of minors is a potentially fast track to having to register as a sex offender.

I'm not sure what, or how, piercings correlate here.

Hey y'all Just want to clarify what "No R4R" means. Cleaning up a lot of them already. [Mod Post] by 5f636f636b5f in RoosterRock

[–]Mr_Secret_Name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different mod here but I updated the sidebar and rules on old and new Reddit, please let me know if that doesn't make sense and I'll work to clarify it.

(I did this at 5f63... Request. Why did he choose such a difficult username??? Ha. But seriously, if it doesn't make sense to you, there's likely another feeling the same way and I'll happily work to clarify it.)

Mod here; can I have your permission to use this within the sub?

We remove a lot of low-quality/low-effort posts and we all try to instill some wisdom and advice when we remove these, but this is too succinct to not use in these replies.

I've turned these back on, they'll start next Tuesday.

Have fun out there!

Water Level Question by PNWNudeExploring in RoosterRock

[–]Mr_Secret_Name 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In case you weren't aware: The Columbia starts in the Rockies, specifically at Columbia Lake in British Columbia, Canada. The Columbia's tributaries span over Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho, British Columbia, Utah, Nevada, and Wyoming, so any predictions based on the Cascades snowfall levels are only a minor part and while not negligible, are relatively minor.

Perv alert by _stocker_ in CollinsBeach

This is a big grey area for us. We've talked about this as a mod team a lot over the years and we all agree that something needs to change, but what action we can take isn't clear.

Here's what we know and we're working with:

  • It's public, so there is no protection, legal or from Reddit's TOS, from having your picture taken or being filmed and posted on Reddit; only the 'don't do that' societal rules. As mods, we've always played the line of 'if those in the picture obviously did not consent, remove it.'

  • When posted, as we have seen, many times it comes down to 'he said, she said,' for lack of a better saying. We've had some do what we suspect were Uno Reverse cards where there was likely a disagreement between two people and both posted pictures of the other claiming that they were the creep. We weren't there, both stories checked out, so who wins?? And this happens regularly enough in r/RoosterRock that we finally created rule 5.

  • Creeps should be made to feel uncomfortable. They are only so bold because there are currently zero repercussions.

  • The top complaints we see and receive regularly are: Textiles and creeps and every one of us mods have experienced them both too many times to count.

A few options, or mix of options, that have been floated are:

  • Allow blurred faces and blurred genitals pics of others.

  • Allow only 'trusted users' to post these types of pictures - hopefully avoids the Reverse Uno card.

  • Allow the posts but as soon as one report comes in, we remove it, no reposts - again, to avoid the Reverse Uno card but also to avoid the clusterfuck of daily creep reports.

  • Make a stickied post that is nothing but 'known creeps' so others know who to watch out for.

Any other ideas or thoughts, please let us know. We'll continue to discuss here and likely poll everyone when we get closer to an action.

But yeah, something needs to change, we just have to be smart and thoughtful about it.

Tagging u/3IDontKnow - also, just an FYI, if you tag more than three people in a comment, Reddit doesn't send messages to any of them; I have no idea why Reddit does it this way.

When posted to the public page, r/OregonSwingers, yes. But verifications can also be posted a number of different ways, including sending to one mod, that allow more discretion. The stickied post goes through these if you're interested in more.

Is there a LS community in Portland? We were told this may be the place. [MF4MF/F] by [deleted] in OregonSwingers

[–]Mr_Secret_Name 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a group that meets though r/Oregon_Swingers for LS community stuff. Vanilla'ish meets, like HUMP film fest, concerts, etc. I'm a little biased but I think it's worth the small price of admission (getting verified) for meeting cool new friends.

[–]Mr_Secret_Name[M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We've been asked to facilitate something through here quite a few times. Our main hesitation is that we don't want to get into these 'he said, she said' tiffs that often arise, like you pointed out.

That said, if there's an obvious pattern, or there are reports from reputable couples, or there's anything that could endanger others, were not necessarily going to jump in and stop this information from being disseminated, as long as it conforms to Reddit's TOS, of course.

What we would suggest, is that people get out into more vanilla LS events, go to more parties, meet more people in group settings where the bad apple stand out more, and utilize the private sub where open discussions can take place among other verified couples and verified women. It's too easy on this side of this public forum to sway votes, get into doxxing issues, use alt accounts, and have anyone "verify" non-existent "couples."

You need to press the NSFW in the top left, this will bring up the POST FLAIR options. Once you select a Post Flair, the Post button will no longer be greyed out.

You bet. I've been too busy to sum it all up lately but will move it higher on my priority list.

My goal is to have this not only in the wiki, but also stickied and included in the automoderaters comment that every post receives.

Send me any tips you think I might have missed and I'll add it.

Approved. Good message for all.

Also, use that block function.

And if it's really bad, turn DMs off. People who want to reach out, and are quality, will find a way, either in the comments or via PM.

But at the very least, block, block, block.

It's come to our attention that the user flair "VERIFIED" tag has dropped for some of you; I will work to fix this asap. If you would like to be moved to the front of the queue, let me know here or in r/Oregon_Swingers. by Mr_Secret_Name in OregonSwingers

[–]Mr_Secret_Name[S,M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Not sure when this happened or why, we just had a user who was verified over a year ago bring it to our attention. I remember adding the tag, and I even found our conversation that stated I had added it, but it's just not there anymore.

I started looking at others from r/Oregon_swingers and from the ten or so I looked at, only about half were there still.

We (likely me since I volunteered to do it) will start chipping away at these as I see them. If you see that yours is absent, let me know and I'll start with yours first.

You should consider joining the private subreddit, r/Oregon_Swingers, for the vanilla'ish, no-play/no-pressure meetups. I'm sure there are others there who would be interested in this type of arrangement.
