Title: Anyone else find it strange program staff moderate fornits?
Post by: Anonymous on December 04, 2010, 03:10:22 PM
Quote from: "the gatekeeper"
I worked at a wilderness program (http://http://www.fornits.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=31636&start=30#p388202)

Well fornits sure ain't what it used to be. Expensive program lawyers, powerful law firms, Sue Scheff and Co., nobody could shut down fornits and kill it's spirit, that is, until Psy took over. We have been told we are being protected for our own good with the numerous restrictions imposed by Psy, but the evidence shows now that it only hurts fornits, and the ability to have discussions, which is the entire point of this place to begin with.

Now we have program staff censoring, moving and chopping up our posts. They get to decide whether we are "on topic" enough, or if our posts should remain. I find this repugnant, and I truly wonder whether the owner of fornits had a seizure, or what. It's like fornits has entered upside down world, where staffers are still in control, and survivors get banned for saying the wrong thing.

Does anybody else remember the old days of fornits? When it was tan and orange, and you could post anonymously and your avatar would be a paper bag head? Fornits actually served a useful purpose back then, when the people who created the content on fornits retained the ability to post where they wanted, about whatever they wanted, and respond to whomever they felt like. Now it feels like fornits is run by an obsessive compulsive, communist. Or perhaps, program staff.

Psy isn't even a program survivor. He was an adult who signed himself into drug treatment, a program for 18-27 year olds. His entire program was payed for courtesy of you and me, the US taxpayer. He could have walked out at any point. He was never abused, or mistreated. He thinks he got duped into signing himself into treatment, sorry, but stupidity and such child like acquiescence to parents demands does not make you a survivor.

So we have an adult who went to rehab, and wasn't abused, running fornits, and who does he pick for his main censor/moderator? A program staffer. Fornits has been getting slower and slower, and posters have left in droves. The reason is simple, restricting speech does not, and will not work. Fornits must return itself to it's original ideals of free speech and expression if it expects to stay relevant, and online. Ursus, Troll Patrol, Anne Bonne and Robert Bruce arguing with Whooter, is all that is left of fornits.

It's not too late. Remove Psy as admin, remove all moderators and all moderation and go back to the orange/tan color scheme. Otherwise fornits will eventually suffer the fate of every other forum Psy has had control of, it will die.

If Fornits could be run without being hit by tons of spam, porn etc. which scare the important viewers off (which is parents and other people trying to seek a desperate solution for their kids), then the moderation should go.

I have asked for moderation several times and my arguments was shut down by both Psy and Ginger. Suddenly one they did choose otherwise. I disagree with some of their actions. A lot of my posts in the "Open Free for All" got burried when they locked this sub-forum instead of making a new one for a special purpose, but I have to accept it. It is their message board. It is their money which keeps it open. Maybe they have altered their opinion based on the trouble with CALO. How far can you go when we are talking the right to free speech? Not so far as we think. Even here in Denmark things are changing. A member of our parliament was fined because he spoke out against honor killings (http://http://wp.me/pqyOF-55).

It you dont like the trend on Fornits, there are other message boards. Anti-wwasp is open. Troubled Teen industry is open. Fican is open.

But I also feel that the blogs have taken over. When people are telling their stories, they can get the message out in a blog. When we at Spft work to supply the wiki with information we often speak with survivors and get them to create a new blog rather than having them post on a message board where their story would be buried in pro-program thread in seconds.

We believe that getting the story of anyone told is important, so we support syndicating of stories like they do in the Swedish controlled Tales from the Black school blog (http://http://tales-from-the-black-school.blogspot.com/).

I feel that there is a large potential in quoting good testimonies and republish them in a new environment. Actually the industry does the same, so it could be the next big thing now where the message boards themselves are somewhat tamed.

Seems all I ever see is Whooter acting out.
BS in the Elan thread by the master of screen names, and his puppet
and my response to them
People dont want to read that garbage. I will say that the "Freedom of speech" is a god given right. But it was not meant to protect an abuser from justice. As a result of this, and failure to reign in the abusers,many people that used to post here are simply ot interested.
Also,the asscociation of their names,statements,and horrible things said about them, picked up by google has made several stay away permenently
Which will soon be my next step
Regards

 Something needed to be done about what the board had become if it was to be a place where any kind of meaningful dialog and debate could take place. It does seem that things have gone to far the other way. I'd advise trying to find a minimal level of moderating to keep the board from becoming useless swill. I have always advocated as much. The problem seems to be (as Ginger always said it would be) who gets to decide?

Yes, I do, and I even saved a lot of those pages (the whole page, not just bookmarks) because I had an intermittent connection back then (used dial-up, had to keep the line open sometimes) and did a lot of reading off line.. yeah i remember it.. it was cool aside from the fact that there were security issues, technically speaking. I agree that a lot of the moderation seems to be an exercise in futility, but don't really see it as doing that much harm. Perhaps there is something more important to complain about?

I, too, miss the old days. It's hard to realize those days are over,but I think the devolution of Fornits was a confluence of factors and can't be placed squarely on Psy's shoulders.

The spirit of Fornits began to disintegrate when more people were permitted to moderate - not all of them acquainted with a program, a sense of discretion, or a sense of camaraderie. In the old days, things could get raw and a but wild, but there was an underlying sense of solidarity. Things that undermined this was:
1. Sustained infighting between moderators.  
2. Serious discretionary violations from new moderators.  Even if pro program people were targeted, it undermined trust and the willingness to put your stuff out there.
3. Whooter's persistent and pervasive flooding, misdirecting, and derailing. Many of us, myself included, have responded, perhaps stupidly so.  But it was difficult not to because he effectively eroded the spirit and purpose of this site with his deluge of sabotage. (Yeah, I don't need to get into a big brouhaha with Whooter, but I do think his presence has had a significant negative impact.)

The combination of these factors created a clusterfuck of devolutionary proportion. Probably the Straight crew is strongest. But I've heard a few say  they would never have shared what they've shared here initially if they walked into the current environment.  I wouldn't have either.  It's a shame, because the sense of validation and support this site initially offered was tremendous, and I'm still grateful for it.

I don't think we can get that back. It's been spiraling downward since 2006.  It's like trying to save a dead relationship on the basis of a beautiful memory. Some of us still come back for the figurative sex with an ex, but it's not the same as those heady days.

Samara,
Not to be a sad sack but if you keep talking like this then who is going to want to come back or stay (if your new). Fornits can continue to evolve, everything changes especially the members. Life changes for many marriages, divorces, babies, job changes, no job, mental and emotional turmoils, lack of passion and so on.
This Whooter situation as far as I can see has been on the fence for a few years. Nobody seems to want to deal with it on their watch. He is obstructing and manipulating threads this is extremely obvious, some want to deal with it others don't but you all agree he is a shill. Just business Whooter, "we can all agree on this", right.  :D
People are still coming here (I did) and I have found some friends in just the short time I have been here.
So we may be in a flux right now it will get better, I'm counting on it.

So what Joel, why don't you start a fight with someone else. Look at the IP's. Danny also told me you PM'd him and asked him to continue to post, what is up with that. Were you trying to set us up to see if were one in the same. Your behavior is deplorable if you stooped so low to PM someone with a apparent request to see them come back only to use them. Also another of your abusive actions;  you had taken a post he deleted and abused your powers as a moderator and posted it anyway. You know which one.

It seems your sincerity is under scrutiny here recently Joel. Why don't you keep your own backyard clean. DJ and None Ya have spoken about it. You are very vindictive, Joel.

When you can grow up and conduct yourself maturely on this site, I will listen to your points a little more intently. I have seen your progress since I have gotten here, it doesn't appear any better then before. Why??  Just before you became a moderator you went around and erased a slue of your posts, the ones you felt would make you look bad. I don't know how many other people noticed this but I did.
Joel your whole character is in question in my eyes, so get off me. Just worry about who your supposed to be, find a personality and stick with it.

No you did not, if you had his post would not have been deleted. Joel your intentions are to manipulate people for your own purposes. I saw this coming when I arrived here at fornits. You are not someone who values integrity at all, people are starting to see this. I believe it is just immaturity and not so much malicious but time will tell.
Joel the only appealing that will be done is to your consciousness.

I disagree on the integrity, heretik.  Would you questioned my integrity before the issue me being a staffer came up?  Tis a fair question, "just sayin" :D.  I don't have the power to delete people's posts but you already knew that.

I did question your integrity when I first got here, when you enjoyed harassing me constantly by PM and on the board, thinking I was Danny.
I did not say you deleted anything, I said you took a deleted post and re-posted it.
On the subject of you being a past employee, I personally don't care whether you were staff or not. I don't believe anyone else would either if we did not have to deal with your lack of discipline when you are confronted. Your reactions resemble staff who were inadequately screened and/or trained for their positions.
Joel I am not looking to fight with you, honestly. It gains us nothing. Just stop manipulating people here for your own reasons.
Paranoid, no Joel I am not. I don't care when it gets right down to it, who you think I am and what IP address I choose to post from, if Danny posts 2 minutes after me or before me. I am done with that crap. I'll let you play with it from here on out.

In order to be on staff you have to walk locksteo with the program.

And just so we are all clear on one thing;

THERE IS ABSOLUTLY NO WAY IN HELL I COULD HAVE BEEN COHEARSED INTO BEING 1 OF THEM !

No hard feelings from me but my 10 year old would kick your ass. He is a major cat lover. He seriously believes that any one who hurts a cat should be given the death penalty. I like dogs a lot, but need to wait for my life to get less busy to give it the companionship it needs.

Either way, pets are easier than people. At least they won't drive you to therapy.

Joel only goes after the people that push back on his BS.  Ass kissers and siblings get a free ride.

To dump this at the feet of PSY is well........pathetic. Shit was out of hand here for a while,and the place needed a hall monitor, I mean most bars NEED a doorman right . as long as the doorman aint a tyrant.......wheres the problem? Ive been posting on here a long time,Im an X staff member, Have absolutly no desire to moderate a goddamn thing....but have no problem that stuff stays loosely ordered.I will admit though the name gatekeeper did freak me out a bit but...thats just coincidences on my end.....nothing worth goin into....
   As far as the x staff member thing goes, id ask that anyone who wishes to judge an x staff member only do it on the here and now. What they  post and the intent of that post in the present. Its been my experience that many x staff members had an outside adgenda by becoming staff,had the intention of making a program into something better ,and though nieve at best good intent . When the shine of that wears thin, and realities set in they quit. Besides ,x staff members have a historical and behind the scenes type of insight that is invaluable in a way.

I agree with the OP.  This place used to be cool, used to be fun, etc.  But it sucks now.  Hell, I don't even troll here anymore under any of my many user names.....it seems like this is as good a place as any to boast of my marijuana use ('cause I probably DO smoke better, and more, pot than you do), but other than that, it's been lame for a while now.

Bring back Dr. Fucktard!!!!!

Indeed, druggie.. Id say most people here are WAY out of touch with their programs...

Looks like it's time for them to pull that chain on the side of their head and flush their minds!

Turns out this forum is moderated
by Guest420 ยป 06 Dec 2010, 11:52

How ironic is it that the thread I created to complain about the overzealous moderating, was itself moderated. In a forum, that is supposedly an "open free for all" and unmoderated. My post was moved, all because the moderator, a program staffer, decided on a whim to do it. Welcome to the new fornits.

Looks like the owner of this site finally weighed in on the topic of program staffers censoring posters here:
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=32073&start=30#p388374
What an utterly disappointing and disheartening response.

I remember many times on fornits survivors having their information posted, or pictures or them, of other humiliating personal information. They would beg the site owner to remove their information. The response was a long, usually impassioned rhetorical post about the ideals of freedom of speech. It sort of made me angry, why can't they just use their power to remove the info and help their fellow survivors?, I thought. But in the end, I accepted that the ideal of free speech meant some people would get hurt, and giving people free expression was the best way to stimulate and produce an interesting, real, and meaningful conversation.

What shocks me most about the recent changes to fornits, from a free place to a program like lock down forum, is the complete and utter abandonment of the ideals expressed so often by people like Psy and Antigen in the past. It's very disappointing to now watch these same people making arguments in complete disagreement with their selves, just months and years ago, arguments now in favor of censorship and control.

"Having an ex steffer moderate dialog betwween program survivors,is like having an ex nazi moderate dialog between holocaust survivors."

Shindler was a high ranking Nazi in good standing when he did his thing and Solzhenitsyn was a high ranking Soviet officer on the day of his arrest.

Instead of trying to convince us of the need for free speech, we now have this site owner trying to convince us program staff censors are comparable to Schlindler. Pardon my skepticism, but did "thegatekeeper", the staffer moderator, risk their life to free kids from a program? I doubt it. More than likely they took a paycheck and did what they were told.

As a program survivor, I suppose I have a bias against program staff. They were bullies who took money to keep kids prisoner, and some took pleasure in their new found positions of power. The fact that the one and only place that allowed free expression relating to programs, is now being structured just like it was a program, is so contrary to the original ideals I learned fornits stood for, it's almost beyond belief. The irony couldn't be any more apparent.

How can people not see how wrong it is to have a program staff censoring and controlling survivors mode of communication? This is precisely what takes place inside of programs. To not understand this means that either you don't understand the inner workings of programs, or whatever passion you might have had relating to your experience has long faded, because only a heartless person could institute such a policy, and not recognize the hypocrisy and irony.

Not only is fornits "not what it used to be", it is becoming the very thing it claims to fight against. So enjoy your program like forum, where your posts are combed over by a staffer, and only approved posts will remain. Remember when you wrote letters home telling your parents how bad the program was? Well the moderator here was the one censoring those letters too, so it looks like we've come full circle.

This is the last you'll hear from me, because at this point it's clear that the entire leadership here is in agreement that control, censorship, and restriction is the way to move forward with this forum. But by restricting the very people who compose the entire content of this website, it will only hurt fornits in the long run. Unfortunately I believe this new policy is going to be the final nail in the coffin of this once wonderful forum called fornits. It was fun while it lasted.Guest420

or the whooter is telling the truth and you spent like 3 weeks max there.

hard to say with a loudmouth like you.

and the gatekeeper doesn't moderate me cause that is psy's detail. no conflict of interest that way or some lame shit.

I've never come off at anybody here like that . Not ever. Nor will I.Your juvenille insults do not intimidate me. They do however reflect on you. Because therein lies the quality of your character as well as your vocabulary.

you  aren't allowed to make any  judgments on character when it was you who  kicked off this whole pathetic frenzy about ex-staff moderating a web forum. When you conveniently, for  your own purposes I'm sure, overlook the fact that  the  moderator was a survivor of a program that was probably  far more psychologically  insidious  that your  little Seed faggotry.

The problem with you  is you  are acting like an asshurt bitch.  The gatekeeper cockslapped you  and you  you  are running to  catch up  to  protect your e-manhood.

So frankly, I don't give a flying fuck  what you think or say. Go  fuck yourself and  go fuck  that  little asshole buddy  robbie bruce as well. Both of you  cocksuckers deserve each  other for the  rampant faggotry  you've both unleashed on these forums with this bullshit about going  after a mod who is trying to do the  job he  was asked to do.

Don't think  I  forgot your attacks on  Deprogrammed you  sorry  son of a bitch. you  are calling my character into question when you are conveniently  ignoring  truths about a mod and  have attacked a woman who was lucking for support in a time of crisis.

Again, go fuck  yourself with  a huge bucket of dildos you piece of shit.

And don't worry  I'm sure psy  will be along one  of these days to ban me.  Fuck  if  I  care. Most of my  best work has always been when I was well proxied up.

I've got to say, I think it's adorable how much you think you know, yet are somehow wrong about everything. It sounds like somethings really got your panties in a twist. Maybe you should take a step back from fornits and focus on that. As bitter as you seem it wouldnt surprise me if a random killing spree isn't on your to-do list already. Get help soon son.

Besides I never knew he was ex-staff until he outed himself. What did he think would happen? This whole thing is on him, and all the insults that you can think of (even the ones with dildos) can't change that.

Fuck if I know. I've been warned a couple times before. No worries, this has gotten so boring that I'm about done. I can't think up of insults like I used to be able to.

You do not cuss a None ya out of love and if you believe that I would hate to see your girlfriend after you to had a fight. Her black eyes and broken jaw were out of love too, I guess. I have been here 2 months and you have shown your ass the whole time, not just to me either. Your wholesale abuse of anyone who remotely threatens you, is not some little nuance of your personality that can be overlooked. You enjoy abusing people and it doesn't matter who they are.
 
Yeah, OK, just for you Che,  I'll be drunkin motherfuckin DannyB. Happy now??
Merry Christmas
