Peer Answers. Peer Support. Period.

LiveWire is very supportive, but recently there has been an excess of unacceptable content that members are justifying by saying "people have posted worse" or "everyone knows I was only joking." Telling someone to kill themselves is not a joke, anyone promoting self-harm or suicide on LiveWire in the future will be banned on the spot. No joke.

Examples of unacceptable posts by members:

Member Britz posted:
---
"Shoot people, blow their f*cking brains all over the walls, knife them in the guts and anally violent young children with a baseball bat, then you should definantly get a pair of scissors and cut yourself."
---

Member MorningStar posted:
---
"Bomb it.  Yes, that's what I said, just blow up the whole thing.
It's always the goddamn solution to anything.  Those fuckers at Columbine?  Pure amateurs.  Bunch of lame-ass pussies, they should die.  Oh wait, they did, but only before bring a bunch of other losers down with them.  What was the death count, 12, 13 people?  Goddamn, that's nothing. Seriously, all you need is a little bit gasoline or something, maybe a little C4. "

These two members have been docked all of their points and have been stripped of their support leader status. They can start from zero, but they can keep their membername and data.

The next member to cross this line will not be so lucky, they will simply be banned.

As you know, I was obviously trying to be banned, with the intention of making a point.

I no longer have this intention, as I am trying, along with a few other members, to fix LiveWire and get rid of the corruption.

David, by creating this topic and failing to address my concerns, you opened up a can of worms.

Are you more concerned with Peer Support, or your own power?  As I am seriously questioning this right about now.

I am somewhat curious if less prominent and lets face it ...cool as fuck memebers had made similar transgresions they would have made this post, rather than just banning them outright.

His power is hardly in question. Even were there an exodus of older members, the deficit would be more than made up with by unrelenting hordes of teeny-boppers.

And is this what Peer Support is?  Having little 13-year-old girls asking for sex and ASL?  If that's Peer Support, then Peer Support is a crock of sh[/i]it.

Correct, his power is not in question, but the question is - is he making the most of it?

Anyone who took Britz' or MorningStar's advice was seriously messed up to start with, and it was a matter of time before they did something regardless of what some internet person wrote. But we all know that no one did. So why did you "punish" MorningStar (I don't like Britz so I won't talk about him)? His topics were oddly funny and more intelligable than what is expected at LW. Who cares if it wasn't p.c., it was good entertainment!
The kind of stuff that is worse, in my opinion, are topics like "do She likerz mE??" and replies like "Go to hell whore". As much as I hate fascism, I think it's needed (atleast for a short while) at LW. Topics like what I described should be locked and someone should pm them with a possible answer (if they had a question) and something explaining why it was locked should be written. Comments that are given for the sake of being mean should be deleted.
Eventually people will become discouraged and either leave (good riddance) or actually be considerate while getting their opinions across. When that happens, the mods won't need to be Gestapo (sp) anymore for obvious reasons.
That's my "n00b" 2 cents.

Does it matter if it's entertaining?  If it's against the rules, it should be dealt with accordingly.


Child pornography is apparently entertaining to some people, but does that mean it should be condoned?  Certainly not.
